# Compose: side effects

Get effects, snackbars and navigation right in Compose

## What this does

Compose UI code often needs to do something besides draw: show a snackbar, move to another screen, move focus, send an analytics event. Getting those right is fiddly. This is guidance for writing and reviewing that kind of code, so a reviewer or an author has something to check against.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Review effect code before it ships
- Sort out which effect belongs where
- Check how events and flows get collected in UI

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Compose: side effects

This covers the side-effect side of Jetpack Compose: LaunchedEffect, DisposableEffect, SideEffect, rememberCoroutineScope, rememberUpdatedState and snapshotFlow, along with the things they usually serve - snackbars, navigation, focus requests, analytics, and collecting event Flows.

It is a technique-layer skill rather than one tied to a particular codebase. It is meant to sit alongside the codebase-specific compose-expert, which carries the local conventions.

## Questions

### Is Compose: side effects safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Compose: side effects and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 6cd4de51aa74, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/compose-side-effects.

### How do I install Compose: side effects?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/compose-side-effects on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up.
