Claude Zero to Hero — Android & KMP Skills

40 opinionated skill documents that turn Claude Code into a senior Android engineer on your team.

---

What this repo is

A focused library of skill documents — one per Android/KMP topic — that give AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Claude.ai, GitHub Copilot) the context they need to produce production-quality, architecturally consistent code.

Each skill covers a single concern: patterns, typed code examples, implementation checklist, anti-pattern warnings, and pointers to related skills. Skills compose. Give Claude two or three together, and it produces code that is consistent across all layers.

Live proof: TaskVault — a complete Android productivity app scaffolded from a single prompt using all 40 skills. Built with Claude Code.
