What it does

Kmp Starter Core Rules is an agent skill from DevAtrii/Kmp-Starter-Template. Non-negotiable rules for building on the KMP Starter Template — priority order, Golden Rule, terminology, state vs UI-state boundaries, visibility, demo removal, snackbars, and UI weight. Read before writing any code.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Development, covering Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: Starter template is a multi-module KMP boilerplate for Android & iOS with clean architecture and high-quality code. It handles basics like remote config, in-app purchases, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding

Example prompts

  • “/kmp-starter-core-rules”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Starter Template documentation (live site https://starter.atherio.dev)
  2. Existing project structure
  3. Existing feature implementations
  4. Existing core modules (features/core/*)
  5. General KMP / Compose best practices
  6. General Android best practices

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8f7b27. 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.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • starter.atherio.dev

    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

Kmp Starter Core Rules loads about 574 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~574

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.

Core Rules

Priority order (Starter always wins)

  1. Starter Template documentation (live site https://starter.atherio.dev)
  2. Existing project structure
  3. Existing feature implementations
  4. Existing core modules (features/core/*)
  5. General KMP / Compose best practices
  6. General Android best practices

When these conflict, the higher item wins. Prefer consistency over creativity.

Golden Rule

Before creating any new utility, helper, manager, abstraction, base class, datastore, file manager, navigation system, platform API, wrapper, or common component — search the Starter Template first. Reuse → extend → configure. Never duplicate.

Terminology (Starter wins over other frameworks)

Other frameworks call itRename to
IntentAction
EffectEvent
MutationAction
UseCaseLogic

Use Action for UI → ViewModel, Event for ViewModel → UI, Logic for use cases. Keep this naming everywhere.

State guidelines

State holds application data, not transient UI state.

Store in State: user, files, notes, selected image bytes, loading, filters, repository data, search query, pagination.

Never store in State: dialog visibility, snackbar visibility, bottom-sheet visibility, dropdown expanded state, animation states, focus states. These live inside Composables.

Visibility

Mark anything not required outside a module internal. Only expose the public API other modules need.

Snackbars

Do not show a snackbar for every successful action. If the UI already communicates the result, skip it. Snackbars are for errors, important feedback, and undo actions.

UI weight

Keep Composables lightweight — render state, send actions, observe events. Heavy work belongs in ViewModels or Logics.

Remove demo content (only)

Remove Starter demo content: Welcome Screen, Starter File Manager demo, sample placeholder screens, unused demo resources. Keep the infrastructure; remove only demo content.
