Codex Phone Lab
Install a Codex skill that turns a mobile app prompt into an Expo/React Native app you can open on a real phone with Expo Go.
Install
npx codex-phone-labThen ask Codex:
Use $codex-phone-lab and make me a notes app for my phone.What It Does
- Checks the local Expo/Node environment.
- Creates Expo SDK 54 apps when needed, matching the current Expo Go workflow.
- Starts Expo preview with a phone QR code.
- Guides Codex to build real mobile screens, not landing pages.
- Keeps the fast loop: prompt, code, Expo Go, live phone refresh.
Requirements
- Node.js and npm.
- Expo Go installed on the phone.
- Phone and computer on the same Wi-Fi for LAN mode.
If LAN mode fails, use tunnel mode from the installed skill script:
~/.codex/skills/codex-phone-lab/scripts/start-phone-preview.sh tunnelOverride the skill's default app template only when your Expo Go supports a newer SDK:
CODEX_PHONE_LAB_EXPO_TEMPLATE=expo-template-default@sdk-55 ~/.codex/skills/codex-phone-lab/scripts/new-expo-app.sh my-app
