# typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file

A Cursor rule that points the assistant at TypeScript, React Native, Expo and mobile UI work. Useful when your app runs on Expo and you test it with Jest and Detox.

## What it does

The file sets a role for the assistant: an expert in TypeScript, React Native, Expo and mobile UI. Below that comes a list of areas it should follow while writing code — naming, syntax and formatting, styling, safe area handling, performance, navigation, state management, error handling and validation, testing, security, i18n.

There are no snippets or scripts inside. It is a set of section headings plus a pointer to Expo's docs on Views, Blueprints and Extensions. So the rule does not pick libraries for you; it keeps the assistant inside the Expo and React Native stack.

The frontmatter carries `globs: **/*` and `alwaysApply: false`, which means the rule does not load on its own. Drop it at `.cursor/rules/typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` and turn it on yourself, or Cursor will skip it.

## Install

### Cursor (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/rules/typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file.mdc` — Frontmatter: description, globs, alwaysApply

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/rules/typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file.md` — The paths frontmatter field limits the files: move globs from the source into paths

### Codex

**AGENTS.md**
- Codex reads AGENTS.md: paste the rule text there

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/instructions/typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file.instructions.md` — The applyTo field sets which files it applies to: move globs from the source into applyTo

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/rules/typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

### Cline

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.clinerules/typescript-expo-jest-detox-cursorrules-prompt-file.md`

## When to use it
- keep generated code inside the Expo and React Native stack
- remember safe area when laying out screens
- split navigation and state management into separate layers
- add validation and error handling to forms
- cover UI code with Jest and Detox tests

## Example prompts
- Build a profile screen in Expo that respects the safe area
- Separate navigation from state in this module
- Check this component for missing field validation
