Set up Revopush with an AI agent

Revopush now has an official AI Skill for coding agents. If you use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, or another agent that can install portable skills, the agent can add the Revopush OTA integration to a React Native or Expo project for you.

Revopush AI Skill for coding agents

It does one job: it changes your codebase. It does not create your Revopush account, choose your deployment names, or publish releases.

What the skill is

The skill lives in the revopush/skills repository. It gives a coding agent Revopush-specific instructions: which package to install, how to wire native iOS and Android setup, how to configure the Expo plugin, and where to wrap the root component with codePush().

For teams that have copied CodePush setup snippets by hand, this is the part that is annoying rather than hard. A small mistake in AppDelegate, MainApplication, app.config.ts, or the root layout can leave OTA updates half-installed. The skill makes the agent inspect the project and apply the path that matches the app.

Install it in your agent

For Claude Code, add the Revopush marketplace and install the plugin:

shell

/plugin marketplace add revopush/skills
/plugin install revopush

For an agent that supports the portable skills CLI, install the same skill repository with:

shell

npx skills add https://github.com/revopush/skills

The Revopush docs call out Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and similar coding agents. The install UI may differ by agent, but the repository stays the same.

Ask for the integration

After installation, ask the agent for the Revopush integration you want. For a React Native app:

Add Revopush OTA to this React Native app. Configure iOS and Android, add deployment key placeholders, and wrap the root component with codePush().

For an Expo app:

Add Revopush OTA to this Expo app. Install the SDK and config plugin, update the app config, run prebuild, and wrap the root layout with codePush().

The agent should read the project before editing. It needs to know whether the app is plain React Native or Expo, which native files exist, whether Expo Router is used, and where the root component is exported.

What the agent can change

In a plain React Native app, expect the agent to install @revopush/react-native-code-push, update the native iOS and Android setup, add deployment key placeholders, and wrap the JavaScript entry point with codePush().

In an Expo app, expect the agent to install the Revopush SDK and Expo config plugin, add Revopush settings to the app config, run prebuild, and wrap the root layout. The manual steps are still the same. The agent just applies them inside your repo.

If the project already has custom native code, read the diff before committing. The edits are routine, but they still touch your app's startup path.

What stays on your side

You still need a Revopush account, a Revopush application, and deployment keys from the dashboard. The skill can add placeholders, but you decide which deployment belongs to staging, production, internal testing, or any other release lane.

The skill also does not publish production updates. Use the Revopush CLI for releases after the SDK is integrated and the app has the right deployment keys.

The limits

The AI Skill is not dashboard automation. It cannot create accounts, read your team's release policy, or decide whether an update should be mandatory.

It also cannot remove the need for a real native build. For Expo, Revopush requires native code changes, so the integration does not run in Expo Go. Test with a native development build or a release build.

Give the agent context when the repo is unusual. Monorepos, custom entry files, multiple app targets, or heavily modified native folders may need a more specific prompt and a closer review after the edit.
