At a glance

Write IntelliJ dialogs and settings with Kotlin UI DSL v2 panels.

  • Tasks that involve Android development
  • SKILL.md covers Sources and live examples, Core model, Rows, labels, and row layout and Components (Row factories), plus 8 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Kotlin UI Dsl is an agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Write IntelliJ dialogs and settings with Kotlin UI DSL v2 panels.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k 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 and JetBrains IDEs. The repository describes itself as: IntelliJ IDEA & IntelliJ Platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “/kotlin-ui-dsl”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 27dbc78. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • plugins.jetbrains.com

    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 UI Dsl loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,222 words (~3,741 tokens).

“Use Kotlin UI DSL (com.intellij.ui.dsl.builder, "version 2") for new IntelliJ forms: dialogs, settings pages, and form-like tool-window content. panel { } returns a DialogPanel with layout, data binding, and validation wired together.”
