Design, implement, and review Kotlin and Android APIs. An agent skill from margelo/react-native-skills.

  • Works in 5 steps: Read the local Kotlin code, generated… → Model valid states with Kotlin types… → Choose whether work is synchronous,… → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Kotlin is an agent skill from margelo/react-native-skills. Design, implement, and review Kotlin and Android APIs. Use when working on .kt files, Kotlin nullability, sealed classes/interfaces, coroutines, Android threading, Java interop, or Kotlin-backed React Native Nitro Module implementations.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Android development and Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Kotlin, Android, React Native and Java. The repository describes itself as: The best react-native Agent Skills. Forget 10x, this is 100x.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on .kt files
  • Kotlin nullability
  • Sealed classes/interfaces
  • Android threading

Example prompts

  • “/kotlin”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the local Kotlin code, generated abstract classes, and public API shape before editing.
  2. Model valid states with Kotlin types before implementing behavior.
  3. Choose whether work is synchronous, coroutine-based, or explicitly dispatched.
  4. Keep properties cheap and nonblocking.
  5. Make thread hops, Android service access, I/O, and fallible work visible in the API.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e9e17b. 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 loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,459 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,459 words (~3,008 tokens).

“Use this skill for Kotlin code that needs strong type modeling, explicit async boundaries, and idiomatic Android integration. When the code is part of a Nitro Module, pair this with build-nitro-modules for generated specs, Promise mapping, annotations, and HybridObject constraints.”

When should I use Kotlin?

Kotlin fits situations like: working on .kt files; kotlin nullability; sealed classes/interfaces; android threading.

How do I install Kotlin in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add margelo/react-native-skills --skill kotlin -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/kotlin in margelo/react-native-skills) into .claude/skills/kotlin in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Kotlin in Codex?

Run `npx skills add margelo/react-native-skills --skill kotlin -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/kotlin in margelo/react-native-skills) into .agents/skills/kotlin in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Kotlin in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add margelo/react-native-skills --skill kotlin -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/kotlin, .gemini/skills/kotlin, .github/skills/kotlin and .opencode/skills/kotlin in your project.

What does Kotlin need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Kotlin is instructions for the agent only.

Does Kotlin access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Kotlin safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Kotlin use?

No licence was found for Kotlin or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Kotlin use?

About 3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Kotlin?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Kotlin: Android Audio E2E (hyochan/react-native-nitro-sound, 961 stars), Claude Android Ninja (Drjacky/claude-android-ninja, 124 stars), Expo Brownfield Integration (mweinbach/agent-coworker, 156 stars) and Simulator Audio E2E (hyochan/react-native-nitro-sound, 961 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
