sota-mobile SKILL.md skillA

sota-mobile from martinholovsky/sota-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-mobile@git:20261028.da12e08

Pins git:20261028.da12e08 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

State-of-the-art mobile engineering for building and auditing iOS and Android applications. Use when the task involves mobile apps in any form — native (Swift, SwiftUI, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), cross-platform (React Native, Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform), app store submission and review (App Store, Google Play, privacy manifests, data safety), push notifications (APNs, FCM), offline-first architecture and sync, mobile security (Keychain, Keystore, certificate pinning, app attestation, OWASP…

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

# SOTA Mobile Engineering

## Purpose

Expert-level rules for building new mobile apps and auditing existing ones. Mobile is unlike web or backend in three load-bearing ways, and every rule in this skill flows from them:

1. **You cannot roll back a shipped binary.** Users update on their own schedule; some never do. Every release is permanent for some cohort. Design for kill switches, forced updates, and servers that tolerate ancient clients.
2. **The device is hostile territory.** The attacker owns the hardware, can decompile the binary, and can read anything you store insecurely. Client-side checks are deterrents, not controls; enforcement lives on the server.
3. **Resources are budgeted, not abundant.** Main thread, battery, memory, radio, and background execution time are all rationed by the OS. Apps that overspend get janked, killed, or throttled.

Facts in this skill (OS versions, store policies, framework status) were verified against primary sources in June 2026. Mobile platforms move fast — when a specific deadline or version matters, re-verify against Apple/Google developer docs before relying on it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-mobile@sha256:49a486bb3c5f722b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.da12e08, 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.
