## What it is
A collection of static analysis rules for Jetpack Compose, shipped as custom ktlint rules and a Detekt plugin, that detect common Compose pitfalls before code review. Built by Twitter to help large teams adopt Compose with consistent, healthy patterns.

## Use cases
- lint jetpack compose code for common pitfalls
- catch compose recomposition performance issues early
- enforce compose best practices across an android team
- add compose rules to ktlint
- run compose checks with detekt
- flag composable antipatterns before human code review

## When to choose
- Your Android team is adopting Jetpack Compose and wants automated enforcement of composable best practices
- You already use ktlint or Detekt and want Compose-specific rules integrated into your existing setup
- You want Compose issues surfaced in the build pipeline rather than relying on reviewers to catch them

## When to avoid
- Your project does not use Jetpack Compose, e.g. view-based Android or non-UI Kotlin code
- You need rules for Android's own lint system rather than ktlint or Detekt
- You need runtime fixes or behavior changes - these are purely static checks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: linter, code-review
- domain: developer-tools, mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
