Android Kotlin development with Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, Hilt, and MockK testing

  • Tasks that involve Android development
  • SKILL.md covers Project Structure, Gradle Configuration (Kotlin…, Kotlin Coroutines & Flow and Jetpack Compose, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Android Kotlin is an agent skill from alinaqi/maggy. Android Kotlin development with Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, Hilt, and MockK testing

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Android development. It works with Kotlin, Android and Jetpack Compose. The repository describes itself as: What started as an opinionated Claude Code setup kit is now an autonomous AI engineering command center. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “/android-kotlin”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72a456e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are kotlin and yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Android Kotlin loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Kotlin Coroutines & Flow

ViewModel with StateFlow
kotlin
@HiltViewModel
class UserViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase,
    private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle
) : ViewModel() {

    private val _uiState = MutableStateFlow(UserUiState())
    val uiState: StateFlow<UserUiState> = _uiState.asStateFlow()

    private val userId: String = checkNotNull(savedStateHandle["userId"])

    init {
        loadUser()
    }

    fun loadUser() {
        viewModelScope.launch {

            getUserUseCase(userId)
                .catch { e ->
                    _uiState.update {
                        it.copy(isLoading = false, error = e.message)
                    }
                }
                .collect { user ->

                    }
                }
        }
    }

    fun clearError() {

    }
}

data class UserUiState(
    val user: User? = null,
    val isLoading: Boolean = false,
    val error: String? = null
)
Repository with Flow
kotlin
interface UserRepository {
    fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User>
    fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>>
    suspend fun saveUser(user: User)
}

class UserRepositoryImpl @Inject constructor(
    private val api: UserApi,
    private val dao: UserDao,
    private val dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO
) : UserRepository {

    override fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User> = flow {
        // Emit cached data first
        dao.getUserById(userId)?.let { emit(it) }

        // Fetch from network and update cache
        val remoteUser = api.getUser(userId)
        dao.insert(remoteUser)
        emit(remoteUser)
    }.flowOn(dispatcher)

    override fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>> =
        dao.observeAllUsers().flowOn(dispatcher)

    override suspend fun saveUser(user: User) = withContext(dispatcher) {
        api.saveUser(user)
        dao.insert(user)

Jetpack Compose

Screen with ViewModel
kotlin
@Composable
fun UserScreen(
    viewModel: UserViewModel = hiltViewModel(),
    onNavigateBack: () -> Unit
) {
    val uiState by viewModel.uiState.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()

    UserScreenContent(

        onRefresh = viewModel::loadUser,
        onErrorDismiss = viewModel::clearError,
        onNavigateBack = onNavigateBack
    )
}

@Composable
private fun UserScreenContent(

                navigationIcon = {
                    IconButton(onClick = onNavigateBack) {
                        Icon(Icons.AutoMirrored.Filled.ArrowBack, "Back")
                    }
                }
            )
        }
    ) { padding ->
        Box(
            modifier = Modifier
                .fillMaxSize()
                .padding(padding)
        ) {
            when {
                uiState.isLoading -> {
                    CircularProgressIndicator(
                        modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.Center)
                    )
                }
                uiState.user != null -> {
                    UserContent(user = uiState.user)

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Sealed Classes for State

Result Wrapper
kotlin
sealed interface Result<out T> {
    data class Success<T>(val data: T) : Result<T>
    data class Error(val exception: Throwable) : Result<Nothing>
    data object Loading : Result<Nothing>
}

fun <T> Result<T>.getOrNull(): T? = (this as? Result.Success)?.data

inline fun <T, R> Result<T>.map(transform: (T) -> R): Result<R> = when (this) {
    is Result.Success -> Result.Success(transform(data))
    is Result.Error -> this
    is Result.Loading -> this
}

Testing with MockK & Turbine

ViewModel Tests
kotlin
@OptIn(ExperimentalCoroutinesApi::class)
class UserViewModelTest {

    @get:Rule
    val mainDispatcherRule = MainDispatcherRule()

    private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase = mockk()
    private val savedStateHandle = SavedStateHandle(mapOf("userId" to "123"))

    private lateinit var viewModel: UserViewModel

    @Before
    fun setup() {
        viewModel = UserViewModel(getUserUseCase, savedStateHandle)
    }

    @Test
    fun `loadUser success updates state with user`() = runTest {
        val user = User("123", "John Doe", "john@example.com")
        coEvery { getUserUseCase("123") } returns flowOf(user)

        viewModel.uiState.test {
            val initial = awaitItem()
            assertFalse(initial.isLoading)

            viewModel.loadUser()

            val loading = awaitItem()
            assertTrue(loading.isLoading)

            val success = awaitItem()
            assertFalse(success.isLoading)
            assertEquals(user, success.user)
        }
    }
}

class MainDispatcherRule(
    private val dispatcher: TestDispatcher = UnconfinedTestDispatcher()
) : TestWatcher() {
    override fun starting(description: Description) {
        Dispatchers.setMain(dispatcher)
    }
    override fun finished(description: Description) {
        Dispatchers.resetMain()

Kotlin Anti-Patterns

  • ❌ Blocking coroutines on Main - Never use runBlocking on main thread
  • ❌ GlobalScope usage - Use structured concurrency with viewModelScope/lifecycleScope
  • ❌ Collecting flows in init - Use repeatOnLifecycle or collectAsStateWithLifecycle
  • ❌ Mutable state exposure - Expose StateFlow not MutableStateFlow
  • ❌ Not handling exceptions in flows - Always use catch operator
  • ❌ Lateinit for nullable - Use lazy or nullable with ?
  • ❌ Hardcoded dispatchers - Inject dispatchers for testability
  • ❌ Not using sealed classes - Prefer sealed for finite state sets
  • ❌ Side effects in Composables - Use LaunchedEffect/SideEffect
  • ❌ Unstable Compose parameters - Use stable/immutable types or @Stable

Questions about Android Kotlin

What does Android Kotlin do?

Android Kotlin development with Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, Hilt, and MockK testing. Android Kotlin is an agent skill from alinaqi/maggy.

When should I use Android Kotlin?

Android Kotlin fits situations like: tasks that involve Android development.

How do I install Android Kotlin in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill android-kotlin -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/android-kotlin in alinaqi/maggy) into .claude/skills/android-kotlin in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Android Kotlin in Codex?

Run `npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill android-kotlin -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/android-kotlin in alinaqi/maggy) into .agents/skills/android-kotlin in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Android Kotlin in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alinaqi/maggy --skill android-kotlin -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/android-kotlin, .gemini/skills/android-kotlin, .github/skills/android-kotlin and .opencode/skills/android-kotlin in your project.

What does Android Kotlin need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Android Kotlin is instructions for the agent only.

Does Android Kotlin access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Android Kotlin safe to install?
