Purpose

This is the entry-point skill for the CometChat Android UIKit v6. It detects the project's UI stack (Kotlin Views, Jetpack Compose, or both) and routes to the correct specialized skill.

Use this skill when

The user mentions "CometChat" in an Android/Kotlin project
The user wants to add chat, messaging, or calling features to an Android app
You need to determine which CometChat skill to activate
The user asks a general CometChat question without specifying a stack

Do not use this skill when

You already know which specific skill to use (go directly to it)
The project is React, React Native, iOS, Flutter, or Web (this skill is Android-only)

1. Project Detection

Detect the UI stack by inspecting the project's Gradle files:

// Check build.gradle.kts or build.gradle for dependencies:

// Jetpack Compose stack
implementation("com.cometchat:chatuikit-compose-android:6.x")

// Kotlin Views stack
implementation("com.cometchat:chatuikit-kotlin-android:6.x")

// Core only (shared module, no UI)
implementation("com.cometchat:chatuikit-core-android:6.x")

Also check for module includes in settings.gradle:

:chatuikit-compose → Compose stack
:chatuikit-kotlin → Kotlin Views stack
:chatuikit-core → Core module

2. Architecture Overview

v6 uses a 3-module architecture:

Module	Package	Purpose
`chatuikit-core`	`com.cometchat.uikit.core`	Shared: init, login, ViewModels, events, data layer
`chatuikit-kotlin`	`com.cometchat.uikit.kotlin`	Kotlin Views UI: custom Views, RecyclerView, XML themes
`chatuikit-compose`	`com.cometchat.uikit.compose`	Compose UI: @Composable functions, CompositionLocal themes

Both UI modules depend on chatuikit-core. The core module holds all business logic.

3. Routing Table

User wants to...	Route to skill
Add CometChat to a project / Gradle setup	`cometchat-android-v6-core`
Initialize the SDK / login / logout	`cometchat-android-v6-core`
Configure UIKitSettings in detail	`cometchat-android-v6-builder-settings`
Use a component (Kotlin Views)	`cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-components`
Use a component (Jetpack Compose)	`cometchat-android-v6-compose-components`
Place components in Activities/Fragments	`cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-placement`
Place components in Compose screens	`cometchat-android-v6-compose-placement`
Change colors/fonts (Kotlin Views)	`cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-theming`
Change colors/fonts (Compose)	`cometchat-android-v6-compose-theming`
Customize bubble rendering (Kotlin Views)	`cometchat-android-v6-kotlin-customization`
Customize bubble rendering (Compose)	`cometchat-android-v6-compose-customization`
Use AI features, reactions, polls, stickers	`cometchat-android-v6-features`
Extend with custom DataSources / message types	`cometchat-android-v6-extensions`
Listen to chat/call/user events	`cometchat-android-v6-events`
Add push notifications / FCM / VoIP	`cometchat-android-v6-push`
Prepare for production release	`cometchat-android-v6-production`
Debug issues	`cometchat-android-v6-troubleshooting`
Write tests	`cometchat-android-v6-testing`

4. Quick-Start Decision Tree

New project? → cometchat-android-v6-core (Gradle setup + init)
Which UI stack?
- Jetpack Compose → cometchat-compose-* skills
- Kotlin Views (XML layouts) → cometchat-kotlin-* skills
- Both → Use the appropriate stack-specific skill for each task
What task?
- Show a component → *-components
- Style/theme → *-theming
- Customize bubbles → *-customization
- Place in navigation → *-placement

Hard rules

ALWAYS detect the project stack before routing to a stack-specific skill
NEVER mix Kotlin Views APIs with Compose APIs in the same code example
NEVER reference v5 Java UIKit APIs — v6 is Kotlin-only
When both stacks are present, ask the user which stack they're working with before proceeding
Route to the most specific skill possible — don't try to answer from this dispatcher skill

Use it

Copy one of these into your project. Installing also returns the manifest and these snippets.

Manifest

An Open Capability Manifest: the router reads it to know what this does, what it costs and when to pick it.
