android-compose-migration

android-compose-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 47 tokens per session (687 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for converting Android XML layouts, the older screen-description format, into Jetpack Compose, Android’s Kotlin-based UI toolkit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when moving an XML screen to Compose, adding Compose to an existing Android app, or migrating layouts incrementally.
Why use it?
It makes a gradual migration easier by checking the existing layout, mapping each view to Compose, and comparing the new screen with the old one.

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-compose-migration 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 9d 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.

XML to Jetpack Compose Migration

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Structured 10-step workflow for migrating XML layouts to Compose.

Step 1: Identify the migration candidate

If the user specified a target XML layout, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, pick the best candidate:

  • Prefer leaf layouts (not deeply nested in other XMLs).
  • Prefer layouts with few custom Views.
  • Avoid layouts with complex RecyclerView adapters as a first migration.

Step 2: Analyze the layout

Examine the XML structure: list all Views, data bindings, click listeners, style references, and custom Views needing AndroidView wrappers.

Step 3: Create a plan

Generate a checklist of every View → Composable mapping. Present to user for approval.

Step 4: Capture baseline UI

Ask the user for a screenshot, or take one via emulator for visual comparison.

Step 5: Set up Compose dependencies

Check build.gradle.kts or libs.versions.toml for Compose BOM and compiler. If missing, add them. See dependency setup.

Step 6: Set up Compose theming

If missing, initialize minimum required theme — map XML colors/styles to Compose. Do NOT migrate the entire theme.

Step 7: Migrate the XML layout

Convert each View to its Compose equivalent. See interop patterns for the View→Composable mapping table, ComposeView, and AndroidView usage. Include a @Preview for every new Composable. Use LazyColumn or LazyRow for list-heavy screens instead of flattening them into one large static composable.

Step 8: Replace usages

Use ComposeView to host Compose in Views, or AndroidView for Views in Compose. See interop patterns.

Step 9: Validate

Compare baseline screenshot with Compose Preview. Focus on layout and styling. Iterate until visual parity.

Step 10: Clean up

Delete the migrated XML file and legacy tests. Only remove code not referenced elsewhere.

Verification

  • Compose Preview renders correctly.
  • Visual parity with original XML layout.
  • ./gradlew build succeeds.
  • No broken references to deleted XML files.

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.
