rn-logs Agent Skill

Use rn-logs to read React Native Metro logs via CDP without MCP overhead. Default output is plain text and safe for non-interactive agent runs.

When to use

• You need live Metro logs from a running RN app
• You want low-context, plain text log output

Requirements

• Metro is running
• App is running on a simulator or device

Core workflow

1. List connected apps

rn-logs apps

2. Stream logs

rn-logs logs --app "<id|name>"

3. Snapshot logs

rn-logs logs --app "<id|name>" --limit 50

Non-interactive mode

• When multiple apps are connected, you must pass --app.
• Output is plain text for agent-friendly consumption.

Common failures

• metro not reachable -> start Metro or fix host/port
• no apps connected -> run app on simulator or device
• multiple apps connected -> pass --app
