android-di
Configure Hilt dependency injection with proper scoping, modules, and constructor injection in Android. Use when setting up Hilt DI, component scoping, or defining modules. (triggers: **/*Module.kt, **/*Component.kt, @HiltAndroidApp, @Inject, @Provides, @Binds)
Best use case
android-di is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Configure Hilt dependency injection with proper scoping, modules, and constructor injection in Android. Use when setting up Hilt DI, component scoping, or defining modules. (triggers: **/*Module.kt, **/*Component.kt, @HiltAndroidApp, @Inject, @Provides, @Binds)
Teams using android-di should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Android Dependency Injection (Hilt) ## **Priority: P0** ## 1. Bootstrap Hilt - Annotate `Application` class with `@HiltAndroidApp`. - Annotate Activities/Fragments with `@AndroidEntryPoint`. See [module templates](references/files.md) for bootstrap and module examples. ## 2. Define Modules - Use `@Binds` (abstract class) over `@Provides` when possible — generates smaller code. - Be explicit with `@InstallIn` (`SingletonComponent`, `ViewModelComponent`). See [module templates](references/files.md) for `@Binds` examples. ## 3. Prefer Constructor Injection - Use `@Inject constructor(...)` over field injection. - Use `@AssistedInject` for runtime parameters. ## Anti-Patterns - **No Manual Dagger Components**: Use Hilt — it generates all the wiring. - **No Field Injection in Logic**: Use constructor injection; field injection only in Android framework classes. ## References - [Module Templates](references/files.md)
