Use this skill to install and operate the `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` IntelliJ / Android Studio plugin so the developer sees Compose stability feedback live in the editor instead of waiting for a Gradle build. Covers installing the plugin from disk, configuring the `Settings → Tools → Compose Stability Analyzer` panel, reading the four gutter colors (green stable, red unstable, yellow runtime, gray no-params), the per-parameter hover documentation, the inline parameter hint badges, and the `UnstableComposable` weak-warning inspection with its `@Suppress("NonSkippableComposable")` and `@Suppress("ParamsComparedByRef")` quick fixes. Use when the user mentions gutter icons, inline hints, the stability inspection, the IDEA plugin, real-time stability feedback while editing, or asks why a composable is flagged as non-skippable in the editor.
Use this skill to reason about Jetpack Compose's Strong Skipping Mode — the default since Kotlin 2.0.20 — including what it changes about skippability, when it does and does not auto-`remember` lambdas, and which escape hatches (`@DontMemoize`, `@NonSkippableComposable`, `@NonRestartableComposable`, `@ReadOnlyComposable`) apply where. Covers verifying the mode is active, auditing lambda capture sites, and the gaps where strong skipping does not memoize (`LazyListScope.items {}`, `Modifier.pointerInput {}`, object expressions, non-@Composable scopes). Use when the developer asks "do I still need @Stable?", "does this composable skip?", "why does this still recompose despite strong skipping", "when do I need @DontMemoize or @NonSkippableComposable?", is migrating from older Compose, or sees auto-remembered lambdas in compiler output.
Use this skill to drive the active investigation features of the `skydoves/compose-stability-analyzer` IntelliJ / Android Studio plugin: the static Recomposition Cascade visualizer that walks the call graph from a root `@Composable`, and the live Recomposition Heatmap that streams `D/Recomposition` events from a connected device's logcat into block inlays above each instrumented composable. Covers the `Compose Stability Analyzer` tool window's three tabs (Explorer, Cascade, Heatmap), the cascade analyzer's static PSI walk with depth cap and cycle detection, the ADB logcat command the heatmap consumes, and the toggle/clear actions. Use when the user asks "what gets dragged in if I change this composable", "how many times did this recompose during that scroll", "what is the blast radius of this state change", or mentions the cascade tab, the heatmap tab, the recomposition inlays, or `Toggle Recomposition Heatmap`.
