Use for anything related to EAS Observe — adding `expo-observe` to an Expo project (AppMetricsRoot/ObserveRoot HOC, markInteractive, the useObserve hook, the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations for per-route metrics, and user-defined events via `Observe.logEvent`), querying via the EAS CLI (`eas observe:metrics-summary`, `observe:metrics`, `observe:routes`, `observe:events`, `observe:versions`), or interpreting the resulting metrics (cold/warm launch, TTR, TTI, navigation cold/warm TTR, update download, and the TTI frameRate params for triaging slow startups).
EAS Observe tracks startup, navigation, and custom-event performance from production Expo apps.
Source of truth: https://docs.expo.dev/eas/observe/ — always consult the canonical docs when API details matter, especially get-started, configuration, integrations, and the metrics reference. EAS Observe is evolving; this skill's references are written to stay accurate but may lag the docs.
The three reference files in ./references/ cover the three things people typically need this skill for:
./references/setup.md. Install, wrap the root layout (AppMetricsRoot on SDK 55, ObserveRoot on SDK 56+), call markInteractive() (global on SDK 55, via the useObserve() hook on SDK 56+), optional per-route navigation metrics through the Expo Router / React Navigation integrations, and user-defined events via Observe.logEvent (SDK 56+)../references/queries.md. The five eas observe:* commands — metrics-summary, metrics, routes, events, versions — with flags, table layouts, JSON shapes, and common workflows../references/metrics.md. Target thresholds per metric, what the TTI frameRate.* params mean, and diagnostic patterns for telling slow-but-smooth startup apart from main-thread contention or hard blocks.
