koin

koin is a skill for Claude Code from rcosteira79/android-skills. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,429 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using Koin, a Kotlin library that supplies objects your Android or Kotlin Multiplatform app needs. It covers dependency setup, Compose screens, navigation, application startup, and checking the setup at compile time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding dependency injection to Android or Kotlin Multiplatform projects, configuring ViewModels, defining scopes, starting Koin, or verifying the dependency graph.
Why use it?
It helps avoid manually creating and passing shared objects throughout an app. It also explains differences between Koin's regular configuration and annotation-based configuration.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

koin 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.

Koin Dependency Injection (Android and KMP)

Pragmatic Kotlin DI. Koin vs Hilt: Koin runs in commonMain (Hilt doesn't) and verifies the graph via verify() instead of codegen; Hilt is Android-only with codegen + deep Jetpack integration (@HiltViewModel / hiltViewModel()). This reference covers the traps and boundaries, not the Classic DSL basics (single / factory / scoped / viewModel { } with get() resolution and runtime params, koinViewModel / koinInject, startKoin { androidLogger(); androidContext(this@MyApp); modules(...) }). Related: android-skills:kmp-ktor, android-skills:android-data-layer. Deps via koin-bom: koin-core, koin-android, koin-androidx-compose, koin-compose-viewmodel (KMP), koin-compose-viewmodel-navigation (Nav 3), koin-test, + optional koin-annotations / koin-ksp-compiler.

KSP Annotations — the generated-module accessor

@Module @ComponentScan discovers annotated classes and emits a module you pass to startKoin as UserModule().module — the generated .module extension on the annotated class is the part most often missed. Pick one style per module (don't mix Classic DSL + annotations inside a single module; switching between modules is fine).

@Single class UserRepositoryImpl(private val service: UserService) : UserRepository
@Factory class UserFormValidator
@KoinViewModel class UserDetailViewModel(
    @InjectedParam private val userId: String,
    private val repository: UserRepository,
) : ViewModel()
@Module @ComponentScan("com.example.feature.user") class UserModule
// startKoin { modules(UserModule().module) }

KMP source-set layout

Most bindings live in commonMain; platform-typed ones (HTTP engine, Context, Keychain) go behind expect val platformModule: Module with an actual per platform (mirrors android-skills:kmp-ktor's engine pattern). iOS startup: call InitKoinKt.doInitKoin(config: nil) from iOSApp.init() — Swift reserves init, hence the do prefix.

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.
