# AmethystMultiplatform Skills Creation Plan

## Overview
Create 8 hybrid domain skills combining general expertise with AmethystMultiplatform-specific patterns.

**Approach:** Each skill provides domain knowledge + project-specific implementation patterns from codebase.

## Skills to Implement

### 1. kotlin-multiplatform ✅ COMPLETED
**Focus:** KMP architecture, jvmAndroid source set pattern, expect/actual

**SKILL.md sections:**
- Mental model: KMP hierarchy as dependency graph
- Source set architecture: commonMain → jvmAndroid → {androidMain, jvmMain}
- The jvmAndroid pattern (unique to this project, verified in quartz/build.gradle.kts:132-149)
- expect/actual mechanics with 24+ examples from codebase
- iOS framework setup for Quartz distribution

**Bundled resources:**
- `references/source-set-hierarchy.md` - Visual diagram + examples
- `references/expect-actual-catalog.md` - All 24 expect/actual pairs with patterns
- `scripts/validate-kmp-structure.sh` - Verify source set dependencies

## Phase 2 (2026-04): Audit & Expansion

After a full audit of the skill library, the following changes were made:

### Stale references fixed
- `CLAUDE.md` tech-stack versions updated to Compose 1.10.3 / Kotlin 2.3.20.
- `kotlin-multiplatform` reframed iOS as a mature target (not future) and added secp256k1-kmp 0.23.0 version notes.
- `desktop-expert` Main.kt line references rewritten to match current layout (Main.kt grew from ~270 to ~1341 lines; NavigationRail moved to `ui/deck/SinglePaneLayout.kt:97`); the obsolete "hardcoded ctrl = true anti-pattern" section replaced with a note that `isMacOS` branching is now applied throughout.

### Redundant files removed
- `.claude/skills/compose-desktop.md` deleted (superseded by `desktop-expert/`). `quartz-kmp.md` kept as a small breadcrumb pointer.

### New references added to existing skills
- `nostr-expert/references/nip19-bech32.md` — `Nip19Parser`, `Bech32Util`, `TlvBuilder`, entities.
- `nostr-expert/references/event-factory.md` — `EventFactory` dispatch + registering a new kind.
- `nostr-expert/references/crypto-and-encryption.md` — `EventHasher`, `Secp256k1Instance`, NIP-44, `SharedKeyCache`.
- `nostr-expert/references/large-cache.md` — `LargeCache<K,V>` + `ICacheOperations`.
- `kotlin-expert/references/common-utilities.md` — `NumberFormatters`, `TimeUtils`, `Hex`, `PubKeyFormatter`, `CoroutinesExt.launchIO`, etc.
- `compose-expert/references/rich-text-parsing.md` — `RichTextParser`, `UrlParser`, `GalleryParser`, NIP-92 imeta.
- `android-expert/references/image-loading.md` — Coil 3.x setup, custom fetchers, `MyAsyncImage`, `RobohashAsyncImage`.

### New skills created
- **`account-state/`** — `Account.kt` (50+ StateFlow properties) and `LocalCache.kt` event store.
  - `references/account-state-flow.md`, `references/local-cache.md`
- **`relay-client/`** — `ComposeSubscriptionManager`, filter assemblers, preloaders (`MetadataPreloader`, `MetadataRateLimiter`).
  - `references/filter-assemblers.md`, `references/preloaders.md`
- **`feed-patterns/`** — `FeedFilter`, `AdditiveComplexFeedFilter`, `FeedViewModel` hierarchy in `commons/`.
  - `references/feed-filter-composition.md`, `references/viewmodel-base-classes.md`
- **`auth-signers/`** — `NostrSigner` abstraction across `NostrSignerInternal`, `NostrSignerRemote` (NIP-46), `NostrSignerExternal` (NIP-55).
  - `references/nip46-remote-signer.md`, `references/nip55-android-signer.md`
