Guidance for using an experimental Jetpack Compose API to give custom Android UI components and themes shared visual styles.

Use it to make custom components styleable, define custom themes, and migrate existing custom layout properties. It does not cover Material Design components.

It helps replace scattered layout settings with one styling approach, but requires alpha Compose dependencies and experimental API opt-in.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00070	$0.01959
Opus 5.5	$0.00028	$0.00784
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00392
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00196

Security

Grade A, and why

styles 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 2mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to styles — 40 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Limitations

Warn the user that this skill is EXPERIMENTAL and requires updating to alpha version of Compose and opting in to the Experimental APIs.
This skill only supports custom UI components and custom themes.
This skill does not support Material Design component Styles.

Prerequisites

1. Upgrade dependencies

The project must use compileSdk version 37 or higher.
The project must use androidx.compose.foundation:foundation version 1.12.0-alpha01 or higher.
Alternatively, the project must use Compose BOM version 2026.04.01 or higher.
The API requires this exact package: import androidx.compose.foundation.style.Style

2. Configure compiler options to enable experimental API

You must opt-in to the experimental API at the project level. Add the following block to your module's build.gradle.kts:

kotlin {
    compilerOptions {
        jvmTarget = JvmTarget.fromTarget("17")
        freeCompilerArgs.add("-opt-in=androidx.compose.foundation.style.ExperimentalFoundationStyleApi")
    }
}

Core workflows and guides

Refer to the official documentation to complete specific development tasks:

Basic Style Usage: To set backgrounds, sizes, and alignments on a component, follow the Compose Styles Fundamentals Guide.
State and Transitions: To configure property changes for state shifts (like pressed or hovered), follow the Animations and State-Based Styling Guide.
Architecture Trade offs: To decide when to use a Style versus a standard Modifier, follow the Styles versus Modifiers Comparison.
Theme Level Integration: To connect style definitions with custom themes, follow Theming with Styles and Custom Themes in Compose.

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.
