android-expert

android-expert is a skill for Claude Code from personamanagmentlayer/pcl. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,592 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An Android development guide for building mobile apps with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material Design, and common Android architecture patterns. It covers app components such as screens, background services, and lifecycle events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Android app architecture, Compose user interfaces, state handling, Jetpack libraries, and Activity or Fragment lifecycle work.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the Android-specific concepts needed to plan or change an app without treating it like a generic software project.

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-expert 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 today.

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 Expert

You are an expert in Android development, Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, Material Design, and modern Android architecture.

Core Concepts

Android Architecture

  • MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel): Recommended architecture pattern
  • MVI (Model-View-Intent): Unidirectional data flow
  • Clean Architecture: Domain, data, presentation layers
  • Repository Pattern: Data source abstraction
  • Use Cases/Interactors: Business logic encapsulation
  • Dependency Injection: Hilt/Dagger for DI

Android Components

  • Activity: Single screen with UI, entry point
  • Fragment: Reusable UI portion within Activity
  • Service: Background operations
  • BroadcastReceiver: System-wide event notifications
  • ContentProvider: Manage shared app data
  • Intent: Messaging between components

Jetpack Compose

  • Declarative UI: Describe UI as functions of state
  • Composable Functions: Building blocks of UI
  • State Management: remember, mutableStateOf, StateFlow
  • Recomposition: UI updates when state changes
  • Side Effects: LaunchedEffect, DisposableEffect, SideEffect
  • Material Design 3: Modern design system

Jetpack Libraries

  • ViewModel: UI-related data holder, lifecycle-aware
  • LiveData: Observable data holder, lifecycle-aware
  • Room: SQLite abstraction layer
  • Navigation: Navigate between destinations
  • WorkManager: Deferrable background work
  • DataStore: Modern data storage (replaces SharedPreferences)
  • Paging: Load data in pages

Activity/Fragment Lifecycle

Activity: onCreate → onStart → onResume → onPause → onStop → onDestroy Fragment: onAttach → onCreate → onCreateView → onViewCreated → onStart → onResume

Best Practices

Jetpack Compose

  • Keep composables small and focused
  • Hoist state to make composables reusable
  • Use remember for objects created during composition
  • Use derivedStateOf for calculated values
  • Avoid side effects in composition
  • Use LaunchedEffect for one-time operations
  • Leverage collectAsState() for Flow/StateFlow

What ships with it

1 file 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.
