android-navigation
Implement navigation with Jetpack Compose Navigation and App Links on Android. Use when implementing navigation flows, deep links, or backstack handling in Android. (triggers: **/*Screen.kt, **/*Activity.kt, **/NavGraph.kt, NavController, NavHost, composable, navArgument, deepLinks)
Best use case
android-navigation is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Teams using android-navigation 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 Navigation (Jetpack Compose) ## **Priority: P2 (OPTIONAL)** Navigation and deep linking using Jetpack Compose Navigation. ## Guidelines - **Library**: Use `androidx.navigation:navigation-compose`. - **Type Safety**: Use sealed classes for routes, never raw strings. - **Deep Links**: Configure `intent-filter` in Manifest and `deepLinks` in NavHost. - **Validation**: Validate arguments (e.g., proper IDs) before loading content. ## Anti-Patterns - **No String Routes**: Use `Screen.Product.route` instead of `"product/$id"`. - **No Unvalidated Deep Links**: Check resource existence before rendering. - **No Missing Manifest**: Deep links require `autoVerify=true` intent filters. ## References - [Navigation Patterns](references/navigation-patterns.md)
