Use this skill to run an end-to-end Jetpack Compose performance audit when the symptom is broad ("the app feels sluggish", "scroll is rough everywhere", "we're starting a perf sprint", "what should we fix first?"). Orchestrates the four-phase Measure → Diagnose → Fix → Verify loop by sequencing the 25 focused skills (release-mode setup, R8, Baseline Profiles, Compose Compiler reports, stability inference, Layout Inspector, `@TraceRecomposition`, stabilization, strong skipping, phase-deferral, derivedStateOf, lazy layouts, lazy prefetch, Modifier.Node, modifier ordering, flow collection, effects, CI gates, hot-reload) and produces a written audit report with Before/After Macrobenchmark numbers. Use when the developer wants a perf sprint kickoff, a pre-release perf gate, onboarding to a perf-troubled codebase, or a written deliverable. Use when the user mentions "audit", "perf review", "perf sprint", "where do I start", or has no specific symptom yet.
Use this skill when a Compose tree uses SubcomposeLayout, BoxWithConstraints, or Scaffold and the developer reports extra measure passes, slow first frame, or layout passes running content composition repeatedly. Covers why SubcomposeLayout composes its slots during the measure phase, why BoxWithConstraints forces a subcomposition for every new Constraints value, why nesting Scaffold or BoxWithConstraints multiplies the cost, when a custom Layout or Modifier.layout { } replaces SubcomposeLayout, and how to use SubcomposeLayoutState's slot reuse policy and precompose APIs when SubcomposeLayout is genuinely required. Use when the developer mentions BoxWithConstraints, SubcomposeLayout, Scaffold, "extra measure pass", "double measurement", "first frame slow", "subcompose", or notices that wrapping content in BoxWithConstraints regresses scroll perf inside a LazyColumn.
Use this skill to decide when Jetpack Compose derivedStateOf is the right tool and when it is pure overhead. Covers the "input frequency must exceed output frequency" rule, the mandatory remember { derivedStateOf { } } wrapper, the canonical pitfall of capturing non-state variables by initial value (and the remember(key) fix), and the snapshotFlow alternative for fire-and-forget side effects on derived values. Use when the developer mentions derivedStateOf, scroll-position-driven booleans, threshold checks, firstVisibleItemIndex, "show FAB on scroll", recomposition counts that don't drop after wrapping a value, or asks whether a computed string concatenation should use derivedStateOf.
Use this skill to migrate Compose UI from `collectAsState()` to `collectAsStateWithLifecycle()`, hoist `Flow<T>` parameters out of composables, and apply `.conflate()` / `.distinctUntilChanged()` / `snapshotFlow` so background CPU and battery stop draining and chatty flows stop invalidating the UI per emission. Covers ViewModel `StateFlow`/`SharedFlow` consumers, sensor and location streams, and the "Flow as composable parameter" antipattern. Trigger when the user mentions `collectAsState`, `collectAsStateWithLifecycle`, lifecycle-aware flow collection, `Lifecycle.State.STARTED`, background battery drain from a Compose screen, `snapshotFlow`, `Flow` parameter on a composable, conflate, or distinctUntilChanged.
Use this skill to tune Jetpack Compose lazy-layout prefetch with LazyLayoutCacheWindow (Compose Foundation 1.9+, @ExperimentalFoundationApi) and pausable composition in prefetch (Compose Foundation 1.10+, default on). Covers configurable Dp-based ahead/behind cache windows plumbed through rememberLazyListState(cacheWindow = ...), NestedPrefetchScope for items containing inner lazy layouts (HorizontalPager inside a LazyColumn row), version requirements, and the trade-off between memory pressure and idle-frame work. Use when the developer mentions dropped frames at high scroll velocity, prefetch window, ahead/behind extents, LazyLayoutCacheWindow, NestedPrefetchScope, pausable composition for prefetch, or wants composition retained for items briefly scrolled past. Item-level fixes (keys, contentType) live in a sibling skill.
Use this skill to configure R8 correctly for a Jetpack Compose application — full mode by default, `proguard-android-optimize.txt`, resource shrinking on, and minimal keep rules because Compose ships consumer ProGuard rules. Covers AGP 8.0+ R8 full mode default, R8's Compose-aware optimizations (lambda grouping, `sourceInformation()` stripping, composable arg constant-folding, `ComposerImpl` devirtualization), legitimate keep needs (`@Serializable`, Hilt entry points, reflective `Saver`s), and the AGP 8.x missing-rule reporter / R8 retrace. Cited gain is roughly 75 percent startup and 60 percent frame-render improvement debug-to-release. Use when setting up a new Compose app, when a PR adds an over-broad keep like `-keep class androidx.compose.** { *; }`, when a release build crashes after enabling minification, when APK size needs reduction, or when first enabling minification.

This skill is standalone. If a dedicated kta-* test agent is added later, use the platform
delegation capability and keep that agent in the ai/kta/agents manifest.
