Android Compose Foundations

When To Use

• Use this skill when the request is about: jetpack compose screen, compose layout in android, modifier cleanup compose.
• Primary outcome: Build Android UI with Jetpack Compose foundations, layouts, modifiers, theming, and stable component structure.
• Handoff skills when the scope expands:
• android-compose-state-effects
• android-material3-design-system

Workflow

1. Identify whether the target surface is Compose, View system, or a mixed interoperability screen.
2. Select the lowest-friction UI pattern that satisfies responsiveness, accessibility, and performance needs.
3. Build the UI around stable state, explicit side effects, and reusable design tokens.
4. Exercise edge cases such as long text, font scaling, RTL, and narrow devices in the fixture apps.
5. Validate with unit, UI, and screenshot-friendly checks before handing off.
