Excerpt

Setting Up Compose HotSwan: zero to sub-second reload on a real device

Compose HotSwan is a JetBrains IDE plugin plus a Gradle compiler plugin that swaps changed Kotlin classes into a running Compose app on a real device or emulator in under one second, preserving navigation, scroll, and remember state. This skill installs both pieces, wires the canonical Gradle DSL with debugOnly = true, and verifies the first save-to-reload round-trip. Sibling skills cover what does and does not hot-reload (../understanding-hot-reload-limits/SKILL.md), state preservation across reloads, and the AI-driven iteration loop.

Versions verified at the time of authoring. Confirm against the current release notes for newer minors.
