Is this suitable for Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP)?

While the examples often use the OkHttp engine for Android, the core Ktor patterns and serialization logic are highly applicable to Kotlin Multiplatform projects.

What is the Ktor Client Patterns skill for Claude?

It is a specialized guide for Claude Code that provides best-practice implementation patterns for building networking layers in Kotlin/Android apps using the Ktor HTTP client.

How does it handle API errors?

It implements a 'safeRequest' pattern that wraps network calls in a Result type, catching HTTP errors and mapping them to domain-specific exceptions.

Can this skill help with network security?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for certificate pinning and custom request interceptors to ensure secure communication between the app and the API.

Does this skill support JWT authentication?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for implementing bearer token authentication, including token storage and automatic refresh mechanisms.

Mobile Development

Implements modern Ktor HTTP client patterns for Android and Kotlin networking with production-ready best practices.

关于

This skill provides Claude with comprehensive patterns for building robust, coroutine-first networking layers using the Ktor client. It offers standardized templates for HttpClient configuration using the OkHttp engine, including JSON serialization, timeout management, and logging. Developers can leverage it to quickly implement complex networking requirements such as automatic bearer token refreshing, centralized error handling with custom exceptions, and advanced security measures like certificate pinning and request interceptors, making it a powerful resource for modern mobile app development.
