stream-react-native

name	stream-react-native
description	Builds, integrates, migrates, and audits Stream Chat, Stream Video, and Stream Feeds in React Native CLI and Expo apps. Use when scaffolding a new RN/Expo Chat, Video, or Feeds app, adding Stream to an existing RN app, upgrading a Stream SDK version (stream-chat-react-native v8 to v9, Feeds v2 to v3), migrating from Sendbird (@sendbird/chat, @sendbird/uikit-react-native), answering RN/Expo SDK how-to questions, or customizing Stream RN UI. Triggers on React Native, Expo, Expo Router, stream-chat-react-native, stream-chat-expo, @stream-io/video-react-native-sdk, @stream-io/feeds-react-native-sdk, channel list, message list, MessageComposer, threads, attachment picker, audio messages, offline support, push notifications, video call, livestream, audio room, ringing, CallContent, ParticipantView, activity/timeline/notification feed, useCreateFeedsClient, StreamFeeds, comments, reactions, follows, and theming. React Native and Expo only - not web React (use stream-react), not Moderation review UI.
license	See LICENSE in repository root
compatibility	Supports new or existing React Native CLI and Expo apps running Stream Chat RN or Stream Video RN with React Native New Architecture. The `getstream` CLI is the default credentials and requested demo-data path; pasted API key and token are accepted as fallback.

Stream React Native - skill router + execution flow

Rules: Read RULES.md once per session. Every non-negotiable React Native Chat, Video, and Feeds rule is stated there.

This file is the single entrypoint: intent classification, product selection, project detection, and module pointers for Stream Chat React Native, Stream Video React Native, and Stream Feeds React Native work.

Step 0: Intent classifier (mandatory first - never skip)

Before any tool call, decide the track from the user's input alone. Do not probe the filesystem first.
