Cloned the repo and ran scripts/generate_feature.py settings --package com.example.app; it generated 7 files across api/impl modules. Inspected the output: correct NiA idioms (@HiltViewModel injection, sealed UiState Loading/Success/Error, collectAsStateWithLifecycle, stateless Route/Screen split with @Preview, stateIn WhileSubscribed(5000), @Serializable typed nav, convention-plugin build.gradle.kts). Built a by-hand baseline for the same task (single package, plain ViewModel constructed in a Composable default arg, MutableStateFlow + boolean-flag state, collectAsState, no modules) — the skill output is markedly more idiomatic and complete. Script is pure stdlib Python with argparse --path, no network/exec, no security smells; all spot-checked referenced files returned HTTP 200.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Android Development does
Scaffolds production-style Android code following Google's official architecture guidance and the NowInAndroid reference app: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, MVVM ViewModels, Hilt DI, Room, and api/impl feature modules. Ships a working Python generator that emits a full feature module and five reference docs (architecture, modularization, compose, gradle, testing). Triggers when a user asks to create an Android project, feature module, screen, ViewModel, or repository, or asks about Android architecture patterns.
How to install Android Development
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dpconde/claude-android-skill.git /tmp/android-development-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/android-development
cp -R /tmp/android-development-src/. ~/.claude/skills/android-development/
# SKILL.md is at the repo root, so the whole repo becomes the skill dir
# (references/, assets/templates/, scripts/generate_feature.py all needed)
# Optional generator (pure Python 3, stdlib only, no deps):
# python3 ~/.claude/skills/android-development/scripts/generate_feature.py settings \
# --package com.example.app --path /path/to/your/android/project
# Generated code assumes a NowInAndroid-style project with convention plugins
# (nowinandroid.android.feature, .android.library.compose) already present.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Android Development
-
/android-developmentGenerates NowInAndroid-style Kotlin/Compose feature modules with Hilt and MVVM
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Create a new Android screen with Compose -
Set up Hilt dependency injection for this app -
Build a Room database repository for this feature
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Android Development skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from dpconde/claude-android-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Android Development work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 31, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Cloned the repo and ran scripts/generate_feature.py settings --package com.example.app; it generated 7 files across api/impl modules. Inspected the output: correct NiA idioms (@HiltViewModel injection, sealed UiState Loading/Success/Error, collectAsStateWithLifecycle, stateless Route/Screen split with @Preview, stateIn WhileSubscribed(5000), @Serializable typed nav, convention-plugin build.gradle.kts).

- What is the Android Development SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Android Development?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Android Development with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
