Compose Multiplatform Resources

Use this skill when implementing or reviewing user-facing resources in shared Compose UI (sharedUI / commonMain).

Goals

• No hardcoded user-facing strings or raw asset paths in shared UI
• Correct composeResources layout and generated Res usage
• Clear split vs platform-native resource systems

Prefer official defaults

• Put shared Compose resources under src/commonMain/composeResources/ (or the module’s documented composeResources root).
• Access via generated Res (stringResource(Res.string.*), painterResource(Res.drawable.*), etc.).
• Use qualifiers (locale, theme, density) per Compose Multiplatform resources docs.
• Keep Android res/ and iOS asset catalogs for platform-only needs (launcher icons, system notifications, native screens).
