Kotlin Multiplatform Library Finder

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Finding the latest stable version of a KMP library
• Choosing between KMP libraries for networking, storage or logging
• Checking that a dependency supports iOS, Android and JVM targets
• Upgrading KMP dependencies with verified coordinates

Example prompts

• “Give me the Gradle coordinates and latest stable version of a KMP networking library.”
• “Which KMP libraries for local storage support both iOS and Wasm?”
• “Audit my shared module's dependencies and tell me which have newer stable releases.”

Requirements

• Access to the klibs.io MCP server or its package pages

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Treat klibs.io as the source of truth for versions and KMP support.
2. 2Recommend the newest stable release unless the user explicitly wants prereleases (alpha, beta, rc, eap, etc.).
3. 3Prefer exact coordinates from MCP or klibs.io/package/… pages over guesses from README snippets.
4. 4If only a project page is available, use it to identify the project, then locate the package page for coordinates.
5. 5If a library is not on klibs.io, say so — do not present an unverified version as fact.
6. 6When the user asks for "latest", include the version number and release date if available.
7. 7When comparing libraries, compare only those klibs.io shows as KMP-capable for the required targets.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba97363. 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 json).

  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:

  • klibs.io
  • api.klibs.io

  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

Kotlin Multiplatform Library Finder loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~124

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

~1.1k

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.

description

Use when the user asks to discover, compare, upgrade, audit, or add Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) libraries; needs latest/stable Maven or Gradle coordinates; or needs verified KMP target/platform support. Query klibs.io or its MCP server before answering when version or target accuracy matters. Do not use for general Kotlin language help, KMP project setup, Gradle troubleshooting, or Android-only dependency questions unless KMP library metadata is needed.
