What does the Kotlin Development skill do?

This skill transforms Claude into a senior Kotlin developer, specialized in building robust, production-ready web services using functional programming, http4k, and a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology.

When should I use this skill?

Use this skill when you need to write new Kotlin features, build REST APIs with http4k, refactor code to be more functional, or work within a Gradle-based project that requires comprehensive, test-first development.

What specific capabilities does it provide?

It provides patterns for TDD with JUnit 5 and Strikt, building type-safe APIs with the http4k Contract Pattern, mocking dependencies with MockK, domain model conversions, and database operations with kotliquery.

How does this skill improve my development workflow?

It ensures code is written test-first, promoting high quality and maintainability. By using established patterns for API contracts (http4k), error handling (Result4k), and database interaction, it accelerates development and reduces bugs.
