Stitch React Native
This skill is a catalog-normalized import from https://github.com/google-labs-code/stitch-skills at commit 7b53207b94e62911777d53d4238b5f8c88c2b519, source path plugins/stitch-build/skills/react-native. The upstream control file was corrected for this workspace: the verified Stitch MCP surface here is design-system oriented, so screen lookup, screen generation, and screen editing tools must be used only when the current host explicitly exposes them.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when Stitch web designs should become React Native screens or existing native components must be synchronized with newer Stitch evidence.
- The task involves Google Stitch project IDs,
.stitch/artifacts, DESIGN.md files, Stitch exports, or Stitch-specific validation. - The broader
stitch-designrouter points here as the narrowest workflow.
Workflow
- Start from exported Stitch HTML and a screenshot, using host-listed screen tools only when present.
- Extract current theme values into
src/theme.tsand record available project/screen identifiers plus the sync timestamp in.stitch/metadata.json. - Map web elements to React Native primitives and wrap visible text in
Text. - Translate CSS into
StyleSheet.create()with shared theme values rather than raw color literals. - Replace hover, fixed positioning, browser-only CSS, and DOM events with native patterns.
- Use
react-native-safe-area-context, accessibility labels and roles, useWindowDimensions, Platform.select, FlatList, and SectionList where appropriate. - Validate syntax with the bundled validator when dependencies are installed.
Local Assets
examples/,resources/,references/, orreference/are upstream support material when present. TreatSKILL.mdas the source of truth if a support file mentions an unavailable MCP tool.scripts/are optional helpers. On Windows, prefer PowerShell or Node equivalents unless Git Bash or WSL is actually available.- Keep generated
.stitch/files out of commits unless the user explicitly wants them as durable examples.
Corrected Stitch MCP Surface
Verified in this workspace on 2026-06-15: create_project, upload_design_md, create_design_system_from_design_md, list_design_systems, and apply_design_system. This 2026-07-29 source refresh did not re-verify a broader live MCP surface. Do not claim list_projects, list_screens, get_project, get_screen, generate_screen_from_text, edit_screens, or generate_variants were used unless the current host exposes those exact tools in the active tool list.
Anti-Patterns
- Claiming a Stitch screen-generation, screen-editing, or screen-retrieval MCP call succeeded when the active host does not expose that tool.
- Uploading files, screenshots, HTML, markdown, or design assets to Stitch without user-approved destination and artifact details.
- Reading, printing, storing, or committing Stitch API keys, MCP config secrets, cookies, or credential-bearing files.
- Treating generated design or code as final without local render, syntax, or artifact verification.
- Collapsing this workflow into a broader frontend/design skill when Stitch-specific files, project IDs, or design-system assets matter.
Verification Protocol
Before claiming this skill was applied successfully:
- Pass/fail: No DOM tags or web event names remain.
- Pass/fail: Text, images, lists, and press interactions use native primitives.
- Pass/fail: iOS and Android shadow/safe-area differences are handled or scoped out.
- Pass/fail: The result was checked with local React Native tooling or blocker evidence.
- Pressure-test scenario: Repeat the workflow with Stitch MCP screen tools unavailable and confirm the fallback path remains honest and actionable.
- Success metric: The user can identify the exact artifact, project/design-system target, and verification evidence without relying on unstated MCP behavior.
Cross-Client Portability
This skill is written to stay usable across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex.
- GitHub Copilot: keep the folder in a Copilot-visible skill path or wrap the workflow in project instructions when folder discovery is unavailable.
- Claude Code: keep the folder in a local skills directory or a compatible plugin source.
- Codex: install or sync the folder into
$CODEX_HOME/skills/stitch-react-nativeand restart Codex after major changes.
MCP Availability And Fallback
Preferred MCP Server: Stitch MCP
- Fallback prompt: "Use the Stitch React Native skill without Stitch MCP. Use local HTML/screenshots and manual native mapping when Stitch MCP screen retrieval is unavailable. Show the exact files, commands, manual Stitch UI steps, and verification evidence used before concluding."
- Verified Stitch MCP tools in this workspace are design-system/project oriented; use broader screen tools only when the current host exposes them.
- Use local scripts, exported HTML/screenshots, the Stitch web UI, and project metadata files as the fallback evidence path.
