Deferring State Reads
Use this skill to push frequently-changing Jetpack Compose state reads (scroll position, animation values, drag offsets) out of the Composition phase and down into Layout or Draw using lambda-based modifiers like Modifier.offset { }, Modifier.layout { }, Modifier.graphicsLayer { }, Modifier.drawBehind { }, and Modifier.drawWithCache { }. Covers the three-phase model (Composition, Layout, Draw), why a state read at phase N invalidates phase N and every phase below, the modifier-phase cheat sheet, and lambda providers (() -> T) for hoisting hot values across composables. Use when the developer mentions every-frame work, scroll jank, animation jank, dropped frames, animated alpha or offset, "the whole subtree recomposes on scroll", Modifier.alpha(state.value), Modifier.offset(x.dp), or graphicsLayer.

From the source SKILL.md
Compose runs three phases per frame — Composition → Layout → Draw. A state read at phase N invalidates phase N and every phase below it. The single biggest perf win in any animation- or scroll-driven UI is moving a state read from Composition down to Layout or Draw via a lambda-based modifier. This skill teaches Claude how to spot the wrong-phase read and migrate it.
What this skill does
Deferring State Reads is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/deferring-state-reads/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the developer mentions every-frame work, scroll jank, animation jank, dropped frames, animated alpha or offset, "the whole subtree recomposes on scroll", Modifier.alpha(state.
Who uses this skill

When should I use the Deferring State Reads skill?
Use Deferring State Reads when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the general misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Deferring State Reads" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Deferring State Reads skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Deferring State Reads is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category. Learn more at
