kotlin-core

kotlin-core is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GDvega/super-android-kotlin-firebase-skill. It costs 30 tokens per session (580 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing safer and more predictable Kotlin code. Kotlin is the programming language commonly used for modern Android apps; the guide covers null handling, asynchronous work, data models, results, and errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when refactoring domain, data, or ViewModel code, modeling screen states and errors, or fixing coroutine, Flow, and nullability problems.
Why use it?
It helps prevent crashes from missing values, lost cancellation, swallowed errors, and poorly modeled application states. It also keeps asynchronous code testable.

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

kotlin-core 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 10d 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.

Purpose

Keep Kotlin code idiomatic, cancellable, explicit and testable.

When to use

  • Refactoring Kotlin domain, data or ViewModel code.
  • Modeling UI state, domain results or errors.
  • Fixing coroutine, Flow, cancellation or nullability issues.

Inputs to inspect

  • Kotlin version and compiler/plugin setup.
  • Code under change and tests.
  • Coroutine scopes, dispatchers and Flow operators.
  • Expected error and state behavior.

Required workflow

  1. Read the current Kotlin style and version.
  2. Identify state, error and async boundaries.
  3. Choose sealed types, Result or domain errors intentionally.
  4. Preserve cancellation and structured concurrency.
  5. Add or update unit tests for changed behavior.

Rules

  • Never use GlobalScope.
  • Do not swallow CancellationException.
  • Avoid !! except at hard verified boundaries.
  • Keep extension functions focused and discoverable.
  • Expose immutable state to consumers.

Local skills to invoke

  • android-architecture
  • testing
  • dependency-injection
  • ui-state-design

External companion skills to use when installed

Do not assume these companion skills are installed. Prefer the local skills above first, then consult Companion Skills for install and verification commands.

  • android/skills — use for official Android workflow alignment when a first-party companion skill exists for the task.

Files commonly touched

  • *.kt
  • ViewModel files
  • domain models
  • repository interfaces
  • test files

Commands to validate

./gradlew test
./gradlew compileDebugKotlin
./gradlew lint

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Launching coroutines without lifecycle or owner scope.
  • Mixing UI strings into domain errors.
  • Using nullable types where a sealed state is clearer.
  • Creating magical extensions that hide side effects.

Checklist

  • Nullability explicit.
  • Cancellation preserved.
  • Flow/state testable.
  • Errors modeled.
  • Tests added or recommended.

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.
