Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00019 | $0.00439 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00219 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00088 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
compose-multiplatform-best-practices 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.
What it actually says
Compose Multiplatform Rules
Activate if shared UI composables exist in commonMain.
Hard Rules
- No Android ViewModel in shared UI — use StateHolder pattern with StateFlow.
- No
android.*imports in shared composables — use Compose Multiplatform APIs. - No
R.drawableorR.string— use Compose Resources API (Res.drawable,Res.string). - Navigation logic owned by platform layer or multiplatform navigation library — never depend on
androidx.navigationdirectly in commonMain. - Use
org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.composeGradle plugin — not the old compiler artifact. - No
LocalContext.currentin shared code — it's Android-only.
Core Patterns
State Management
- StateHolder class in commonMain exposes
StateFlow<UiState>. - Platform layer wraps StateHolder with lifecycle-aware collection.
- Shared composables receive state as parameters — fully stateless.
Platform-Specific UI
- Use
expect/actual@Composablefunctions for platform-specific widgets. - Keep platform composables minimal — delegate to shared composables where possible.
- iOS:
ComposeUIViewControllerhosts shared Compose UI in SwiftUI/UIKit. - Desktop:
Window,Tray,MenuBarfromcompose.desktop.currentOs.
Resources
- Use Compose Resources:
org.jetbrains.compose.resourcesmodule. - Place resources in
commonMain/composeResources/. - Access via generated
Resobject:Res.drawable.icon,Res.string.app_name. - Supports images, strings, fonts, and raw files across all platforms.
Navigation
- Recommended libraries: Voyager, Decompose, or androidx.navigation (multiplatform alpha).
- Define screen models/configurations in commonMain.
- Platform entry points select the initial screen/route.

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.
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.

compose-multiplatform-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository noloman/Android-AI-skills (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 439 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
