Arabic Family App RTL Skill

Purpose

Use this skill to review, plan, or QA Arabic-first family and community apps. It focuses on right-to-left layout, Arabic/English bilingual copy, onboarding, invite or approval flows, privacy, and local-first/demo-safe behavior.

It is especially useful for React Native, Expo, Flutter, web apps, and no-code prototypes that need Arabic as the default user experience.

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Review an Arabic-first app screen or feature.
  • Convert an English UI flow into Arabic/RTL.
  • Check Arabic copy, labels, empty states, buttons, and validation messages.
  • Plan onboarding, registration, invite-only access, or admin approval flows.
  • Verify family/community app privacy rules before adding backend sync.
  • Prepare a concise handoff for a coding agent without exposing secrets.

Inputs

Ask for or use the safest available inputs:

  • App goal and audience.
  • Screen name or feature name.
  • Default language and secondary language.
  • Screenshot, route/component path, or pasted UI text.
  • Known constraints: private family app, kids excluded/included, admin approval, local/demo mode, Supabase/Firebase/backend status.

Never request passwords, OTPs, private keys, live family data, or production database credentials.

Review checklist

1. RTL layout

  • Arabic screens use RTL direction consistently.
  • Icons that imply direction are mirrored only when appropriate.
  • Back arrows, progress indicators, tabs, cards, and form fields feel natural in RTL.
  • Mixed Arabic/English text does not break number, email, URL, or phone formatting.
  • Long Arabic names wrap cleanly and do not overlap icons or buttons.

2. Arabic copy quality

  • Main labels are short and natural, not literal machine translations.
  • Buttons use action verbs and clear outcomes.
  • Error messages explain what to fix without blaming the user.
  • Empty states tell the user what happens next.
  • Sensitive family/community wording is respectful and private.

3. Bilingual consistency

  • English and Arabic screens describe the same feature and status.
  • Required fields match in both languages.
  • Dates, phone numbers, emails, and family names remain readable.
  • The app never mixes hardcoded English inside Arabic user-facing screens unless intended.

4. Onboarding and registration

  • The first-run flow explains what the app is, who can join, and who approves access.
  • If invite-only, the invite-code step appears before collecting unnecessary personal data.
  • Pending, rejected, and approved states are clear.
  • Logout or contact-admin options are available when the user is blocked.

5. Admin approval and privacy

  • Admin-only actions are hidden from normal members.
  • Approval/rejection flows are reversible where possible.
  • Private family data is not shown to unapproved users.
  • Kids/guardian flows are either fully implemented or clearly deferred; no half-enabled unsafe path.
  • The UI distinguishes demo data from real private data when useful.

6. Local-first and backend safety

  • The app can run safely without backend environment variables if that is a product goal.
  • Missing Supabase/Firebase keys should not crash the app.
  • Backend migrations, RLS policies, or production writes are not run without explicit approval.
  • Demo profiles, mock data, and local storage are clearly separated from live data.

Coding-agent handoff template

Task: Improve Arabic/RTL behavior for [screen/feature].
Scope: Only change [files/components].
Keep: Arabic default, RTL support, local/demo fallback, no secrets, no production DB changes.
Check:
1. Arabic labels and empty states.
2. RTL spacing/alignment.
3. English/Arabic key parity.
4. TypeScript/build check.
Stop before: backend migration, account changes, publishing, or destructive edits.

Safety rules

  • Do not expose private family information in examples.
  • Do not print .env files or secrets.
  • Do not run production migrations, publish app builds, or upload data without approval.
  • Do not activate kids/chat/payment features unless the user explicitly approved them.
  • Prefer small, reviewable changes with a real verification command.

Example prompts

  • Review this Arabic family app screen for RTL and privacy issues.
  • Create a bilingual onboarding checklist for an invite-only family app.
  • Prepare a Cursor handoff to fix Arabic labels and RTL spacing in this Expo screen.
  • Compare Arabic and English translation keys for missing user-facing strings.
