How I Use Claude Code on React Native Projects, and Where I Don't
Using Claude Code on React Native and Expo projects: where it saves time, where it doesn't, a CLAUDE.md that helps, feedback loops, and a review checklist.

Building with AI: coding with Claude Code and Cursor, AI features in mobile apps, MCP servers, RAG, evaluations and AI-assisted refactoring.
Using Claude Code on React Native and Expo projects: where it saves time, where it doesn't, a CLAUDE.md that helps, feedback loops, and a review checklist.
A practical RAG build in TypeScript: chunk and embed documents, store vectors in Postgres with pgvector, retrieve, re-rank and answer in Next.js.
Cursor vs Claude Code vs Codex for React Native and mobile work: how each fits your workflow, instruction files, simulators, combining them and choosing.
What an MCP server is, how it differs from an API, and how to build one that gives your team's AI assistant safe, useful access to internal tools.
Adding AI features in mobile apps: picking the job, on-device models vs cloud APIs, safe architecture, store rules, cost per user and evaluating quality.
Refactoring with AI on large codebases: make it safe first, codemods vs AI, small verifiable batches, reviewing AI diffs, and when to keep AI out.
Treat prompts like code. Use DeepEval to write test cases, score faithfulness, relevancy, and hallucination, and run LLM regression tests in CI before you ship.
