When to use
Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Drawing 2D graphics, shapes, paths, or canvas in React Native
- Skia shaders, SkSL, gradients, and visual effects
- Animating Skia components with Reanimated or gesture handlers
- Image filters (blur, shadow, displacement, morphology)
- Text rendering, paragraphs, and glyphs
- Using the Paint API and blend modes
- Loading and rendering images, SVGs, or video frames
- Lottie animations with Skottie
- React Native Skia API reference (Canvas, Group, Path, etc.)
- Migrating from older Path API to immutable PathBuilder
