What Iterating With AI And MCP does

Iterating With AI And MCP lets an AI agent edit a Kotlin file, hot reload the app, take screenshots, and compare results to a design intent. Use it for autonomous Compose UI iteration, snapshot rollback, and full-install fallback when schema changes break reloads.

Iterating With AI And MCP is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Iterating With AI And MCP comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, android, claude, claude-code and compose.

Documentation

README

Iterating with AI and MCP: let the agent edit, reload, screenshot, and iterate

Compose HotSwan ships an embedded HTTP MCP server inside the IntelliJ plugin. Any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, any tool that speaks Model Context Protocol) can call its tools to drive the iteration loop. The agent edits a Kotlin file, calls hotswan_reload, captures a screenshot of the running device, evaluates the result against the design intent, and decides the next change. Cycle time is comparable to the human loop, a few seconds per iteration, so the agent can converge on a UI tweak without a human steering each step.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Avoiding Subcomposition Pitfalls

Avoiding Subcomposition Pitfalls explains when SubcomposeLayout, BoxWithConstraints, or Scaffold cause repeated measure-phase composition in Jetpack Compose. Use it to replace unnecessary subcomposition with cheaper layout primitives or tune it when subcomposition is required.

Choosing DerivedStateOf

Choosing DerivedStateOf helps decide when Jetpack Compose derivedStateOf reduces recompositions and when it is just overhead. It covers input-vs-output frequency, required remember wrapping, stale captures, and snapshotFlow for one-shot side effects.

Collecting Flows Safely

Collecting Flows Safely helps migrate Compose screens from collectAsState() to collectAsStateWithLifecycle() and tame high-frequency flows with conflate(), distinctUntilChanged(), and snapshotFlow. Use it when background collection, unstable Flow parameters, or chatty streams are causing wasted work or extra recompositions.

Configuring Lazy Prefetch

Configuring Lazy Prefetch tunes Jetpack Compose lazy-layout cache windows and nested prefetch for heavy scrolling. Use it when dropped frames come from composition work, especially with LazyLayoutCacheWindow or inner lazy layouts.

Configuring R8 For Compose

Configuring R8 For Compose explains how to set up minification for a Jetpack Compose app with R8 full mode, resource shrinking, and minimal keep rules. Use it when enabling release shrinking, fixing missing keeps, or checking why Compose does not need blanket keep rules.
