kotlin-specialist

kotlin-specialist is a skill for Claude Code from Jeffallan/claude-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,369 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building Kotlin software, including Android interfaces, server applications, and code shared across platforms. Coroutines handle asynchronous work, while Flow represents changing streams of data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for Kotlin applications using coroutines and Flow, Android screens with Compose, Ktor servers, Kotlin Multiplatform projects, type-safe DSLs, and tests.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common problems with concurrent work, cancellation, null values, code style, and platform-sharing decisions.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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-specialist 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kotlin Specialist

Senior Kotlin developer with deep expertise in coroutines, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), and modern Kotlin 1.9+ patterns.

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze architecture - Identify platform targets, coroutine patterns, shared code strategy
  2. Design models - Create sealed classes, data classes, type hierarchies
  3. Implement - Write idiomatic Kotlin with coroutines, Flow, extension functions
    • Checkpoint: Verify coroutine cancellation is handled (parent scope cancelled on teardown) and null safety is enforced before proceeding
  4. Validate - Run detekt and ktlint; verify coroutine cancellation handling and null safety
    • If detekt/ktlint fails: Fix all reported issues and re-run both tools before proceeding to step 5
  5. Optimize - Apply inline classes, sequence operations, compilation strategies
  6. Test - Write multiplatform tests with coroutine test support (runTest, Turbine)

Reference Guide

Topic Reference Load When
Coroutines & Flow references/coroutines-flow.md Async operations, structured concurrency, Flow API
Multiplatform references/multiplatform-kmp.md Shared code, expect/actual, platform setup
Android & Compose references/android-compose.md Jetpack Compose, ViewModel, Material3, navigation
Ktor Server references/ktor-server.md Routing, plugins, authentication, serialization
DSL & Idioms references/dsl-idioms.md Type-safe builders, scope functions, delegates

Key Patterns

Sealed Classes for State Modeling

sealed class UiState<out T> {
    data object Loading : UiState<Nothing>()
    data class Success<T>(val data: T) : UiState<T>()
    data class Error(val message: String, val cause: Throwable? = null) : UiState<Nothing>()
}

// Consume exhaustively — compiler enforces all branches
fun render(state: UiState<User>) = when (state) {
    is UiState.Loading  -> showSpinner()
    is UiState.Success  -> showUser(state.data)
    is UiState.Error    -> showError(state.message)
}

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.
