At a glance

Guidance on implementing the Data Layer using Repository pattern, Room (Local), and Retrofit (Remote) with offline-first synchronization.

  • Works in 5 steps: Repository Pattern → Local Persistence (Room) → Remote Data (Retrofit) → …
  • Tasks that involve Design patterns
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Android Data Layer is an agent skill from Moustachauve/WLED-Android. Guidance on implementing the Data Layer using Repository pattern, Room (Local), and Retrofit (Remote) with offline-first synchronization.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 Development, covering Design patterns. It works with Android. The repository describes itself as: Native Android application for WLED. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design patterns

Example prompts

  • “/android-data-layer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Repository Pattern
  2. Local Persistence (Room)
  3. Remote Data (Retrofit)
  4. Synchronization
  5. Dependency Injection

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e164a8. 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 Data Layer loads about 467 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~467

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.

Android Data Layer & Offline-First

Instructions

The Data Layer coordinates data from multiple sources.

1. Repository Pattern
  • Role: Single Source of Truth (SSOT).
  • Logic: The repository decides whether to return cached data or fetch fresh data.
  • Implementation:
    kotlin
    class NewsRepository @Inject constructor(
    private val newsDao: NewsDao,
    private val newsApi: NewsApi
) {
    // Expose data from Local DB as the source of truth
    val newsStream: Flow<List<News>> = newsDao.getAllNews()

    // Sync operation
    suspend fun refreshNews() {
        val remoteNews = newsApi.fetchLatest()
        newsDao.insertAll(remoteNews)
    }
}
2. Local Persistence (Room)
  • Usage: Primary cache and offline storage.
  • Entities: Define @Entity data classes.
  • DAOs: Return Flow<T> for observable data.
3. Remote Data (Retrofit)
  • Usage: Fetching data from backend.
  • Response: Use suspend functions in interfaces.
  • Error Handling: Wrap network calls in try-catch blocks or a Result wrapper to handle exceptions (NoInternet, 404, etc.) gracefully.
4. Synchronization
  • Read: "Stale-While-Revalidate". Show local data immediately, trigger a background refresh.
  • Write: "Outbox Pattern" (Advanced). Save local change immediately, mark as "unsynced", use WorkManager to push changes to server.
5. Dependency Injection
  • Bind Repository interfaces to implementations in a Hilt Module.
    kotlin
    @Binds
abstract fun bindNewsRepository(impl: OfflineFirstNewsRepository): NewsRepository
