Development

This skill provides Bitwarden Android implementation patterns, gotchas, and code templates for Claude Code. It consists of two content files:

• SKILL.md - Quick reference for patterns, anti-patterns, and gotchas
• templates.md - Copy-pasteable code templates for all layer types

Making Changes

This skill follows Semantic Versioning:

• Patch (0.1.x): Typo fixes, minor clarifications, template corrections
• Minor (0.x.0): New patterns, new templates, expanded coverage areas
• Major (x.0.0): Structural changes, pattern overhauls, breaking reorganizations

When making changes:

1. Update the relevant content in SKILL.md and/or templates.md
2. Bump the version field in the SKILL.md YAML frontmatter
3. Add an entry to CHANGELOG.md under the appropriate version heading

Testing Locally

To test the skill locally with Claude Code:

# From the repository root, invoke Claude Code and trigger the skill
claude "How do I implement a ViewModel?"

Verify that:

• The skill triggers on expected phrases
• Templates render correctly
• Pattern references are accurate against the current codebase

Pull Requests

All pull requests that modify skill content must include:

1. A version bump in the SKILL.md frontmatter
2. A corresponding CHANGELOG.md entry
3. Verification that templates compile against the current codebase patterns
