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
- •List connected apps
bash
rn-logs apps
- •Stream logs
bash
rn-logs logs --app "<id|name>"
- •Snapshot logs
bash
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
