Migrating To Modifier Node
Use this skill to author new custom Jetpack Compose modifiers and migrate legacy ones from Modifier.composed { } to Modifier.Node + ModifierNodeElement<T>. Covers the persistent-node lifecycle (onAttach, onDetach, onReset, coroutineScope), the specialized node interfaces (DrawModifierNode, LayoutModifierNode, SemanticsModifierNode, PointerInputModifierNode, CompositionLocalConsumerModifierNode, LayoutAwareModifierNode, GlobalPositionAwareModifierNode, ObserverModifierNode, DelegatingNode, TraversableNode), why ModifierNodeElement MUST be a data class for diffing, and the manual-invalidation knobs (invalidateDraw, invalidateMeasurement, invalidatePlacement, shouldAutoInvalidate). Use when the developer mentions Modifier.composed, custom modifier, ModifierNodeElement, Modifier.Node, "rewriting our drawBehind helper", node lifecycle, or sees Modifier.composed { } in a code review.

From the source SKILL.md
Modifier.composed { } allocates a fresh composable scope per modifier per composition: it cannot be skipped, cannot be hoisted, and forces the parent to run on every recomposition. Modifier.Node is a persistent node diffed by ModifierNodeElement.equals() — created once on first apply, updated in place on subsequent applies. There is no per-recomposition allocation, no fresh composable scope, and no parent invalidation chain, which is why Android Developers describes the system as "designed from the ground up to be far more performant" than the legacy composed { } factory (see…
What this skill does
Migrating To Modifier Node is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the threat-hunting sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/migrating-to-modifier-node/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the developer mentions Modifier.composed, custom modifier, ModifierNodeElement, Modifier.
