kotlin-context-parameters

Kotlin context parameters (`context(...)`) for scoped dependencies, DSL scopes, and migrations from context receivers. Use when designing, reviewing, or refactoring Kotlin code that uses implicit contextual values.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by alexandru on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Kotlin Context Parameters AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/alexandru/skills/tree/main/skills/coding/kotlin-context-parameters
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/alexandru/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/coding/kotlin-context-parameters .claude/skills/kotlin-context-parameters

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Kotlin Context Parameters in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Kotlin Context Parameters on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Kotlin Context Parameters is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Kotlin Context Parameters

Quick start

Declare dependencies with context(name: Type) before a function or property.
Introduce values at boundaries with context(value) { ... } or from an existing implicit receiver such as with(value) { ... }.
Use named context parameters for services you call directly; use _ for marker/scope capabilities used only for resolution.
Prefer small, explicit contexts. Avoid having multiple same-typed values available at the same scope level.
Read references/context-parameters.md before writing examples or migration advice.

Workflow

Identify the contextual capability: service dependency, DSL/scope marker, typeclass-like evidence, or migration from context receivers.
Decide names: named parameter when code needs the value; _ plus bridge functions when the context should only unlock operations.
Add a boundary that supplies the context (context(...) {} or a wrapper accepting a context(Type) () -> A block).
Check restrictions: no constructor/class contexts, no context-property initializers/backing fields/delegation.
Compile-test syntax with the target Kotlin version.

Rules of thumb

Context resolution is by type at the call site, not by parameter name.
Context values come from in-scope context parameters and implicit receivers.
If two compatible values are available at the same scope level, expect ambiguity.
Do not present proposal-only features as available unless verified with the user's Kotlin version.
For contextual function references and explicit context arguments, use lambdas or compile-test first; support has lagged the proposal in tested Kotlin builds.

Output expectations

Show call sites, not just declarations.
Prefer examples that compile on the target Kotlin version, or clearly mark untested/proposal-only behavior.

References

Load references/context-parameters.md for examples, restrictions, migration notes, and test prompts.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Kotlin Context Parameters AI skill do?

Why use Kotlin Context Parameters on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Kotlin Context Parameters is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Kotlin Context Parameters in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/alexandru/skills/tree/main/skills/coding/kotlin-context-parameters. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Kotlin Context Parameters?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Kotlin Context Parameters?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Kotlin Context Parameters with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Kotlin Context Parameters AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by alexandru. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
