Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy --skill android-kotlin- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads android-kotlin automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Kotlin Coroutines & Flow
ViewModel with StateFlow
@HiltViewModel
class UserViewModel @Inject constructor(
private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase,
private val savedStateHandle: SavedStateHandle
) : ViewModel() {
private val _uiState = MutableStateFlow(UserUiState())
val uiState: StateFlow<UserUiState> = _uiState.asStateFlow()
private val userId: String = checkNotNull(savedStateHandle["userId"])
init {
loadUser()
}
fun loadUser() {
viewModelScope.launch {
_uiState.update { it.copy(isLoading = true) }
getUserUseCase(userId)
.catch { e ->
_uiState.update {
it.copy(isLoading = false, error = e.message)
}
}
.collect { user ->
_uiState.update {
it.copy(isLoading = false, user = user, error = null)
}
}
}
}
fun clearError() {
_uiState.update { it.copy(error = null) }
}
}
data class UserUiState(
val user: User? = null,
val isLoading: Boolean = false,
val error: String? = null
)
Repository with Flow
interface UserRepository {
fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User>
fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>>
suspend fun saveUser(user: User)
}
class UserRepositoryImpl @Inject constructor(
private val api: UserApi,
private val dao: UserDao,
private val dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO
) : UserRepository {
override fun getUser(userId: String): Flow<User> = flow {
// Emit cached data first
dao.getUserById(userId)?.let { emit(it) }
// Fetch from network and update cache
val remoteUser = api.getUser(userId)
dao.insert(remoteUser)
emit(remoteUser)
}.flowOn(dispatcher)
override fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>> =
dao.observeAllUsers().flowOn(dispatcher)
override suspend fun saveUser(user: User) = withContext(dispatcher) {
api.saveUser(user)
dao.insert(user)
}
}
Jetpack Compose
Screen with ViewModel
@Composable
fun UserScreen(
viewModel: UserViewModel = hiltViewModel(),
onNavigateBack: () -> Unit
) {
val uiState by viewModel.uiState.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
UserScreenContent(
uiState = uiState,
onRefresh = viewModel::loadUser,
onErrorDismiss = viewModel::clearError,
onNavigateBack = onNavigateBack
)
}
@Composable
private fun UserScreenContent(
uiState: UserUiState,
onRefresh: () -> Unit,
onErrorDismiss: () -> Unit,
onNavigateBack: () -> Unit
) {
Scaffold(
topBar = {
TopAppBar(
title = { Text("User Profile") },
navigationIcon = {
IconButton(onClick = onNavigateBack) {
Icon(Icons.AutoMirrored.Filled.ArrowBack, "Back")
}
}
)
}
) { padding ->
Box(
modifier = Modifier
.fillMaxSize()
.padding(padding)
) {
when {
uiState.isLoading -> {
CircularProgressIndicator(
modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.Center)
)
}
uiState.user != null -> {
UserContent(user = uiState.user)
}
}
uiState.error?.let { error ->
Snackbar(
modifier = Modifier.align(Alignment.BottomCenter),
action = {
TextButton(onClick = onErrorDismiss) {
Text("Dismiss")
}
}
) {
Text(error)
}
}
}
}
}
Sealed Classes for State
Result Wrapper
sealed interface Result<out T> {
data class Success<T>(val data: T) : Result<T>
data class Error(val exception: Throwable) : Result<Nothing>
data object Loading : Result<Nothing>
}
fun <T> Result<T>.getOrNull(): T? = (this as? Result.Success)?.data
inline fun <T, R> Result<T>.map(transform: (T) -> R): Result<R> = when (this) {
is Result.Success -> Result.Success(transform(data))
is Result.Error -> this
is Result.Loading -> this
}
Testing with MockK & Turbine
ViewModel Tests
@OptIn(ExperimentalCoroutinesApi::class)
class UserViewModelTest {
@get:Rule
val mainDispatcherRule = MainDispatcherRule()
private val getUserUseCase: GetUserUseCase = mockk()
private val savedStateHandle = SavedStateHandle(mapOf("userId" to "123"))
private lateinit var viewModel: UserViewModel
@Before
fun setup() {
viewModel = UserViewModel(getUserUseCase, savedStateHandle)
}
@Test
fun `loadUser success updates state with user`() = runTest {
val user = User("123", "John Doe", "john@example.com")
coEvery { getUserUseCase("123") } returns flowOf(user)
viewModel.uiState.test {
val initial = awaitItem()
assertFalse(initial.isLoading)
viewModel.loadUser()
val loading = awaitItem()
assertTrue(loading.isLoading)
val success = awaitItem()
assertFalse(success.isLoading)
assertEquals(user, success.user)
}
}
}
class MainDispatcherRule(
private val dispatcher: TestDispatcher = UnconfinedTestDispatcher()
) : TestWatcher() {
override fun starting(description: Description) {
Dispatchers.setMain(dispatcher)
}
override fun finished(description: Description) {
Dispatchers.resetMain()

Kotlin Anti-Patterns
- ❌ Blocking coroutines on Main - Never use
runBlockingon main thread - ❌ GlobalScope usage - Use structured concurrency with viewModelScope/lifecycleScope
- ❌ Collecting flows in init - Use
repeatOnLifecycleorcollectAsStateWithLifecycle - ❌ Mutable state exposure - Expose
StateFlownotMutableStateFlow - ❌ Not handling exceptions in flows - Always use
catchoperator - ❌ Lateinit for nullable - Use
lazyor nullable with? - ❌ Hardcoded dispatchers - Inject dispatchers for testability
- ❌ Not using sealed classes - Prefer sealed for finite state sets
- ❌ Side effects in Composables - Use
LaunchedEffect/SideEffect - ❌ Unstable Compose parameters - Use stable/immutable types or
@Stable
FAQ
What does the android-kotlin skill do?
Android Kotlin development with Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, Hilt, and MockK testing
How do I install android-kotlin?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy --skill android-kotlin in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/android-kotlin/ (personal) or .claude/skills/android-kotlin/ (project).
Which AI agents can use android-kotlin?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is android-kotlin safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains android-kotlin?
It is published by alinaqi in alinaqi/maggy. It has 3,299 recorded installs.
