HarmonyOS Application Development
Core Principles
- ArkTS First — Use ArkTS with strict type safety, no
anyor dynamic types - Declarative UI — Build UI with ArkUI's declarative components and state management
- Stage Model — Use modern Stage model (UIAbility), not legacy FA model
- Distributed by Design — Leverage cross-device capabilities from the start
- Atomic Services — Consider atomic services and cards for lightweight experiences
- One-time Development — Design for multi-device adaptation (phone, tablet, watch, TV)
Hard Rules (Must Follow)
These rules are mandatory. Violating them means the skill is not working correctly.
No Dynamic Types
ArkTS prohibits dynamic typing. Never use any, type assertions, or dynamic property access.
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: Dynamic types
let data: any = fetchData();
let obj: object = {};
obj['dynamicKey'] = value; // Dynamic property access
(someVar as SomeType).method(); // Type assertion
// ✅ REQUIRED: Strict typing
interface UserData {
id: string;
name: string;
}
let data: UserData = fetchData();
// Use Record for dynamic keys
let obj: Record<string, string> = {};
obj['key'] = value; // OK with Record type
No Direct State Mutation
Never mutate @State/@Prop variables directly in nested objects. Use immutable updates.
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: Direct mutation
@State user: User = { name: 'John', age: 25 };
updateAge() {
this.user.age = 26; // UI won't update!
}
// ✅ REQUIRED: Immutable update
updateAge() {
this.user = { ...this.user, age: 26 }; // Creates new object, triggers UI update
}
// For arrays
@State items: string[] = ['a', 'b'];
// ❌ FORBIDDEN
this.items.push('c'); // UI won't update
// ✅ REQUIRED
this.items = [...this.items, 'c'];
Stage Model Only
Always use Stage model (UIAbility). Never use deprecated FA model (PageAbility).
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: FA Model (deprecated)
// config.json with "pages" array
export default {
onCreate() { ... } // PageAbility lifecycle
}
// ✅ REQUIRED: Stage Model
// module.json5 with abilities configuration
import { UIAbility } from '@kit.AbilityKit';
export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility {
onCreate(want: Want, launchParam: AbilityConstant.LaunchParam): void {
// Modern Stage model lifecycle
}
onWindowStageCreate(windowStage: window.WindowStage): void {
windowStage.loadContent('pages/Index');
}
}
Component Reusability
Extract reusable UI into @Component. No inline complex UI in build() methods.
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: Monolithic build method
@Entry
@Component
struct MainPage {
build() {
Column() {
// 200+ lines of inline UI...
Row() {
Image($r('app.media.avatar'))
Column() {
Text(this.user.name)
Text(this.user.email)
}
}
// More inline UI...
}
}
}
// ✅ REQUIRED: Extract components
@Component
struct UserCard {
@Prop user: User;
build() {
Row() {
Image($r('app.media.avatar'))
Column() {
Text(this.user.name)
Text(this.user.email)
}
}
}
}
@Entry
@Component
struct MainPage {
@State user: User = { name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' };
build() {
Column() {
UserCard({ user: this.user })
}
}
}
Quick Reference
When to Use What
| Scenario | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Component-local state | @State | Counter, form inputs |
| Parent-to-child data | @Prop | Read-only child data |
| Two-way binding | @Link | Shared mutable state |
| Cross-component state | @Provide/@Consume | Theme, user context |
| Persistent state | PersistentStorage | User preferences |
| App-wide state | AppStorage | Global state |
| Complex state logic | @Observed/@ObjectLink | Nested object updates |
State Decorator Selection
@State → Component owns the state, triggers re-render on change
@Prop → Parent passes value, child gets copy (one-way)
@Link → Parent passes reference, child can modify (two-way)
@Provide → Ancestor provides value to all descendants
@Consume → Descendant consumes value from ancestor
@StorageLink → Syncs with AppStorage, two-way binding
@StorageProp → Syncs with AppStorage, one-way binding
@Observed → Class decorator for observable objects
@ObjectLink → Links to @Observed object in parent

ArkUI Component Patterns
Basic Component Structure
import { router } from '@kit.ArkUI';
@Component
export struct ProductCard {
// Props from parent
@Prop product: Product;
@Prop onAddToCart: (product: Product) => void;
// Local state
@State isExpanded: boolean = false;
// Computed values (use getters)
get formattedPrice(): string {
return `¥${this.product.price.toFixed(2)}`;
}
// Lifecycle
aboutToAppear(): void {
console.info('ProductCard appearing');
}
aboutToDisappear(): void {
console.info('ProductCard disappearing');
}
// Event handlers
private handleTap(): void {
router.pushUrl({ url: 'pages/ProductDetail', params: { id: this.product.id } });
}
private handleAddToCart(): void {
this.onAddToCart(this.product);
}
// UI builder
build() {
Column() {
Image(this.product.imageUrl)
.width('100%')
.aspectRatio(1)
.objectFit(ImageFit.Cover)
Text(this.product.name)
.fontSize(16)
.fontWeight(FontWeight.Medium)
Text(this.formattedPrice)
.fontSize(14)
.fontColor('#FF6B00')
Button('Add to Cart')
.onClick(() => this.handleAddToCart())
}
.padding(12)
.backgroundColor(Color.White)
.borderRadius(8)
.onClick(() => this.handleTap())
}
}
List with LazyForEach
import { BasicDataSource } from '../utils/BasicDataSource';
class ProductDataSource extends BasicDataSource<Product> {
private products: Product[] = [];
totalCount(): number {
return this.products.length;
}
getData(index: number): Product {
return this.products[index];
}
addData(product: Product): void {
this.products.push(product);
this.notifyDataAdd(this.products.length - 1);
}
updateData(index: number, product: Product): void {
this.products[index] = product;
this.notifyDataChange(index);
}
}
@Component
struct ProductList {
private dataSource: ProductDataSource = new ProductDataSource();
build() {
List() {
LazyForEach(this.dataSource, (product: Product, index: number) => {
ListItem() {
ProductCard({ product: product })
}
}, (product: Product) => product.id) // Key generator
}
.lanes(2) // Grid with 2 columns
.cachedCount(4) // Cache 4 items for smooth scrolling
}
}
Custom Dialog
@CustomDialog
struct ConfirmDialog {
controller: CustomDialogController;
title: string = 'Confirm';
message: string = '';
onConfirm: () => void = () => {};
build() {
Column() {
Text(this.title)
.fontSize(20)
.fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
.margin({ bottom: 16 })
Text(this.message)
.fontSize(16)
.margin({ bottom: 24 })
Row() {
Button('Cancel')
.onClick(() => this.controller.close())
.backgroundColor(Color.Gray)
.margin({ right: 16 })
Button('Confirm')
.onClick(() => {
this.onConfirm();
this.controller.close();
})
}
}
.padding(24)
}
}
// Usage
@Entry
@Component
struct MainPage {
dialogController: CustomDialogController = new CustomDialogController({
builder: ConfirmDialog({
title: 'Delete Item',
message: 'Are you sure you want to delete this item?',
onConfirm: () => this.deleteItem()
}),
autoCancel: true
});
private deleteItem(): void {
// Delete logic
}
build() {
Button('Delete')
.onClick(() => this.dialogController.open())
}
}

USE FOR: create app registration, register Azure AD app, configure OAuth, set up authentication, add API permissions, generate service principal, MSAL example, console app auth, Entra ID setup, Azure AD authentication. DO NOT USE FOR: Key Vault secrets (use azure-keyvault-expiration-audit), general Azure resource security guidance.
google-agents-cli-adk-code
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
embedded-captions
heygen-com/hyperframes
Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
