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 + examplesreferences/expect-actual-catalog.md- All 24 expect/actual pairs with patternsscripts/validate-kmp-structure.sh- Verify source set dependenciesassets/kmp-hierarchy-diagram.png- Visual graph
