setting-up-compose-hotswan
From the author
Use this skill to install and verify Compose HotSwan end to end so a developer goes from zero to working sub-second hot reload on a real device or emulator in one session. Covers the JetBrains IDE plugin install, the `com.github.skydoves.compose.hotswan.compiler` Gradle plugin wiring, the canonical `hotSwanCompiler { enabled = true; debugOnly = true }` DSL block, the HotSwan tool window flow, and the first save-to-reload verification. Trigger when the user mentions HotSwan, Compose hot reload, instant UI update, "save and see", "no rebuild", live edit on device, fast Compose iteration, or already has the JetBrains plugin installed and asks how to apply the Gradle compiler plugin.

- preserving-state-across-reloadsskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to keep Jetpack Compose state alive across HotSwan hot reloads by understanding the three escalating tiers Compose HotSwan uses (tier 1 targeted recomposition, tier 2 composition reset, tier 3 Activity.recreate) and choosing edits and state holders that stay inside tier 1 where scroll position, lazy items, dialog state, and per-composable remember values all survive. Explains which edits force escalation, which state holders survive each tier, and how to hoist transient UI state when the iteration loop must escalate. Use when the developer says "scroll jumped to top after a hot reload", "lost dialog state", "lazy column re-fetched", "tab selection reset", asks why HotSwan reload escalated to tier 2 or 3, plans a refactor and needs to know which scope it touches, or wants to know which state holders survive composition reset.Design★ 524
- tracing-recompositions-at-runtimeskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to instrument a Jetpack Compose composable with `@TraceRecomposition` from `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` so per-recomposition diffs (which state or parameter changed, what value transition) print to logcat under the `Recomposition` tag. Works in release-with-debug-symbols builds where Android Studio Layout Inspector cannot reach, and feeds the IntelliJ / Android Studio plugin's live recomposition heatmap (green under 10, yellow 10–50, red 50+). Covers the Gradle plugin setup, the `ComposeStabilityAnalyzer.setEnabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG)` runtime gate that keeps the instrumentation out of production, and the handoff to debug-time Layout Inspector and CI `stabilityCheck`. Use when the user mentions `@TraceRecomposition`, "trace recomposition", "compose-stability-analyzer", "recomposition logcat", "recomposition heatmap", "release-mode recomposition counts", or needs to confirm a stability fix in a release-like build.Engineering★ 524
- using-stability-analyzer-ide-pluginskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to install and operate the `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` IntelliJ / Android Studio plugin so the developer sees Compose stability feedback live in the editor instead of waiting for a Gradle build. Covers installing the plugin from disk, configuring the `Settings → Tools → Compose Stability Analyzer` panel, reading the four gutter colors (green stable, red unstable, yellow runtime, gray no-params), the per-parameter hover documentation, the inline parameter hint badges, and the `UnstableComposable` weak-warning inspection with its `@Suppress("NonSkippableComposable")` and `@Suppress("ParamsComparedByRef")` quick fixes. Use when the user mentions gutter icons, inline hints, the stability inspection, the IDEA plugin, real-time stability feedback while editing, or asks why a composable is flagged as non-skippable in the editor.Writing★ 524
- diagnosing-compose-stabilityskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to diagnose Jetpack Compose stability problems by enabling and reading the Compose Compiler Reports (classes.txt, composables.txt, composables.csv, module.json). Covers the Gradle DSL, the release-only build requirement, and how to interpret per-class and per-composable stability annotations including stable, unstable, runtime, restartable, skippable, readonly, @static, and @dynamic markers. Use when the developer asks "why does this recompose", reports jank, dropped frames, slow scroll, high recomposition count, suspects an unstable parameter, mentions Compose Compiler Reports, classes.txt, composables.txt, module.json, or wants to know which composables are non-skippable. The fix lives in a sibling skill — this one only diagnoses.Data★ 524
- enforcing-stability-in-ciskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to set up a CI gate that fails the build when Compose stability silently regresses, using the `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` Gradle plugin (primary) or the `j-roskopf/ComposeGuard` plugin (alternative for non-Android multiplatform). Covers applying `com.github.skydoves.compose.stability.analyzer`, configuring the `composeStabilityAnalyzer { stabilityValidation { ... } }` DSL, generating a `.stability` baseline with `:stabilityDump`, committing it to version control, and wiring `:stabilityCheck` into a GitHub Actions or other CI job. Use when the team wants a stability SLO, when an unstable parameter slipped into a shared data class and went unnoticed until jank was reported, when migrating a large app to strong skipping, or when the user mentions stabilityCheck, stabilityDump, baseline drift, ComposeGuard, or "fail the build on stability regression".DevOps★ 524
- compose-projectMeet-Miyani/compose-skillOwns project and build-level work for Compose and Compose Multiplatform apps: bootstrapping a new project, adopting the kit in an existing project, adding or extracting a module, convention plugins in build-logic, the version catalog, and CI plus agent hooks. Use when starting a Compose Multiplatform app, adding a module, or editing settings.gradle.kts, build.gradle.kts, build-logic, libs.versions.toml, or packaging. Do NOT use for routing and architecture choices (compose-architecture), feature code (compose-feature), repositories and persistence (compose-data), composables or resources (compose-ui), or commonMain vs platform code (compose-platform).Design★ 304
