In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.

• auditing-compose-performance

  Use this skill to run an end-to-end Jetpack Compose performance audit when the symptom is broad ("the app feels sluggish", "scroll is rough everywhere", "we're starting a perf sprint", "what should we fix first?"). Orchestrates the four-phase Measure → Diagnose → Fix → Verify loop by sequencing the 25 focused skills (release-mode setup, R8, Baseline Profiles, Compose Compiler reports, stability i…

• configuring-r8-for-compose

  Use this skill to configure R8 correctly for a Jetpack Compose application — full mode by default, `proguard-android-optimize.txt`, resource shrinking on, and minimal keep rules because Compose ships consumer ProGuard rules. Covers AGP 8.0+ R8 full mode default, R8's Compose-aware optimizations (lambda grouping, `sourceInformation()` stripping, composable arg constant-folding, `ComposerImpl` devi…

• iterating-with-ai-and-mcp

  Use this skill to drive Compose HotSwan from an AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP client) so the agent can edit a Kotlin file, trigger a hot reload, capture a device screenshot, evaluate the result against a design intent, and iterate without a human in the loop. Covers the seven HotSwan MCP tools (hotswan_get_status, hotswan_reload, hotswan_take_screenshot, hotswan_start_snapshot, hotswan_s…

• preserving-state-across-reloads

  Use this skill to keep Jetpack Compose state alive across HotSwan hot reloads by understanding the three escalating tiers Compose HotSwan uses (tier 1 targeted recomposition, tier 2 composition reset, tier 3 Activity.recreate) and choosing edits and state holders that stay inside tier 1 where scroll position, lazy items, dialog state, and per-composable remember values all survive. Explains which…

• understanding-hot-reload-limits

  Use this skill to teach Claude exactly which Kotlin and Compose changes hot-reload under Compose HotSwan and which trigger a full incremental rebuild fallback. Root cause is Android Runtime (ART) class schema immutability; only method bodies are mutable at runtime, so any change to fields, signatures, constructors, interfaces, inline functions, or new resource ids forces a rebuild. Covers the sup…

• tracing-recompositions-at-runtime

  Use this skill to instrument a Jetpack Compose composable with `@TraceRecomposition` from `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` so per-recomposition diffs (which state or parameter changed, what value transition) print to logcat under the `Recomposition` tag. Works in release-with-debug-symbols builds where Android Studio Layout Inspector cannot reach, and feeds the IntelliJ / Android Studio plug…

• avoiding-subcomposition-pitfalls

  Use this skill when a Compose tree uses SubcomposeLayout, BoxWithConstraints, or Scaffold and the developer reports extra measure passes, slow first frame, or layout passes running content composition repeatedly. Covers why SubcomposeLayout composes its slots during the measure phase, why BoxWithConstraints forces a subcomposition for every new Constraints value, why nesting Scaffold or BoxWithCo…

• choosing-derivedstateof

  Use this skill to decide when Jetpack Compose derivedStateOf is the right tool and when it is pure overhead. Covers the "input frequency must exceed output frequency" rule, the mandatory remember { derivedStateOf { } } wrapper, the canonical pitfall of capturing non-state variables by initial value (and the remember(key) fix), and the snapshotFlow alternative for fire-and-forget side effects on d…

• deferring-state-reads

  Use this skill to push frequently-changing Jetpack Compose state reads (scroll position, animation values, drag offsets) out of the Composition phase and down into Layout or Draw using lambda-based modifiers like Modifier.offset { }, Modifier.layout { }, Modifier.graphicsLayer { }, Modifier.drawBehind { }, and Modifier.drawWithCache { }. Covers the three-phase model (Composition, Layout, Draw), w…

• using-strong-skipping-correctly

  Use this skill to reason about Jetpack Compose's Strong Skipping Mode — the default since Kotlin 2.0.20 — including what it changes about skippability, when it does and does not auto-`remember` lambdas, and which escape hatches (`@DontMemoize`, `@NonSkippableComposable`, `@NonRestartableComposable`, `@ReadOnlyComposable`) apply where. Covers verifying the mode is active, auditing lambda capture s…

• collecting-flows-safely

  Use this skill to migrate Compose UI from `collectAsState()` to `collectAsStateWithLifecycle()`, hoist `Flow<T>` parameters out of composables, and apply `.conflate()` / `.distinctUntilChanged()` / `snapshotFlow` so background CPU and battery stop draining and chatty flows stop invalidating the UI per emission. Covers ViewModel `StateFlow`/`SharedFlow` consumers, sensor and location streams, and…

• enforcing-stability-in-ci

  Use this skill to set up a CI gate that fails the build when Compose stability silently regresses, using the `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` Gradle plugin (primary) or the `j-roskopf/ComposeGuard` plugin (alternative for non-Android multiplatform). Covers applying `com.github.skydoves.compose.stability.analyzer`, configuring the `composeStabilityAnalyzer { stabilityValidation { ... } }` DSL…

• stabilizing-compose-types

  Use this skill to fix unstable Jetpack Compose types once a stability diagnosis has identified them. Covers the three-tier strategy — make the type truly stable with val plus immutable fields, mark with @Immutable or @Stable when the source is owned, and use stabilityConfigurationFiles for third-party or Java types. Explains the compiler-level difference between @Immutable and @Stable (static exp…
