kotlin-coroutines-best-practices

kotlin-coroutines-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from noloman/Android-AI-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (295 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Kotlin Coroutines and Flow rules for Android and Kotlin Multiplatform projects. Coroutines are Kotlin's way to run asynchronous work, while Flow represents values that arrive over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing asynchronous code, shared UI state, event streams, cancellation logic, dispatcher injection, callback integration, or coroutine tests.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common problems such as blocked UI threads, cancelled work being mishandled, leaked background jobs, and hidden errors.

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-coroutines-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 12d 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.

Kotlin Coroutines & Flow Best Practices

Cross-cutting skill — always activates alongside the project-type-specific skill.

Hard Rules

  • No GlobalScope — use scoped coroutines (viewModelScope, lifecycleScope, custom CoroutineScope).
  • No blocking calls on Dispatchers.Main.
  • Structured concurrency — maintain parent-child job hierarchies.
  • Cooperative cancellation — check isActive in long-running loops.
  • Never catch CancellationException.
  • Never swallow exceptions silently.
  • Inject dispatchers — no hardcoded Dispatchers.Main in shared code.
  • Prefer Flow over callbacks.
  • Test coroutines with TestDispatcher + runTest.

Core Patterns

  • StateFlow for UI state, SharedFlow for events.
  • stateIn with WhileSubscribed(5_000) for cold-to-hot conversion.
  • withContext for dispatcher switching.
  • supervisorScope for isolated failure handling.
  • flowOn to change upstream dispatcher.
  • catch operator for upstream flow errors.
  • Prefer callbackFlow over raw Channel for callback interop.

Files

What ships with it

8 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.

kotlin-coroutines-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository noloman/Android-AI-skills (6 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 295 tokens. 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.
