expo-design-system

Airbnb-DLS-aligned design system engineering for Expo / React Native apps targeting both web and native iOS, built on Unistyles v3, Reanimated, Skia, and FlashList. Use whenever building, reviewing, or refactoring shared UI — design tokens, theming, variant-driven component APIs, typography, spacing, cross-platform web/iOS parity, native-feel performance, or complex surfaces like calendars and drawing canvases (examples use a clinic app). Covers token architecture, theming, component API contracts (variants over style props), web/iOS parity (Unistyles `_web` hover/focus/cursor, Platform splits, one shared theme), the Unistyles styling engine, and governance. Trigger even when the user does not say "design system" but is creating or changing reusable React Native components, tokens, theme code, or making a component behave natively on both web and iOS. Teaches how to BUILD the design system; pair with expo-react-native-coder for features and expo-ios-hig for iOS native-feel decisions.
