collecting-flows-safely
From the author
Use this skill to migrate Compose UI from `collectAsState()` to `collectAsStateWithLifecycle()`, hoist `Flow<T>` parameters out of composables, and apply `.conflate()` / `.distinctUntilChanged()` / `snapshotFlow` so background CPU and battery stop draining and chatty flows stop invalidating the UI per emission. Covers ViewModel `StateFlow`/`SharedFlow` consumers, sensor and location streams, and the "Flow as composable parameter" antipattern. Trigger when the user mentions `collectAsState`, `collectAsStateWithLifecycle`, lifecycle-aware flow collection, `Lifecycle.State.STARTED`, background battery drain from a Compose screen, `snapshotFlow`, `Flow` parameter on a composable, conflate, or distinctUntilChanged.

- compose-uiMeet-Miyani/compose-skillWrites and reviews composables for Compose and CMP: the Route/Screen/leaf split, state-read placement and stability, loading/empty/error UX states, LazyColumn lists and grids, animation choice, accessibility and semantics, design-system tokens, CMP Res resources, Coil images, and keyboard/focus. Use when touching @Composable code, recomposition, stability, LazyColumn, animation, shimmer or skeleton, accessibility, theme, colors, Res.string, Coil, focus, or keyboard. Do NOT use for MVI, error tiers, or module graph (compose-architecture), ViewModel or data work (compose-feature, compose-data), Gradle or module work (compose-project), or expect/actual splits (compose-platform).Design★ 304
- visualizing-recomposition-cascadesskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to drive the active investigation features of the `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` IntelliJ / Android Studio plugin: the static Recomposition Cascade visualizer that walks the call graph from a root `@Composable`, and the live Recomposition Heatmap that streams `D/Recomposition` events from a connected device's logcat into block inlays above each instrumented composable. Covers the `Compose Stability Analyzer` tool window's three tabs (Explorer, Cascade, Heatmap), the cascade analyzer's static PSI walk with depth cap and cycle detection, the ADB logcat command the heatmap consumes, and the toggle/clear actions. Use when the user asks "what gets dragged in if I change this composable", "how many times did this recompose during that scroll", "what is the blast radius of this state change", or mentions the cascade tab, the heatmap tab, the recomposition inlays, or `Toggle Recomposition Heatmap`.Finance★ 524
- compose-featureMeet-Miyani/compose-skillAdds, changes, or reviews a screen, sheet, dialog, or destination slice (endpoint to repository to ViewModel to UI to navigation to DI to tests) in a Compose or CMP project. Use when adding a screen, building a new feature, adding a ViewModel or destination, wiring list/detail or a form screen, scaffolding a slice, or reviewing a feature change. Covers Contract.kt, launchGuarded wiring, SavedStateHandle drafts, the state matrix, and new-feature.sh. Do NOT use for routing or architecture (compose-architecture), pure refactors, Gradle work (compose-project), recomposition or styling (compose-ui), repository or persistence work (compose-data), or expect/actual splits (compose-platform).Testing★ 304
- compress-sessionpedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflowDistill the current conversation into a structured note (decisions made, open questions, file pointers with line numbers, next 1–3 actions) and save to `quality_reports/session_logs/` before auto-compression. Differs from `/checkpoint` (explicit stop-point snapshot) and from auto-compaction (which truncates rather than distills). Use when context is approaching auto-compact threshold, when a long pipeline has accumulated many decisions, or when the user says "compress", "distil this session", "before we hit auto-compact", "structured handoff before context resets".Productivity★ 1.7K
- choosing-derivedstateofskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to decide when Jetpack Compose derivedStateOf is the right tool and when it is pure overhead. Covers the "input frequency must exceed output frequency" rule, the mandatory remember { derivedStateOf { } } wrapper, the canonical pitfall of capturing non-state variables by initial value (and the remember(key) fix), and the snapshotFlow alternative for fire-and-forget side effects on derived values. Use when the developer mentions derivedStateOf, scroll-position-driven booleans, threshold checks, firstVisibleItemIndex, "show FAB on scroll", recomposition counts that don't drop after wrapping a value, or asks whether a computed string concatenation should use derivedStateOf.Other★ 524
- avoiding-subcomposition-pitfallsskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill when a Compose tree uses SubcomposeLayout, BoxWithConstraints, or Scaffold and the developer reports extra measure passes, slow first frame, or layout passes running content composition repeatedly. Covers why SubcomposeLayout composes its slots during the measure phase, why BoxWithConstraints forces a subcomposition for every new Constraints value, why nesting Scaffold or BoxWithConstraints multiplies the cost, when a custom Layout or Modifier.layout { } replaces SubcomposeLayout, and how to use SubcomposeLayoutState's slot reuse policy and precompose APIs when SubcomposeLayout is genuinely required. Use when the developer mentions BoxWithConstraints, SubcomposeLayout, Scaffold, "extra measure pass", "double measurement", "first frame slow", "subcompose", or notices that wrapping content in BoxWithConstraints regresses scroll perf inside a LazyColumn.Other★ 524
