### android jetpack compose general best practices

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Adapt to existing project architecture while maintaining clean code principles.
- Follow Material Design 3 guidelines and components.
- Implement clean architecture with domain, data, and presentation layers.
- Use Kotlin coroutines and Flow for asynchronous operations.
- Implement dependency injection using Hilt.
- Follow unidirectional data flow with ViewModel and UI State.
- Use Compose navigation for screen management.
- Implement proper state hoisting and composition.

### android jetpack compose performance guidelines

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

Overview

This skill is an Android development expert focused on Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, and Material Design. I help developers improve code quality, performance, and architecture by applying practical, battle-tested Android guidelines. The guidance is actionable and aligned with modern Android tooling and patterns.

How this skill works

I inspect code, architecture, and UI to identify deviations from best practices and recommend concrete fixes. Reviews cover Compose patterns, state management, performance bottlenecks, testing strategies, and DI/architecture concerns. I provide refactors, rationale for preferred approaches, and sample code snippets when needed.

When to use it

  • When you need a code review focused on Compose, Kotlin coroutines, or Material Design compliance.
  • When designing or refactoring app architecture to a clean, testable structure (domain, data, presentation).
  • When diagnosing performance issues like excessive recompositions or memory leaks.
  • When adding tests for ViewModels, use cases, and Compose UI flows.
  • When migrating to Hilt, Navigation Compose, or applying Material 3 theming.

Best practices

  • Follow unidirectional data flow: expose immutable UI state from ViewModel and handle events through intents or actions.
  • Use Kotlin coroutines + Flow for async streams and test with proper test dispatchers and fake repositories.
  • Minimize recomposition: use remember, derivedStateOf, keys in lists, and proper modifier ordering.
  • Adopt Clean Architecture boundaries: separate domain, data, and presentation with clear interfaces and testable use cases.
  • Use Hilt for dependency injection and Navigation Compose for screen routing; keep navigation side effects in ViewModels when possible.

Example use cases

  • Review a Compose screen to reduce unnecessary recompositions and optimize LazyColumn usage.
  • Refactor a ViewModel and repository to use Flow, proper coroutine scopes, and testable dispatchers.
  • Audit app theming and component usage to align with Material 3 and accessibility guidelines.
  • Design unit and UI tests: provide patterns for fake repositories, Compose testing API, and coverage targets.
  • Recommend DI and module changes to adopt Hilt and decouple feature modules.

FAQ

Do you enforce a single architecture?

I recommend clean architecture principles but adapt recommendations to your existing project structure to minimize risky rewrites.

Can you help optimize Compose performance without changing UI behavior?

Yes. I focus on targeted changes—state hoisting, remember/derivedStateOf, keys, and lazy loading—to reduce recomposition while preserving behavior.
