android-kotlin-development

android-kotlin-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 38 tokens per session (597 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building native Android apps in Kotlin, a programming language designed for Android, with Jetpack libraries and Compose for user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build Android screens, call APIs with Retrofit, store data with Room, navigate between screens, and organize code with MVVM, a pattern that separates display logic from application data.
Why use it?
It gives structure for organizing Android apps and connecting screens to web services and local data.

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-kotlin-development 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-api.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Android Kotlin Development

Table of Contents

Overview

Build robust native Android applications using Kotlin with modern architecture patterns, Jetpack libraries, and Compose for declarative UI.

When to Use

  • Creating native Android applications with best practices
  • Using Kotlin for type-safe development
  • Implementing MVVM architecture with Jetpack
  • Building modern UIs with Jetpack Compose
  • Integrating with Android platform APIs

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// Models
data class User(
  val id: String,
  val name: String,
  val email: String,
  val avatarUrl: String? = null
)

data class Item(
  val id: String,
  val title: String,
  val description: String,
  val imageUrl: String? = null,
  val price: Double
)

// API Service with Retrofit
interface ApiService {
  @GET("/users/{id}")
  suspend fun getUser(@Path("id") userId: String): User

  @PUT("/users/{id}")
  suspend fun updateUser(
    @Path("id") userId: String,
    @Body user: User
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use Kotlin for all new Android code
  • Implement MVVM with Jetpack libraries
  • Use Jetpack Compose for UI development
  • Leverage coroutines for async operations
  • Use Room for local data persistence
  • Implement proper error handling
  • Use Hilt for dependency injection
  • Use StateFlow for reactive state
  • Test on multiple device types
  • Follow Android design guidelines

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
