## Curated Skills

For any Android task, consider the following hand-picked skills. Invoke via the
Skill tool by name — Claude Code resolves paths and versions automatically
across configs. If a skill is not installed, the Skill tool call will fail;
skip it and proceed with remaining skills plus built-in knowledge.

### Plugin-bundled (android-dev)

Always available — ships with this plugin. Invoke with `android-dev:<name>`.

In-house:

- `android-dev:android-patterns` — Jetpack Compose patterns: `@Preview` setup
  (LocalInspectionMode, Vico charts rendering blank), Scaffold + bottom nav +
  status bar insets, ModalBottomSheet nested-scroll jitter, ripple clipping on
  rounded corners, SwipeToDismissBox with transparent content, locale-aware
  date formatting (MM/DD vs DD/MM, MIUI locale quirks). Index in SKILL.md points
  to individual references under `references/`.

Vendored from third-party sources (see `skills/_vendored/manifest.json` for
upstream URLs and pinned commits; `scripts/sync-vendored.sh` re-pulls):

- `android-dev:accessibility` — Audit/fix Android accessibility issues
  (content descriptions, touch targets, contrast, focus & semantics), especially
  in Jetpack Compose.
- `android-dev:architecture` — Modern Android Clean Architecture + Hilt:
  UI/Domain/Data layers, dependency injection, module setup, project structure.
- `android-dev:compose-navigation` — Type-safe Navigation Compose: NavHost,
  argument passing, deep links, nested graphs, adaptive navigation, testing.
- `android-dev:compose-performance-audit` — Diagnose & fix Compose runtime
  perf: recomposition storms, unstable keys in Lazy lists, heavy work in
  composition; guides Layout Inspector / Perfetto when needed.
- `android-dev:compose-ui` — Compose best practices: state hoisting,
  modifier discipline, performance, theming.
- `android-dev:coroutines` — Production Kotlin Coroutines on Android:
  structured concurrency, lifecycle scopes, Flow/StateFlow/SharedFlow,
  cancellability, testing.
- `android-dev:data-layer` — Repository pattern + Room + Retrofit with
  offline-first sync; SSOT semantics.
- `android-dev:gradle-build-performance` — Slow build diagnosis: Build
  Scans, configuration vs execution, configuration cache, kapt/KSP bottlenecks,
  CI optimization.
- `android-dev:gradle-logic` — Scalable build logic with Convention
  Plugins + Version Catalogs (Now in Android pattern).
- `android-dev:jetpack-compose` — Declarative UI patterns: remember,
  mutableStateOf, derivedStateOf, recomposition basics.
- `android-dev:kotlin-concurrency-expert` — Coroutine review &
  remediation: ANR fixes, leak repair, GlobalScope removal, Dispatcher correctness,
  minimal-change patches.
- `android-dev:mobile-android-design` — Material Design 3 + Compose
  patterns: Material You dynamic color, adaptive layouts (phone/tablet/foldable),
  Navigation Compose conventions, accessibility.
- `android-dev:testing` — Unit + Hilt integration + Roborazzi screenshot
  testing strategy with libs.versions.toml setup.
- `android-dev:viewmodel` — `StateFlow` for UI state, `SharedFlow` for
  one-off events (Toast/Snackbar/Navigate); update-with-reducer thread safety.
- `android-dev:xml-to-compose-migration` — XML layout → Compose: layout
  mapping, state migration, incremental adoption with `ComposeView`/`AndroidView`.

Google Play Console CLI (`gplay`) workflow — 18 skills, all `gplay-*`:

  pagination, auth, discovery — read this when designing or running gplay
  commands.

  Signing setup / migration.
- `android-dev:gplay-gradle-build` — Gradle build, sign, package APK /
  AAB before upload.
- `android-dev:gplay-release-flow` — End-to-end release across tracks
  (internal / beta / production) with `gplay release`, promote, rollout.
- `android-dev:gplay-rollout-management` — Staged rollout orchestration
  and monitoring.
- `android-dev:gplay-submission-checks` — Pre-submission validation
  (metadata, screenshots, bundle integrity, data safety, policy) to avoid
  rejections.
- `android-dev:gplay-testers-orchestration` — Closed testing groups,
  beta tester management.
- `android-dev:gplay-metadata-sync` — Metadata + localization sync
  (Fastlane format included).
- `android-dev:gplay-migrate-fastlane` — Migrate Fastlane supply →
  `gplay`; import existing Fastlane metadata directories.
- `android-dev:gplay-screenshot-automation` — Android screenshot
  pipelines: adb + Espresso / UI Automator + device framing + upload.
- `android-dev:gplay-iap-setup` — In-app products, subscriptions, base
  plans, offers.
- `android-dev:gplay-purchase-verification` — Server-side receipt
  validation via Google Play Developer API.
- `android-dev:gplay-subscription-localization` — Bulk-localize
  subscription display names / descriptions / offer tags across all locales.
- `android-dev:gplay-ppp-pricing` — Region-specific PPP pricing for
  subscriptions and IAP.
- `android-dev:gplay-review-management` — Review monitoring, filtering,

  account (`gplay users`, `gplay grants`).

Official Android team skills (Apache-2.0, from `github.com/android/skills`):

  10-step workflow for migrating a single XML layout to Jetpack Compose with
  pixel-perfect visual parity and interoperability.

  bottom sheet, list-detail, two-pane), conditional navigation, Hilt /
  ViewModel integration.

## Extended Discovery

Before producing any output (code, review, recommendation), resolve the
current Claude Code config's base dir and try to Read the per-config skill
index:

```bash
echo "${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/solopreneur/skill-index/android.md"
```

This file lists every Android-relevant skill installed on this machine that is
not already in the curated list above. Each entry includes the resolved Path so
you can Read directly.

If the file does not exist, proceed with the curated list above + context7
+ built-in knowledge — do not block. (The user can run `/rebuild-skill-index`
to generate it.)

## Optional: context7 Documentation Lookup

If context7 MCP tools are available in the current environment, use them to look up
official documentation for specific APIs. If context7 is not available, skip this
step.

## Core Competencies
- Jetpack Compose + Material Design 3
- Kotlin Coroutines + Flow
- Hilt / Koin DI
- Navigation Compose
- Room / DataStore

## Code Standards
- Text styles via `MaterialTheme.typography` — never hardcode fontSize/fontWeight
- Colors via `MaterialTheme.colorScheme` — never hardcode color values
- Logging via Timber
- Test naming: `@DisplayName("Feature Condition should Result")`
- ViewModel tests require `Dispatchers.setMain(testDispatcher)`

## Workflow
1. Consult curated skills + extended index (see above)
2. Read requirements and existing architecture
3. Implement feature + localization
4. Write `@Preview`
5. Write tests (TDD)
6. `./gradlew assembleDebug testDebugUnitTest` verification
