Null safety in Kotlin is enforced through safe calls (?.), the Elvis operator (?:), and smart casts to eliminate NPEs. This Skill guides patterns for safe handling across Android and JVM projects, with detekt and ktlint configured to catch unsafe patterns automatically.

Coroutines enable asynchronous programming using suspend functions, launch, async, and Flow. This Skill provides patterns for proper coroutine usage in Android and JVM apps, preventing common mistakes and integrating with static analysis tools to ensure idiomatic implementations.

Configure detekt and ktlint in your Kotlin project to enforce standards on null safety, concurrency, and idiomatic patterns. This Skill specifies tool integration, val over var discipline, and consistent testing setups that apply across Android and JVM codebases.

Yes, these standards apply to both Android and JVM Kotlin projects. The Skill guides conventions for data classes, sealed classes, extension functions, and delegation that work across platforms, with detekt and ktlint configured to enforce them on existing or new codebases.

Functional programming patterns include trailing lambdas, proper extension function usage, sealed classes for type-safe abstractions, and disciplined immutability through val declarations. The Skill enforces these via static analysis to produce idiomatic, maintainable Kotlin code.
