kp-anti-patterns

One-line summary

A reference catalog of Kotlin-specific anti-patterns — language and Coroutines smells that aren't about design patterns but about misusing Kotlin's features.

When to use this skill

• Code review on Kotlin code, especially code by developers transitioning from Java.
• Spotting smells during refactoring.
• Onboarding teammates to the team's Kotlin conventions.
• Suspecting a specific pattern of misuse (!!, lateinit, scope functions, Coroutines).

When NOT to use this skill

• Domain-modeling smells → ddd-anti-patterns.
• Design-pattern misuse → gof-review and the per-pattern skills.
• General code quality issues that aren't Kotlin-specific (long methods, poor naming) — handled by general code review, not this catalog.
