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 | $0.00217 | $0.02847 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00109 | $0.01424 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00043 | $0.00569 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00285 |
Grade A, and why
android-dev 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 3d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 166 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Android / KMP baseline
House defaults — apply them without reminders or re-derivation; where the project's actual conventions differ, follow the project:
- DI: Hilt + KSP (or
android-skills:koinwhen the project uses Koin). Async: Coroutines/Flow — noLiveDatain new code. JSON:kotlinx.serialization. Images: Coil. - Network/local: Android uses Retrofit/OkHttp + Room; KMP shared uses Ktor + Room or SQLDelight. Retrofit is Android-only — never in a shared module.
- Modules: feature-vertical packages and modules;
:core:modelhas zero Android deps;:feature:*modules never depend on each other. - Errors: mapped to a domain type at the repository boundary — platform exceptions never leak past it; UI state explicitly models loading / success / error (see
android-skills:android-data-layer).
Skill routing
Load the specific skill for the task, always with the fully-qualified android-skills: prefix — never the short name (compose, koin, …).

Compose detail — stability, remember, modifiers, side effects, lists, animation, navigation |
android-skills:compose |
| M3 UX — touch targets, adaptive/foldable layouts, accessibility & M3-compliance audit | android-skills:android-ux |
Coroutines & Flow — operators, Channel vs SharedFlow, structured concurrency |
android-skills:kotlin-coroutines, android-skills:kotlin-flows |
| Repository / data layer + error model | android-skills:android-data-layer |

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.

android-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository rcosteira79/android-skills (136 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 217 tokens to every session and 2,847 once invoked, about $0.0011 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 2026-08-30.
