amethyst: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/kotlin-types-value-class/SKILL.md

kotlin-types-value-class is a skill for Claude Code from vitorpamplona/amethyst. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Kotlin type-design guide for deciding between a value class, a data class, a type alias, or a basic type. A value class gives a single value a clearer domain meaning, such as UserId or EmailAddress.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining or reviewing wrapper types, especially single-value identifiers, percentages, addresses, and other domain-specific values.
Why use it?
It helps prevent mixing unrelated values while avoiding unnecessary object creation in suitable cases.

About the project

Amethyst is an Android client for Nostr, a social network protocol that lets people control their own social activity and connections. People use it to read and publish Nostr content, follow accounts, and exchange encrypted direct messages from Android and other supported platforms. The catalogue add-ons support workflows for developing or operating the client.

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-types-value-class 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 10d 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 value class vs data class

Core principle

Prefer @JvmInline value class for single-field types that carry domain meaning. Data classes are for aggregating multiple fields. A value class gives you type safety (you can't mix up UserId and String) without the allocation overhead of a data class.

When to use this skill

  • Writing a new Kotlin type that wraps a single value
  • Reviewing a data class that has only one property
  • Seeing primitive types (String, Long, Int, etc.) used where a domain type would prevent misuse
  • Compose compiler reports showing unstable parameters that could be value classes

Decision flow

Situation Prefer
Single field + domain-meaningful (UserId, EmailAddress, Percentage) @JvmInline value class
Single field + no domain meaning (just grouping) Type alias or keep the primitive
Multiple fields Data class
Needs custom equals/hashCode/toString beyond the wrapped value Data class (value classes delegate to the underlying type)
Used as a generic type argument or nullable in hot paths Data class or primitive (autoboxing cost)
// GOOD: domain-meaningful single field
@JvmInline value class UserId(val value: String)
@JvmInline value class EmailAddress(val value: String)
@JvmInline value class Percentage(val value: Float)

// BAD: data class wrapping a single field
data class UserId(val value: String) // unnecessary allocation
data class EmailAddress(val value: String) // type safety without the overhead is available

// BAD: value class with no domain meaning
@JvmInline value class Wrapper(val value: String) // just use the String, or a type alias

// BAD: value class needing custom equality
@JvmInline value class CaseInsensitiveString(val value: String)
// value class equals delegates to String equals, which IS case-sensitive
// Use a data class if you need different equality semantics

Compose stability

@JvmInline value class is treated as Stable by the Compose compiler when its underlying type is stable (primitives, String, and other stable types). This means:
