What it does

Android Compose Migration is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Migrate an Android XML View to Jetpack Compose following a structured 10-step workflow. Use when converting XML layouts to Compose, setting up Compose in an existing View-based project, or incrementally adopting Compose.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/dependency-setup.md` and `references/interop-patterns.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Android development. It works with Android and Jetpack Compose. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Converting XML layouts to Compose
  • Setting up Compose in an existing View-based project
  • Incrementally adopting Compose

Example prompts

  • “/android-compose-migration”

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the migration candidate
  2. Analyze the layout
  3. Create a plan
  4. Capture baseline UI
  5. Set up Compose dependencies
  6. Set up Compose theming
  7. Migrate the XML layout
  8. Replace usages
  9. Validate
  10. Clean up

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

    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 Compose Migration loads about 767 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~767
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

XML to Jetpack Compose Migration

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Structured 10-step workflow for migrating XML layouts to Compose.

Step 1: Identify the migration candidate

If the user specified a target XML layout, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, pick the best candidate:

  • Prefer leaf layouts (not deeply nested in other XMLs).
  • Prefer layouts with few custom Views.
  • Avoid layouts with complex RecyclerView adapters as a first migration.

Step 2: Analyze the layout

Examine the XML structure: list all Views, data bindings, click listeners, style references, and custom Views needing AndroidView wrappers.

Step 3: Create a plan

Generate a checklist of every View → Composable mapping. Present to user for approval.

Step 4: Capture baseline UI

Ask the user for a screenshot, or take one via emulator for visual comparison.

Step 5: Set up Compose dependencies

Check build.gradle.kts or libs.versions.toml for Compose BOM and compiler. If missing, add them. See dependency setup.

Step 6: Set up Compose theming

If missing, initialize minimum required theme — map XML colors/styles to Compose. Do NOT migrate the entire theme.

Step 7: Migrate the XML layout

Convert each View to its Compose equivalent. See interop patterns for the View→Composable mapping table, ComposeView, and AndroidView usage. Include a @Preview for every new Composable. Use LazyColumn or LazyRow for list-heavy screens instead of flattening them into one large static composable.

Step 8: Replace usages

Use ComposeView to host Compose in Views, or AndroidView for Views in Compose. See interop patterns.

Step 9: Validate

Compare baseline screenshot with Compose Preview. Focus on layout and styling. Iterate until visual parity.

Step 10: Clean up

Delete the migrated XML file and legacy tests. Only remove code not referenced elsewhere.

Verification

  • Compose Preview renders correctly.
  • Visual parity with original XML layout.
  • ./gradlew build succeeds.
  • No broken references to deleted XML files.

Anti-Patterns

  • No full theme migration: Only migrate what the target layout needs.
  • No new View instances in AndroidView update: Mutate existing, don't recreate.
  • No missing ViewCompositionStrategy: Always set it on ComposeView to avoid leaks.
