Compose Graphics (Advanced Android Visuals)

An advanced recipe skill for building Material 3 Expressive motion, AGSL shaders, and Canvas generative art in Jetpack Compose.

Dev & CodingAdvanced★ 249⑂ 19AI score 9/10Last updated: Jul 31, 2026

What it does

  • API decision table: instantly picks the right tool — spring physics, pixel shaders, Canvas drawing, or graphicsLayer render effects.
  • Material 3 Expressive: expressive() vs standard() motion schemes, spatial vs effects tokens (fast/default/slow), spring tuning recipes, and shape morphing with androidx.graphics.shapes.
  • AGSL shaders (Android 13+): ready-to-use sources for touch ripple, holographic gradient, and liquid glass (chromatic aberration + blur), plus RuntimeShader + Modifier.graphicsLayer binding and mandatory SDK 33 gating with fallbacks.
  • Canvas/DrawScope: animated sine wave, 50-particle system, flow fields, and correct frame loops with withFrameMillis.
  • Five anti-patterns: Expressive everywhere, ungated RuntimeShader, Canvas reading state directly, chaining four shaders, allocating inside DrawScope.

Who it's for

  • Android developers building UI with Jetpack Compose.
  • Teams polishing hero screens, onboarding flows, or brand-defining interactions.
  • Anyone trying AGSL or custom Canvas drawing for the first time who wants to dodge performance and compatibility traps.

Example uses

  1. "Make this detail card expand with a slightly overshooting Expressive spring" → generates updateTransition + slowSpatialSpec() code.
  2. "Give this panel a liquid-glass look" → chromatic aberration AGSL shader plus Modifier.blur(), with an Android 12 fallback.
  3. "Add a drifting particle background to the loading screen" → Canvas particle pool with a remembered, rewound Path.

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/_jutsu/compose-graphics folder from the GitHub repo AThevon/genjutsu into my ~/.claude/skills/compose-graphics/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/AThevon/genjutsu.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r genjutsu/skills/_jutsu/compose-graphics ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/AThevon/genjutsu.git
  3. Create the skills folder if needed: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r genjutsu/skills/_jutsu/compose-graphics ~/.claude/skills/
  5. (Recommended) also copy the base skill it references: cp -r genjutsu/skills/_jutsu/compose-motion ~/.claude/skills/
  6. Restart Claude Code and run /skills to confirm compose-graphics is listed.
  7. Try a prompt like "Write an AGSL ripple shader for Compose" — the skill loads automatically.
