Cometchat Android V6 Push

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Mobile work in your project

Example prompts

• “add push notifications android cometchat”
• “fcm cometchat android”
• “notifications not arriving android”
• “/cometchat-android-v6-push”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Android minSdk >=28; compileSdk >=36; Kotlin >=2.1; AGP >=8.9.1; JVM target 11; com.cometchat:chatuikit-kotlin-android ^6 OR com.cometchat:chatuikit-compose-android ^6 (6.0.x); com.cometchat:chat-sdk-android ^5; Firebase BoM (firebase-messaging)

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Firebase + Dashboard — create/choose the Firebase project, add the Android app, download google-services.json into app/. In the CometChat…
2. 2Gradle — Google services plugin + com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging (via the Firebase BoM) alongside your kit + chat-sdk-android…
3. 3Manifest + service — the POST_NOTIFICATIONS runtime permission (Android 13+), your FirebaseMessagingService subclass registered in the…
4. 4Register the token AFTER login succeeds — never before; the token binds to the logged-in user
5. 5Re-register on token refresh — the same call inside your service's onNewToken(token). Without this, pushes stop silently after Firebase…
6. 6Unregister on logout — BEFORE CometChatUIKit.logout()
7. 7Handle the payload — message pushes (§9), call pushes via ConnectionService (§10), custom text/parsing (§11), tap-to-open navigation…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 911b108. 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).

  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.

• Compatibility

  Android minSdk >=28; compileSdk >=36; Kotlin >=2.1; AGP >=8.9.1; JVM target 11; com.cometchat:chatuikit-kotlin-android ^6 OR com.cometchat:chatuikit-compose-android ^6 (6.0.x); com.cometchat:chat-sdk-android ^5; Firebase BoM (firebase-messaging)

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cometchat Android V6 Push loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 575 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~123

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

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

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.
