Documentation

README

Stabilizing Compose Types — Three Tiers, In Order

Once a diagnosis (see ../diagnosing-compose-stability/SKILL.md) has named the unstable types, this skill walks Claude through fixing them. The strategy is a strict three-tier waterfall: (1) make the type truly stable by structural rewrite (val + immutable fields) — no annotation needed; (2) annotate with @Immutable or @Stable when the source is owned and the contract is honored; (3) use stabilityConfigurationFile for third-party or Java types. DO NOT invert this order — annotations are a contract, not a magic spell.

Auditing Compose Performance

Auditing Compose Performance runs a Measure → Diagnose → Fix → Verify workflow for broad Jetpack Compose slowdowns. Use it for perf audits, sprint kickoffs, and written reports when you need baseline metrics, causes, fixes, and verification.

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.
