What Understanding Stability Inference does

Understanding Stability Inference explains why the Compose compiler classifies a class or composable parameter as stable, runtime, unknown, or unstable. Use it to trace the 12-phase inference algorithm, including generics, inheritance, cross-module $stable values, and stability annotations.

Understanding Stability Inference is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Understanding Stability Inference comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, android, claude, claude-code and compose.

Excerpt

Understanding Stability Inference — read the compiler's mind

Stability is decided by a 12-phase algorithm baked into the Compose compiler. This skill teaches Claude how the algorithm walks a type so it can explain why a report says what it says, and predict classifications before the report is even generated. Pair this with ../diagnosing-compose-stability/SKILL.md (which generates the report) and ../stabilizing-compose-types/SKILL.md (which fixes obvious unstable types). Reach for this skill when the simpler skills produce a verdict that surprises the developer.
