How to use
- Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
- Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
- Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

Android Compose Foundations
When To Use
- Use this skill when the request is about: jetpack compose screen, compose layout in android, modifier cleanup compose.
- Primary outcome: Build Android UI with Jetpack Compose foundations, layouts, modifiers, theming, and stable component structure.
- Handoff skills when the scope expands:
android-compose-state-effectsandroid-material3-design-system
Workflow
- Identify whether the target surface is Compose, View system, or a mixed interoperability screen.
- Select the lowest-friction UI pattern that satisfies responsiveness, accessibility, and performance needs.
- Build the UI around stable state, explicit side effects, and reusable design tokens.
- Exercise edge cases such as long text, font scaling, RTL, and narrow devices in the fixture apps.
- Validate with unit, UI, and screenshot-friendly checks before handing off.
Guardrails
- Optimize for stable state and predictable rendering before adding animation or abstraction.
- Respect accessibility semantics, contrast, focus order, and touch target guidance by default.
- Do not mix Compose and View system ownership without an explicit interoperability boundary.
- Prefer measured performance work over premature micro-optimizations.
Anti-Patterns
- Embedding navigation or business logic directly in leaf UI components.
- Using fixed dimensions that break on localization or dynamic text.
- Ignoring semantics and announcing only visual changes.
- Porting XML patterns directly into Compose without adapting the mental model.
Examples
Happy path
- Scenario: Refine the Compose OrbitTasks board with stable slots and theme tokens.
- Command:
cd examples/orbittasks-compose && ./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest
Edge case
- Scenario: Keep previews and layout behavior stable under narrow widths and long text.
- Command:
cd examples/orbittasks-compose && ./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
Failure recovery
- Scenario: Keep general Compose requests from drifting into state/effects or performance work.
- Command:
python3 scripts/eval_triggers.py --skill android-compose-foundations
Done Checklist
- The implementation path is explicit, minimal, and tied to the right Android surface.
- Relevant example commands and benchmark prompts have been exercised or updated.
- Handoffs to adjacent skills are documented when the request crosses boundaries.
- Official references cover the chosen pattern and the main migration or troubleshooting path.
