What it does
Deep expertise in Google's Material Design 3 system. Covers:
- Dynamic color —
ColorScheme.fromSeed, tonal palette generation, light/dark scheme derivation - Component library — the MD3 components in Jetpack Compose with correct token bindings
- Token system — color roles, typography scale, shape scale, elevation/tonal elevation
- Layout — Scaffold, NavigationBar vs NavigationRail vs NavigationDrawer by window size class
- Motion — spring-based animations, shared element transitions, container transforms
- Compliance audit — checklist scoring MD3 conformance
- Flutter — secondary coverage with
ThemeData+useMaterial3: true - Web — a limited path through
@material/web, which upstream notes is in maintenance mode
The skill installs together with its reference files (color system, component catalog, layout, navigation, theming, typography and shape), which it points to throughout.
When NOT to use
- iOS / SwiftUI — use
apple-hig-skillsorliquid-glass-skill - Cross-platform HIG patterns — use
platform-design-skills - Android design without Compose (XML Views) — this skill is Compose-first

FAQ
What does Material 3 Skill do?
Implements Google Material Design 3 (Material You) — adaptive color, tonal surfaces, dynamic theming, spring-based motion, and the component library for Jetpack Compose (primary), Flutter (secondary) and limited web. Includes token system, layout scaffolds, responsive window size classes, accessibility, and a MD3 compliance audit.
Who made Material 3 Skill?
podo (a community member) publishes it in the podo/design-agent-skills repository on GitHub.
Is Material 3 Skill free?
Yes. Material 3 Skill is open source, published by podo under the MIT license.
What comes with Material 3 Skill?
Its instructions and 1 file the agent reads only when a task needs them, such as references, examples or scripts.
Which agents can use Material 3 Skill?
Any coding agent that reads SKILL.md files, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI. The agent loads the skill when a task matches its description.
What are agent skills?
An agent skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file: instructions that teach a coding agent how to do one kind of task, and optionally files it can read while it works. The agent keeps only the skill's name and description in mind and reads the rest when a task calls for it.
How are agent skills different from MCP servers?
An MCP server gives an agent new tools to call, code that runs somewhere and returns results. A skill gives it knowledge: how to approach a task with the tools it already has. Many agents use both.
How can my agent test my Android app?
Robomori lets coding agents create, start and control Android emulators and devices from one command, so they can install your app, take screenshots and check dark mode, font sizes and languages.
Instructions to make or update an app's UI so that it adapts to different Android devices including phones, tablets, foldables, laptops, desktop, TV, Auto, and XR. It includes how to handle different window sizes, pointing devices (such as mouse) and text entry devices (such as keyboard) using the Compose MediaQuery API, and how to preserve UI, navigation, scroll, and media playback state across configuration changes (such as folding/unfolding a foldable, rotating a device, or resizing a window). It also covers multi-pane layouts using Navigation3 Scenes, adaptive UI components (such as buttons) with varying target sizes, and adaptive layouts (including navigation areas - nav rails and nav bars) using the Compose Grid and FlexBox APIs. It also covers desktop experiences with keyboard shortcuts, tooltips and custom cursors.
Use this skill to migrate your Jetpack Compose app to add adaptive edge-to-edge support and troubleshoot common issues. Use this skill to fix UI components (like buttons or lists) that are obscured by or overlapping with the navigation bar or status bar, fix IME insets, and fix system bar legibility.
Adds inking and freehand drawing capabilities to an Android app using Jetpack Ink (androidx.ink) and Compose. Use this skill when implementing stylus or touch drawing surfaces, rendering wet and dry ink strokes, configuring stock brushes (pressure pen, marker, highlighter), implementing geometry-based erasing, linear undo and redo history, or stroke persistence with Room. Delivers working Compose and ViewModel implementations. Don't use for View-based (XML) inking or programmatic custom BrushFamily creation. For custom BrushFamily creation, custom tip shapes, or behavior node graphs, suggest the ink-custom-brush-builder skill.
Creates custom BrushFamily definitions for an Android app using Jetpack Ink (androidx.ink 1.1.0-alpha03 and higher). Use this skill when configuring custom BrushTip shapes, adding pressure, tilt, speed, or noise sensitivity using BrushBehavior node graphs, creating multi-coat layered brushes, applying tiling or particle stamping textures, configuring SlidingWindowModel input smoothing, or serializing brushes. Delivers complete Kotlin BrushFamily, BrushCoat, BrushTip, BrushPaint, and BrushBehavior implementations. Don't use for View-based (XML) inking, Compose drawing surface setup, or stock brush selection. For Compose drawing surface setup, InProgressStrokes wet and dry rendering, eraser, or persistence, suggest the ink-app-builder skill.
