Android development guidelines for Kotlin with clean architecture, MVI pattern, Material Design, and best practices for building robust mobile applications.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Android Development Best Practices

## General Kotlin Guidelines

### Basic Principles
- Use English for all code and documentation
- Always declare variable and function types explicitly
- Avoid the `any` type; create necessary custom types
- Eliminate blank lines within function bodies

### Naming Standards
- **PascalCase**: Classes, interfaces, enums
- **camelCase**: Variables, functions, methods
- **underscores_case**: Files and directories
- **UPPERCASE**: Environment variables, constants
- Avoid magic numbers; define constants instead
- Functions should start with action verbs
- Boolean variables use prefixes: `isLoading`, `hasError`, `canDelete`

### Function Design
- Keep functions under 20 instructions with single responsibility
- Use verb-based naming
- Prefix boolean returns with `is`, `has`, or `can`
- Prefix void returns with `execute`, `save`, `send`
- Combat nesting through early returns, utility extraction, and higher-order functions
- Use default parameters instead of null checks
- Consolidate parameters into objects (RO-RO pattern)

### Data and Classes
- Employ data classes for data structures
- Encapsulate primitives in composite types; validate internally

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mindrally/skills/android-development@sha256:c3634c82ea41a1d7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.7682ca7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
