coroutines-shared-state

What problem does it solve?

Coroutines can access and modify shared mutable state, leading to data races and subtle bugs. This skill provides patterns to coordinate access safely and avoid deadlocks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mutex-based synchronization with withLock for short critical sections.
• Atomic references and StateFlow-based state management for observable, lock-free reads.
• Single-thread confinement and actor-style messaging to prevent cross-thread contention.
• Deadlock-avoidance guidance and best practices for lock ordering.

Quick Start

Create a small Kotlin example where multiple coroutines update a shared counter safely and verify thread-safe behavior.
