android_workmanager_best_practices

android_workmanager_best_practices is a cursor rule for Cursor from nphausg/ai-agent-skills. It costs 9 tokens per session (101 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of guidelines for Android WorkManager, the Android system for scheduling background work that should continue outside the app’s visible screen. It focuses on Kotlin coroutine workers, small data, task dependencies, device constraints, retries, and cleanup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building background uploads, syncing, processing, or other deferred Android work that may need to run later or in a specific order.
Why use it?
It helps background jobs use battery and network resources responsibly and makes failures and retries easier to handle. It also reduces problems caused by tasks that run too long or are no longer needed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

android_workmanager_best_practices scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

  • Use CoroutineWorker for suspendable background work.
  • Keep work inputs and outputs small and serializable.
  • Chain dependent work using WorkContinuation.
  • Use appropriate Constraints for battery and network considerations.
  • Monitor and handle work statuses for retries and failures gracefully.
  • Avoid long-running tasks; break them into smaller units if needed.
  • Clean up or cancel obsolete work to prevent resource leaks.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
