webview-footguns is a skill for Claude Code from maxrave-dev/kotlin-footguns. It costs 58 tokens per session (892 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A troubleshooting guide for web screens embedded inside mobile apps, known as WebViews. It covers failures involving low-memory startup, renderer crashes, missing providers, Android view lifecycles, and cookies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an embedded web page freezes, disappears, crashes, loses cookies, or behaves differently across device classes.
Why use it?
A WebView can fail only on certain phones or operating-system setups, making problems that look random difficult to reproduce.

About the project

kotlin-footguns is a collection of agent skills that documents practical failure modes in Kotlin, Compose Multiplatform, and desktop JVM development, with checks and fixes for each issue. It helps coding agents and developers avoid mistakes found while building a production cross-platform music app. The catalogue entries are the project's skills and scanner plugin for applying this knowledge to code changes.

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

webview-footguns 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 yesterday.

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.

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.
