android-local-persistence-datastore

android-local-persistence-datastore is a skill for Codex from krutikJain/android-agent-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (774 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Android storage guide for DataStore, a typed way to save small pieces of app and user preference data on a device.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to replace SharedPreferences, define stored settings, handle defaults, and plan migrations or offline behavior.
Why use it?
It avoids fragile preference storage and helps preserve data safely when the app changes or is restarted.

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-local-persistence-datastore 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run_examples.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 Local Persistence DataStore

When To Use

  • Use this skill when the request is about: android datastore setup, replace sharedpreferences android, typed local preferences android.
  • Primary outcome: Persist lightweight user and app preferences with DataStore, schema-safe models, and migration-aware defaults.
  • Handoff skills when the scope expands:
  • android-room-database
  • android-modernization-upgrade

Workflow

  1. Confirm the data source, persistence boundary, sync model, and device capability involved.
  2. Model contracts explicitly before wiring network, storage, media, or background APIs.
  3. Apply the recommended AndroidX or platform pattern with migration-safe defaults.
  4. Validate offline, retry, and process death behavior against the sample apps and scenarios.
  5. Escalate security, performance, or release risk to the linked supporting skills when needed.

Guardrails

  • Prefer typed models and explicit serializers over ad-hoc maps or bundles.
  • Keep background work idempotent and cancellation-aware.
  • Do not leak storage, media, or networking details into presentation code.
  • Treat user data durability, privacy, and migration paths as part of the implementation.

Anti-Patterns

  • Blocking the main thread with disk or network calls.
  • Treating retryable sync failures as terminal user-facing errors.
  • Mixing cache models and wire models without a mapping layer.
  • Requesting broad storage or notification capabilities when a narrower API exists.

Examples

Happy path

  • Scenario: Store reminder and filter preferences for OrbitTasks safely.
  • Command: cd examples/orbittasks-compose && ./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest

Edge case

  • Scenario: Migrate old preference keys without breaking the XML fixture.
  • Command: cd examples/orbittasks-xml && ./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest

Failure recovery

  • Scenario: Avoid mixing lightweight preference storage requests with Room persistence work.
  • Command: python3 scripts/eval_triggers.py --skill android-local-persistence-datastore

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.
