What navigation-3 does

The skill gives your agent a set of guides and code recipes for Jetpack Navigation 3 in Android apps written in Kotlin and Compose. One walkthrough covers the move from Navigation 2: dependency updates, route changes, state handling, swapped UI components. A second guide stays on Navigation 2 and deals only with routes, showing how to get from strings to type-safe destinations.

Recipes are grouped by topic. The basics cover NavKey, NavDisplay and the entry provider DSL, including a saveable back stack. Deep links come in four shapes: plain static URI, path plus query arguments, a synthetic back stack, a custom matcher. Scenes handle dialogs, a bottom sheet, list-detail, two-pane and supporting pane layouts on Material 3 Adaptive. After that come animation overrides, conditional transitions, multiple back stacks behind a bottom bar, lifecycle observation, arguments passed into viewModel(), and results returned either as an event or as state.

Modular navigation appears twice, once for Hilt/Dagger and once for Koin. Watch where the migration guide starts: it takes an app already running Navigation 2, so with string routes the type-safe guide is the one to open first — otherwise you rework the steps yourself.

What it helps with

  • migrate an app from Navigation 2 to Navigation 3
  • replace string routes with type-safe destinations
  • build several back stacks behind a bottom bar
  • parse a deep link with path and query arguments
  • send a result back from one screen to another

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show me the deep link recipe with path and query arguments for Navigation 3
  • Open modular-hilt and split our navigation code with Hilt
  • Which recipe covers list-detail with Material 3 Adaptive?

Questions about navigation-3

How do I install navigation-3 in Claude Code?

Run npx skills add android/skills --skill navigation-3 -a claude-code. The skill file lands at ~/.claude/skills/navigation-3/SKILL.md.

What does navigation-3 do?

It bundles guides and code examples for Jetpack Navigation 3: migration from Navigation 2, deep links, scenes, multiple back stacks, Hilt and ViewModel wiring.

Does it cover dependency injection other than Hilt?

Yes. Modular navigation comes in two recipes, one built on Hilt or Dagger and one on Koin.

- *[Navigation 2 to Navigation 3 migration guide](references/android/guide/navigation/navigation-3/migration-guide.md)*: Step-by-step guide to migrate an Android application from Navigation 2 to Navigation 3, covering dependency updates, route changes, state management, and UI component replacements.

### Requirements

- *[Guide: Migrate to type-safe navigation in Compose](references/android/guide/navigation/type-safe-destinations.md)* : Step-by-step guide to migrating an Android application from string-based navigation to **Type-Safe Navigation** in Jetpack Compose using Jetpack Navigation 2.

## Developer documentation

- *[Navigation 3](references/android/guide/navigation/navigation-3/index.md)*.
