using-strong-skipping-correctly
From the author
Use this skill to reason about Jetpack Compose's Strong Skipping Mode — the default since Kotlin 2.0.20 — including what it changes about skippability, when it does and does not auto-`remember` lambdas, and which escape hatches (`@DontMemoize`, `@NonSkippableComposable`, `@NonRestartableComposable`, `@ReadOnlyComposable`) apply where. Covers verifying the mode is active, auditing lambda capture sites, and the gaps where strong skipping does not memoize (`LazyListScope.items {}`, `Modifier.pointerInput {}`, object expressions, non-@Composable scopes). Use when the developer asks "do I still need @Stable?", "does this composable skip?", "why does this still recompose despite strong skipping", "when do I need @DontMemoize or @NonSkippableComposable?", is migrating from older Compose, or sees auto-remembered lambdas in compiler output.

- 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
- composeMeet-Miyani/compose-skillUse this skill first for any Jetpack Compose or Compose Multiplatform task: a new feature or screen, a change to existing code, a bug fix, a review, making code follow the kit, project or build setup, or a question. It picks the task path and the exact kit files to read. Not for Kotlin work outside a Compose or CMP app.Engineering★ 304
- stabilizing-compose-typesskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to fix unstable Jetpack Compose types once a stability diagnosis has identified them. Covers the three-tier strategy — make the type truly stable with val plus immutable fields, mark with @Immutable or @Stable when the source is owned, and use stabilityConfigurationFiles for third-party or Java types. Explains the compiler-level difference between @Immutable and @Stable (static expression promotion), kotlinx.collections.immutable for List/Set/Map parameters, and the StableHolder wrapper escape hatch. Use when the developer asks how to stabilize a User class, a List parameter, java.time.LocalDateTime, a Flow parameter, or when the compiler report shows unstable params and the developer wants the fix. The diagnostic step lives in a sibling skill.Other★ 524
- debugging-recompositionsskydoves/compose-performance-skillsUse this skill to find which Jetpack Compose composables are recomposing and why, using Android Studio Layout Inspector recomposition counts and skip counts, the per-parameter Argument Change Reasons (Changed / Unchanged / Uncertain / Static / Unknown) introduced in Android Studio Hedgehog and later, and runtime `@TraceRecomposition` from `compose-stability-analyzer` for production-like measurement. Walks through enabling counts, mapping each Argument Change Reason to a fix, and confirming the result in a release build. Use when the developer says "this should be skipping but isn't", "I want to see recomposition counts", asks what "Uncertain" or "Unknown" means in the inspector, or needs to confirm a stability or strong-skipping fix actually worked end-to-end.Engineering★ 524
- 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
- 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
