Use when writing, reviewing, or modernizing Kotlin code with recent language versions (2.0–2.4.x, including 2.4.10 and 2.4.20-Beta1), including context parameters, collection literals, guard conditions in when, multi-dollar interpolation, non-local break/continue, explicit backing fields, nested type aliases, name-based destructuring, data objects, Enum.entries, rangeUntil, unused-return-value checker, K2 smart casts, contracts, experimental -X compiler flags, exception-handling idioms…

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

# Modern Kotlin

Use this skill to write idiomatic Kotlin with the features added in the last four years (mid-2022 → 2026,
Kotlin 1.7 → 2.4.20-Beta1) and to know exactly which compiler flag or opt-in each preview feature needs.

State as of July 2026:

- **Latest stable: 2.4.10** (July 14, 2026). **EAP: 2.4.20-Beta1** (2.4.20 final planned September 2026).
- Default language version is 2.4. **K1 is gone**: 2.4.0 dropped `-language-version 1.9`; K2 has been the only
  compiler since 2.0.0 (May 2024).
- Context receivers (`-Xcontext-receivers`) were **removed in 2.3.20** — always migrate to context parameters.

Detailed per-version notes with full stdlib/tooling changes live in `references/` (linked at the bottom). Older
pre-2022 features (sealed interfaces, value classes, `fun interface`, Duration API, …) are in
[references/kotlin-1.4-1.6.md](references/kotlin-1.4-1.6.md).

## Release timeline

| Version | Date | Language headliners |
|---|---|---|
| 1.7.0 / 1.7.20 | Jun / Sep 2022 | K2 Alpha; builder inference, `T & Any`, opt-in stable; `..<` and `data object` previews |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add heapy/kortex/modern-kotlin@sha256:fce20223f7ec0450

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.a1d1f5b, 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.
