Use this skill to fix unstable Jetpack Compose types once a stability diagnosis has identified them. Covers the three-tier strategy — make the type truly stable with val plus immutable fields, mark with @Immutable or @Stable when the source is owned, and use stabilityConfigurationFiles for third-party or Java types. Explains the compiler-level difference between @Immutable and @Stable (static expression promotion), kotlinx.collections.immutable for List/Set/Map parameters, and the StableHolder wrapper escape hatch. Use when the developer asks how to stabilize a User class, a List parameter, java.time.LocalDateTime, a Flow parameter, or when the compiler report shows unstable params and the developer wants the fix. The diagnostic step lives in a sibling skill.

From the source SKILL.md

Once a diagnosis (see ../diagnosing-compose-stability/SKILL.md) has named the unstable types, this skill walks Claude through fixing them. The strategy is a strict three-tier waterfall: (1) make the type truly stable by structural rewrite (val + immutable fields) — no annotation needed; (2) annotate with @Immutable or @Stable when the source is owned and the contract is honored; (3) use stabilityConfigurationFile for third-party or Java types. DO NOT invert this order — annotations are a contract, not a magic spell.

What this skill does

Stabilizing Compose Types is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the tools-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/stabilizing-compose-types/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the developer asks how to stabilize a User class, a List parameter, java.time.
