How to install and use this skill in your preferred environment.

Models & Context
Which AI models and context windows work best with this skill.
Recommended Models
Works well with Claude Sonnet or GPT-4o. Migration-heavy tasks (XML → Compose, AGP upgrades) benefit from stronger reasoning over multi-file edits.
Context Window
SKILL.md is a compact index (~3KB). Individual sub-skills load on demand; AGP and build-file migrations benefit from 64K+ to hold Gradle scripts in context.
