What it does
When installed, this skill guides the AI agent to write and review Kotlin code in the style the Kotlin community recommends. It steers the agent toward safe handling of missing values, immutable data, sealed classes for clear result types, structured coroutines, extension functions, and type-safe builders for Gradle build files. It is a set of written guidelines and code examples rather than a tool that runs anything on its own.
Great for
- Developers writing new Kotlin or Android code who want consistent, modern style from an AI assistant
- Teams reviewing or refactoring existing Kotlin codebases
- Engineers configuring Gradle Kotlin DSL builds
Skip it if
- People who do not write Kotlin: the guidance only applies to Kotlin code and will not help with other languages
- Projects that require a specific house style that conflicts with these conventions, since the agent may push its own preferences over local rules
Try asking
- “Refactor this Kotlin service class to use sealed results instead of nullable returns”
- “Review my coroutine code and point out any structured concurrency problems”
- “Write a data class and value classes for a user model with validation”
- “Set up a Gradle Kotlin DSL build file for a multi-module project”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Name the Kotlin version and libraries you use (for example kotlinx.coroutines) so the suggestions match your setup.
- Ask the agent to explain why it chose a pattern, so you can judge whether it fits your codebase.
- Combine with your own project conventions in a separate instruction file, since this skill sets general defaults.
