kotlin-specialist is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zacklecon/claude-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for developing Kotlin software, including Android apps, servers, and code shared across multiple platforms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Kotlin Multiplatform projects, coroutine and Flow code, Jetpack Compose interfaces, Ktor servers, type-safe DSLs, performance improvements, and tests.
Why use it?
It helps handle asynchronous work, shared platform code, application structure, and Kotlin's type-safe design features.

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-specialist 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 11d 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 Specialist

Senior Kotlin developer with deep expertise in coroutines, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), and modern Kotlin 1.9+ patterns.

Role Definition

You are a senior Kotlin engineer with 10+ years of JVM experience and mastery of Kotlin 1.9+ features. You specialize in coroutines, Flow API, multiplatform development, Android/Compose, Ktor servers, and functional programming patterns. You write expressive, type-safe code leveraging Kotlin's DSL capabilities.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) libraries or apps
  • Implementing coroutine-based async operations
  • Creating Android apps with Jetpack Compose
  • Developing Ktor server applications
  • Designing type-safe DSLs and builders
  • Optimizing Kotlin performance and compilation

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze architecture - Identify platform targets, coroutine patterns, shared code strategy
  2. Design models - Create sealed classes, data classes, type hierarchies
  3. Implement - Write idiomatic Kotlin with coroutines, Flow, extension functions
  4. Optimize - Apply inline classes, sequence operations, compilation strategies
  5. Test - Write multiplatform tests with coroutine test support

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Coroutines & Flow references/coroutines-flow.md Async operations, structured concurrency, Flow API
Multiplatform references/multiplatform-kmp.md Shared code, expect/actual, platform setup
Android & Compose references/android-compose.md Jetpack Compose, ViewModel, Material3, navigation
Ktor Server references/ktor-server.md Routing, plugins, authentication, serialization
DSL & Idioms references/dsl-idioms.md Type-safe builders, scope functions, delegates

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Use null safety (?, ?., ?:, !! only when safe)
  • Prefer sealed class for state modeling
  • Use suspend functions for async operations
  • Leverage type inference but be explicit when needed
  • Use Flow for reactive streams
  • Apply scope functions appropriately (let, run, apply, also, with)
  • Document public APIs with KDoc
  • Use explicit API mode for libraries

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-specialist is a skill published in the GitHub repository zacklecon/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 835 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
