≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Mobile Video Upload Skill
Use this skill when implementing video upload from mobile devices (React Native, iOS, or Android) to backend services, especially for large files requiring resumability, compression, or background processing.
Upload Protocol Comparison
| Factor | tus | GCS Resumable | S3 Multipart |
| Reliability | Built-in resume, checkpoint-based | Built-in resume, 7-day sessions | Manual tracking, parallel parts |
| Complexity | Medium (needs tusd server) | Low (direct to cloud) | Medium (initiate/upload/complete) |
| Ecosystem | Open standard, multi-cloud | GCP only | AWS only |
| RN Support | tus-js-client 4.x + native clients | Via signed URLs | Via signed URLs / Amplify |
Rule of thumb: tus for multi-cloud or self-hosted; native cloud APIs for single-cloud with direct upload.
Compression Decision Matrix
| Condition | Action |
| Mobile network (3G/4G/5G) | Compress on-device |
| Metered WiFi or free-tier user | Compress on-device |
| Unmetered WiFi + user selects "Original" | Send raw |
| Time-critical (live event) | Light or no compression |
| Archival / professional content | Send raw, server-side transcode |
Key Libraries (March 2026)
| Library | Version | Status |
react-native-compressor | 1.10.x | Active — primary compression choice |
react-native-background-upload | 6.x | Active — bare workflow only |
tus-js-client | 4.x | Active — needs custom urlStorage for RN |
expo-video-metadata | 2.x | Active — Expo SDK 50+ |
expo-background-task | SDK 50+ | Active — replaces deprecated expo-background-fetch |
@react-native-community/netinfo | 11.x | Active |
ffmpeg-kit-react-native | N/A | RETIRED Jan 2025 — binaries removed from registries |
FFmpegKit is retired (Jan 2025). Binaries removed from registries. Use
react-native-compressorfor standard compression or build FFmpegKit from source if advanced codec support is required.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
