The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    When writing Kotlin, leverage its modern, expressive syntax and safety features:

    line 11
  2. Very specific:

    Immutability: Prefer val over var for variable declarations, and use immutable collections (List, Map) unless mutation is explicitly …

    line 13
  3. Very specific:

    Null Safety: Avoid the !! operator. Use safe calls ?., the Elvis operator ?:, or let blocks to handle nullable types.

    line 14
  4. Very specific:

    Coroutines: Use coroutines (suspend functions, launch, async) for asynchronous operations instead of raw threads or callbacks.

    line 15
  5. Very specific:

    Data Classes: Use data class for models and DTOs to automatically generate equals(), hashCode(), and copy().

    line 16
  6. Distinctive:

    Extension Functions: Use extension functions to add utility methods to existing classes without subclassing, keeping the core APIs clean.

    line 17

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Kotlin Best Practices

Apply this skill after inspecting repository conventions and supported versions. Treat its rules as defaults unless they protect a concrete safety property; preserve an established project pattern when it conflicts, and record the reason in the implementation plan.

When writing Kotlin, leverage its modern, expressive syntax and safety features:

  1. Immutability: Prefer val over var for variable declarations, and use immutable collections (List, Map) unless mutation is explicitly required.
  2. Null Safety: Avoid the !! operator. Use safe calls ?., the Elvis operator ?:, or let blocks to handle nullable types.
  3. Coroutines: Use coroutines (suspend functions, launch, async) for asynchronous operations instead of raw threads or callbacks. Be mindful of Dispatchers (e.g., Dispatchers.IO for database/network).
  4. Data Classes: Use data class for models and DTOs to automatically generate equals(), hashCode(), and copy().
  5. Extension Functions: Use extension functions to add utility methods to existing classes without subclassing, keeping the core APIs clean.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
