description: "Best practices for using Radon IDE's MCP tools when developing, debugging, and inspecting React Native and Expo apps. Use when interacting with a running app through Radon IDE - viewing screenshots, reading logs, inspecting the component tree, debugging network requests, reloading the app, or querying React Native documentation and library info. Trigger on: 'debug React Native', 'fix UI', 'network issues', 'build issues', 'Radon IDE', 'view screenshot', 'app logs', 'component tree', 'network inspector', 'reload app', 'React Native docs', 'library description', 'emulator', 'development viewport', 'view_screenshot', 'view_application_logs', 'view_component_tree', 'reload_application', 'view_network_logs', 'view_network_request_details', 'query_documentation', 'get_library_description', and every request involving live app inspection, debugging or development in a Radon IDE session."
