# Design React Native State Flows

Complex React Native flows can fail when async steps, state updates, and UI feedback are not modeled clearly. This skill gives structured patterns for explicit flow states, validations, logging, and tests.

## Capabilities

- Explains how to model multi-step React Native operations as explicit states and transitions.
- Provides TypeScript examples for ordered async flow execution with validation after each step.
- Shows how to track flow state in a store for loading, ready, complete, and error UI states.
- Includes integration test patterns for happy paths and failures at individual flow steps.
- Offers a checklist for designing, implementing, testing, and documenting complex flows.
- Gives criteria for deciding when to use XState instead of simpler explicit flow code.

## Use Cases

- Plan an Async Feature Flow: Map each step, precondition, postcondition, and error transition before coding a React Native feature.
- Debug Flow Ordering Bugs: Inspect missing awaits, invalid transitions, and weak postcondition checks in a multi-step flow.
- Review Flow Test Coverage: Create integration tests that verify happy paths, persisted state, and failures at each async step.

## Prompt Templates

### Sketch a Flow

```
Use the rn-state-flows skill to outline states, transitions, preconditions, postconditions, and error states for this React Native flow: [describe feature].
```

### Convert Code to Explicit Steps

```
Apply rn-state-flows patterns to refactor this React Native async function into explicit ordered steps with validation and error handling: [paste code].
```

### Add UI Flow State

```
Use rn-state-flows to design store state and component rendering for loading, ready, submitting, complete, and error states in this screen: [describe screen].
```

### Audit and Test a Complex Flow

```
Act as a React Native reviewer using rn-state-flows. Find ordering risks, missing postconditions, weak error transitions, and integration test gaps in this flow: [paste flow and tests].
```

## Limitations

- It is guidance-only and does not include executable package code or automation scripts.
- Examples are centered on React Native assessment retake flows and may need adaptation.
- It does not implement a complete XState machine or install any state management library.
- It does not replace project-specific testing for real APIs, storage, and navigation behavior.

## Best Practices

- Document every flow state with its preconditions, action, postconditions, and error handling.
- Validate state after each async step and log transitions with a flow identifier.
- Write integration tests for the happy path and for failures at each important step.

## Anti Patterns

- Starting dependent async steps without awaiting the previous required state update.
- Keeping flow state implicit across scattered functions with no transition model.
- Testing only isolated functions while ignoring full user journeys and failure paths.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T05:45:37.738\+00:00
- Summary: All static findings were adjudicated as false positives after reviewing SKILL.md. The skill is documentation for React Native async flow design and includes TypeScript examples, Markdown fences, logging templates, and tests; no command execution, secret handling, system reconnaissance, or prompt injection was found.
