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-development Generates 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.
