# React Native AI Skills ## Overview Example workflow for integrating on-device AI in React Native apps using the @react-native-ai ecosystem. Available provider tracks (can be combined): - **Apple** – Apple Intelligence (iOS 26+) - **Llama** – GGUF models via llama.rn - **MLC** – MLC-LLM models - **NCNN** – Low-level NCNN inference wrapper (vision, custom models) ## Path Selection Gate (Must Run First) Before selecting any reference file, classify the user request: 1. Select **Apple**: - if you intend to build with: `apple`, `Apple Intelligence`, `Apple Foundation Models` - if you want features: `transcription`, `speech synthesis`, `embeddings` on Apple devices - optionally with capabilities: tool calling 2. Select **Llama**: - if you intend to use the following technologies: `llama`, `GGUF`, `llama.rn`, `HuggingFace`, `SmolLM` - if you want to perform the following operations: `embedding model`, `rerank`, `speech model` 3. Select **MLC**: - if you intend to use a library that allows for custom models and involves build-time model optimizations 4. Select **NCNN**: - if you need to use run low-level inference on bare metal tensors - if you intend to run inference of custom models such as convolutional networks, multi-layer perceptrons, low-level inference, etc. - DO NOT select NCNN if the prompt mentions LLMs only, this use case is better solved by other providers ## Skill Format Each reference file follows a strict execution format: - Quick Command - When to Use - Prerequisites - Step-by-Step Instructions - Common Pitfalls - Related Skills Use the checklists exactly as written before moving to the next phase. ## When to Apply Reference this package when: - Integrating on-device AI in React Native apps - Installing and configuring @react-native-ai providers - Managing model downloads (llama, mlc) - Wiring providers with Vercel AI SDK (generateText, streamText) - Implementing SetupAdapter pattern for multi-provider apps - Debugging native module or Expo plugin issues ## Priority-Ordered Guidelines | Priority | Category | Impact | Start File | | -------- | --------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------- | | 1 | Path selection and baseline | N/A | [quick-start][quick-start] | | 2 | Apple provider | N/A | [apple-provider][apple-provider] | | 3 | Llama provider | N/A | [llama-provider][llama-provider] | | 4 | MLC-LLM provider | N/A | [mlc-provider][mlc-provider] | | 5 | NCNN provider | N/A | [ncnn-provider][ncnn-provider] | ## Quick Reference ```bash npm install # Provider-specific install npm add @react-native-ai/apple npm add @react-native-ai/llama llama.rn npm add @react-native-ai/mlc npm add @react-native-ai/ncnn-wrapper ``` Route by path: - Apple: [apple-provider][apple-provider] - Llama: [llama-provider][llama-provider] - MLC: [mlc-provider][mlc-provider] - NCNN: [ncnn-provider][ncnn-provider] ## References | File | Impact | Description | | -------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------ | | [quick-start][quick-start] | N/A | Shared preflight | | [apple-provider][apple-provider] | N/A | Apple Intelligence setup and integration | | [llama-provider][llama-provider] | N/A | GGUF models, llama.rn, model management | | [mlc-provider][mlc-provider] | N/A | MLC models, download, prepare, Expo plugin | | [ncnn-provider][ncnn-provider] | N/A | NCNN wrapper, loadModel, runInference | ## Problem → Skill Mapping | Problem | Start With | | ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | Need path decision first | [quick-start][quick-start] | | Integrate Apple Intelligence | [apple-provider][apple-provider] | | Run GGUF models from HuggingFace | [llama-provider][llama-provider] | | Run MLC-LLM models (Llama, Phi, Qwen) | [mlc-provider][mlc-provider] | | Use NCNN for custom inference | [ncnn-provider][ncnn-provider] | | Multi-provider app with SetupAdapter | [quick-start][quick-start] → provider-specific | | Expo + native module setup | Provider-specific (each has Expo notes) | [quick-start]: references/quick-start.md [apple-provider]: references/apple-provider.md [llama-provider]: references/llama-provider.md [mlc-provider]: references/mlc-provider.md [ncnn-provider]: references/ncnn-provider.md --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/callstackincubator) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions. <!-- tomevault:4.0:skill_md:2026-04-16 -->
