Expo Dependency Check

Use this skill when package.json has been modified in an Expo/React Native project.

Detection

Is this an Expo project? Check for:

• expo in dependencies/devDependencies in package.json
• app.json, app.config.js, or app.config.ts in project root

If neither indicator exists, skip this workflow.

Package Manager Detection

Check for lock files (first match wins):

Lock File	Package Manager	Command Prefix
bun.lockb or bun.lock	bun	bunx
pnpm-lock.yaml	pnpm	pnpx
yarn.lock	yarn	yarn dlx (yarn 2+) or npx (yarn 1)
package-lock.json	npm	npx
(none)	npm (default)	npx

Workflow

1. Ask the user which action to take:

   • Check only: Run <prefix> expo install --check to see incompatible versions
   • Auto-fix: Run <prefix> expo install --fix to update to compatible versions
   • Skip: Do nothing

2. Execute the chosen command and report results.

Examples

npm project:

npx expo install --check
npx expo install --fix

pnpm project:

pnpx expo install --check
pnpx expo install --fix

bun project:

bunx expo install --check
bunx expo install --fix

yarn (classic) project:

npx expo install --check
npx expo install --fix

yarn (berry/2+) project:

yarn dlx expo install --check
yarn dlx expo install --fix
