Use when Jetpack Compose code reads scroll, animation, gesture, or other frame-rate State in composition, passes changing values across composable boundaries, or uses value-form layout/draw modifiers. Technique-layer skill — complements the codebase-specific compose-expert.
Use when a Jetpack Compose screen-level composable takes a ViewModel/component/controller, collects state or effects, handles navigation/snackbars, or wires callbacks while also rendering layout. Technique-layer skill — complements the codebase-specific compose-expert and feed-patterns.
Compose Multiplatform Desktop patterns for the `desktopApp/` module. Use when working with (1) Desktop-only APIs (Window, WindowState, Tray, MenuBar, Dialog), (2) keyboard shortcuts and menu systems with OS-aware conventions (Cmd vs Ctrl, isMacOS branching), (3) desktop navigation (NavigationRail/sidebar vs Android bottom nav, multi-window), (4) file system integration (file pickers, drag-and-drop, Desktop.getDesktop()), (5) OS-specific behavior on macOS/Windows/Linux, (6) desktop UX principles (keyboard-first, tooltips). Delegates shared composables to compose-expert, build/packaging to gradle-expert, and source-set structure to kotlin-multiplatform.
Feed composition and data-access layer patterns in Amethyst. Use when adding or modifying a feed (home, profile, hashtag, bookmarks, notifications, DMs, communities), working with the shared `FeedFilter` / `AdditiveFeedFilter` / `ChangesFlowFilter` / `FeedContentState` in `commons/.../ui/feeds/`, the Android-only `AdditiveComplexFeedFilter` / `FilterByListParams` in `amethyst/.../ui/dal/`, or extending the `FeedViewModel` family in `commons/.../viewmodels/`. Covers how feeds scan `LocalCache`, react to changes, apply ordering, and render through Compose.
Use when writing or reviewing Kotlin code that stores CoroutineScope, launches from init/non-suspending APIs, calls runBlocking, or catches broad exceptions around suspend calls. Technique-layer skill — complements the codebase-specific kotlin-coroutines.
Use when writing or reviewing Kotlin type declarations to choose @JvmInline value class over data class where appropriate, including Compose stability implications. Technique-layer skill — complements the codebase-specific kotlin-expert.
How to create, review, revise, and merge pull requests in this repo, which can be published TWO ways — GitHub (the `gh` CLI) and git-over-nostr (the `ngit` CLI, where PRs are nostr **proposals** reviewed on gitworkshop.dev). Use whenever a task involves opening/updating/merging a PR by either mechanism, the `pr/feat/*` branches, the `ngit` or `gh` CLIs, gitworkshop.dev, or a `nostr://` remote. Remote names vary per clone (and a collaborator may have only one) — this skill identifies remotes by URL, and covers the three-mains alignment gate the nostr flow depends on.
Subscription and filter-assembly patterns for the Amethyst relay client layer in `commons/.../relayClient/`. Use when working with compose-scoped subscriptions (`ComposeSubscriptionManager`, `Subscribable`), filter assemblers (`MetadataFilterAssembler`, `ReactionsFilterAssembler`, `FeedMetadataCoordinator`), preloaders (`MetadataPreloader`, `MetadataRateLimiter`), EOSE managers, or any feature that needs to talk to relays lifecycle-aware from a composable. Complements `nostr-expert` (protocol filter syntax) and `kotlin-coroutines` (callbackFlow patterns).
AI DevKit · Worktree setup and resume guidance for isolated feature work. Use when starting, resuming, switching, or verifying a feature branch/worktree for lifecycle, debugging, implementation, review, or multi-agent workflows.
