coroutines-channels-select

What problem does it solve?

This skill coordinates Kotlin coroutines that must exchange values directly using Channel-based communication, providing backpressure and robust interaction between producers and consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Channel basics: a coroutine-aware queue with send/receive semantics and lifecycle controls (close, cancel).
• Capacity and buffering options: RENDEZVOUS, BUFFERED, UNLIMITED, CONFLATED, and their backpressure implications.
• Producer-consumer patterns: fan-out/fan-in, multiple producers feeding a single consumer.
• Produce/consume patterns: using produce builders and safe consumption of channels.
• select-based coordination: racing multiple sources with onReceive, onSend, onAwait, and onTimeout.
• Safe cancellation and error handling: predictable shutdown when producers or consumers fail.
