cometchat-android-v5-core

Companion skills: cometchat-android-v5-components provides the component catalog (what exists); cometchat-android-v5-placement covers where to put chat in your app; cometchat-android-v5-theming covers visual customization.

Purpose

This is the foundational skill for every CometChat Android UI Kit v5 integration. It teaches how CometChat works on Android — initialization, login, the UIKitSettings builder, Gradle dependency setup, manifest permissions, and the anti-patterns that silently break integrations.

Read this skill first, before any component or placement skill.
