Use when building Android apps with Jetpack Compose — covers @Preview setup (LocalInspectionMode, Vico charts), Scaffold + bottom nav + status bar insets, ModalBottomSheet nested-scroll jitter, ripple clipping on rounded corners, SwipeToDismissBox with transparent content, and locale-aware date formatting (MIUI quirks).

  • 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.

  • 9 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by hanamizuki on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. 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.
2

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/hanamizuki/solopreneur.git /tmp/solopreneur
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/solopreneur/plugins/claude/android-dev/skills/android-patterns .claude/skills/android-patterns
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Android Patterns 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 Android Patterns 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 Android Patterns 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.

Android / Jetpack Compose Patterns

A curated collection of non-obvious patterns that solve recurring issues in Jetpack Compose apps. Each reference is self-contained — load only the one(s) relevant to the task.

When to load which reference

Decide by the symptom or the task at hand, then read the matching reference before writing code.

Task / SymptomReference
Writing a new @Preview, preview is blank, or any preview questionreferences/compose-preview-overview.md — start here (it branches to solutions/debugging/charts)
Preview involves Vico charts, CartesianChartModelProducer, or complex chart logicreferences/compose-preview-charts.md
Designing Scaffold + BottomNavigationBar + TopAppBar with edge-to-edge / status barreferences/scaffold-bottom-nav.md
Content inside ModalBottomSheet jitters when scrolled to topreferences/bottomsheet-scroll.md
Ripple on a rounded/shaped clickable is rectangular or spills past cornersreferences/compose-ripple-clipping.md
SwipeToDismissBox — background indicator bleeds through semi-transparent contentreferences/swipe-to-dismiss-transparent.md
Displaying user-facing dates across locales (MM/DD vs DD/MM, MIUI locale quirks, i18n)references/date-format-localization.md

How to use these patterns

These references describe patterns, not project-specific conventions. Examples use AppTheme and generic identifiers — substitute the host project's theme (MojoTheme, YourAppTheme, etc.) and domain types when applying. The principles transfer directly.

If the host project already has an established pattern that contradicts a reference, follow the host project. Use these references for greenfield code or when a known issue matches the described symptom.

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 Android Patterns AI skill do?

Use when building Android apps with Jetpack Compose — covers @Preview setup (LocalInspectionMode, Vico charts), Scaffold + bottom nav + status bar insets, ModalBottomSheet nested-scroll jitter, ripple clipping on rounded corners, SwipeToDismissBox with transparent content, and locale-aware date formatting (MIUI quirks).

Why use Android Patterns on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Android Patterns 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 Android Patterns in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/hanamizuki/solopreneur/tree/main/plugins/claude/android-dev/skills/android-patterns. 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 Android Patterns?

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 Android Patterns?

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

Is the Android Patterns AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by hanamizuki under the MIT license. 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.
