Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/alinaqi/maggy --skill android-kotlin
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads android-kotlin automatically when relevant.

  3. 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 runBlocking on main thread
  • ❌ GlobalScope usage - Use structured concurrency with viewModelScope/lifecycleScope
  • ❌ Collecting flows in init - Use repeatOnLifecycle or collectAsStateWithLifecycle
  • ❌ Mutable state exposure - Expose StateFlow not MutableStateFlow
  • ❌ Not handling exceptions in flows - Always use catch operator
  • ❌ Lateinit for nullable - Use lazy or 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

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.
