What it does

Kotlin UI Swing Component Architecture is an agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Design IntelliJ Swing UI components, state flow, and EDT work.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k 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-swing-component-architecture”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the local module instructions and inspect the whole feature boundary, including callers, services, listeners, asynchronous work, and…
  2. Map ownership of rendering, user intent, UI state, application logic, asynchronous work, navigation, and lifecycle.
  3. Choose the lowest architecture level that makes those responsibilities clear.
  4. Keep Swing in the View, coordinate behavior in the Controller when one is needed, and keep application services independent of Swing.
  5. Make data flow one-way where state or workflows are non-trivial
  6. Verify EDT safety, cancellation, disposal, state transitions, and the minimal public API.
  7. Apply the UI accessibility skill when creating, changing, or reviewing the UI itself.

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

    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

Kotlin UI Swing Component Architecture loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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 2,191 words (~4,272 tokens).

“Design Swing UI as isolated feature components with unidirectional data flow, explicit state, and clear EDT and lifecycle ownership. Introduce the smallest architecture that cleanly separates responsibilities; do not enforce MVC, MVP, MVVM, or MVI by name.”
