compose-state-authoring

Compose state authoring Not every remember { … } belongs here. This skill covers local UI state ( remember { mutableStateOf(…) } , mutableStateListOf / mutableStateMapOf ) and @ReadOnlyComposable . Other remembered APIs live in focused skills: rememberCoroutineScope / rememberUpdatedState → compose-side-effects rememberLazyListState / rememberScrollState used for frame-rate reads → compose-state-deferred-reads Focus navigation, focus state, FocusRequester ownership, behavior → compose-focus-navigation Core principle A @Composable is a function the runtime re-runs whenever its inputs change. Writing local state correctly comes down to two questions: Mutable local state — does my var survive recomposition and trigger it? If not, it silently resets on every recompose and writes are invisible. What kind of composable is this? — do I mutate composition (place layout nodes, allocate slots, remember ) or only read it? If only read, @ReadOnlyComposable lets the runtime skip work. Get either wrong and the symptoms are subtle: state that vanishes or optimizations that don't apply.
