android-architecture

A set of Android code-organization rules for Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps using Room, Navigation Compose, ViewModels, and coroutines. It defines preferred packages and boundaries between the interface, business logic, and data access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Structuring offline Android apps, organizing repositories and ViewModels, managing Room database migrations, and keeping Compose screens focused on UI.
Why use it?
It keeps application code easier to understand and helps prevent screen code, database code, and business rules from becoming mixed together.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-architecture 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 yesterday.

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

Android Architecture Rules

Use:

  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • Room SQLite
  • Navigation Compose
  • ViewModel
  • Coroutines / Flow where useful

Preferred package structure:

app/src/main/java/com/preshan/grocerylist/

  • data/local/entity
  • data/local/dao
  • data/local/database
  • data/repository
  • domain/model
  • domain/usecase
  • ui/navigation
  • ui/screens/home
  • ui/screens/quickselect
  • ui/screens/shopping
  • ui/screens/manageitems
  • ui/screens/settings
  • ui/components
  • ui/theme
  • util

Rules:

  • Keep business logic out of Composables.
  • Use ViewModels for screen state.
  • Use repositories for data access.
  • Do not create backend/API code.
  • Do not add unnecessary dependencies.
  • Keep code simple and readable.
  • Use Room migrations carefully.
  • Do not add AdMob until core offline flow is working.

Additional implementation guardrails:

  • Keep composables stateless where possible; hoist mutable UI state to ViewModel.
  • Expose immutable StateFlow/UI state models from ViewModel.
  • Keep DAO interfaces focused and transaction logic inside repository/database layer.
  • Add migrations explicitly for schema changes; do not rely on destructive migration in release builds.

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.

android-architecture is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository preshan/GroceryList (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 307 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
