适用于构建健壮、高效、可维护应用程序的惯用 Kotlin 模式与最佳实践。
本技能在七个关键领域强制执行惯用的 Kotlin 约定:使用类型系统和安全调用运算符实现空安全;通过数据类的 val 和 copy() 实现不可变性;使用密封类和接口实现穷举类型层次结构;使用协程和 Flow 实现结构化并发;使用扩展函数在不使用继承的情况下添加行为;使用 @DslMarker 和 lambda 接收器构建类型安全的 DSL;以及使用 Gradle Kotlin DSL 进行构建配置。
使用 Elvis 运算符实现空安全:
kotlinfun getUserEmail(userId: String): String { val user = userRepository.findById(userId) return user?.email ?: "unknown@example.com" }
使用密封类处理穷举结果:
kotlinsealed class Result<out T> { data class Success<T>(val data: T) : Result<T>() data class Failure(val error: AppError) : Result<Nothing>() data object Loading : Result<Nothing>() }
使用 async/await 实现结构化并发:
kotlinsuspend fun fetchUserWithPosts(userId: String): UserProfile = coroutineScope { val user = async { userService.getUser(userId) } val posts = async { postService.getUserPosts(userId) } UserProfile(user = user.await(), posts = posts.await()) }
Kotlin 的类型系统区分可空和不可空类型。充分利用它。
kotlin// Good: Use non-nullable types by default fun getUser(id: String): User { return userRepository.findById(id) ?: throw UserNotFoundException("User $id not found") } // Good: Safe calls and Elvis operator fun getUserEmail(userId: String): String { val user = userRepository.findById(userId) return user?.email ?: "unknown@example.com" } // Bad: Force-unwrapping nullable types fun getUserEmail(userId: String): String { val user = userRepository.findById(userId) return user!!.email // Throws NPE if null }
优先使用 val 而非 var,优先使用不可变集合而非可变集合。
kotlin// Good: Immutable data data class User( val id: String, val name: String, val email: String, ) // Good: Transform with copy() fun updateEmail(user: User, newEmail: String): User = user.copy(email = newEmail) // Good: Immutable collections val users: List<User> = listOf(user1, user2) val filtered = users.filter { it.email.isNotBlank() } // Bad: Mutable state var currentUser: User? = null // Avoid mutable global state val mutableUsers = mutableListOf<User>() // Avoid unless truly needed
使用表达式体编写简洁、可读的函数。
kotlin// Good: Expression body fun isAdult(age: Int): Boolean = age >= 18 fun formatFullName(first: String, last: String): String = "$first $last".trim() fun User.displayName(): String = name.ifBlank { email.substringBefore('@') } // Good: When as expression fun statusMessage(code: Int): String = when (code) { 200 -> "OK" 404 -> "Not Found" 500 -> "Internal Server Error" else -> "Unknown status: $code" } // Bad: Unnecessary block body fun isAdult(age: Int): Boolean { return age >= 18 }
使用数据类表示主要包含数据的类型。
kotlin// Good: Data class with copy, equals, hashCode, toString data class CreateUserRequest( val name: String, val email: String, val role: Role = Role.USER, ) // Good: Value class for type safety (zero overhead at runtime) @JvmInline value class UserId(val value: String) { init { require(value.isNotBlank()) { "UserId cannot be blank" } } } @JvmInline value class Email(val value: String) { init { require('@' in value) { "Invalid email: $value" } } } fun getUser(id: UserId): User = userRepository.findById(id)
kotlin// Good: Sealed class for exhaustive when sealed class Result<out T> { data class Success<T>(val data: T) : Result<T>() data class Failure(val error: AppError) : Result<Nothing>() data object Loading : Result<Nothing>() } fun <T> Result<T>.getOrNull(): T? = when (this) { is Result.Success -> data is Result.Failure -> null is Result.Loading -> null } fun <T> Result<T>.getOrThrow(): T = when (this) { is Result.Success -> data is Result.Failure -> throw error.toException() is Result.Loading -> throw IllegalStateException("Still loading") }
kotlinsealed interface ApiError { val message: String data class NotFound(override val message: String) : ApiError data class Unauthorized(override val message: String) : ApiError data class Validation( override val message: String, val field: String, ) : ApiError data class Internal( override val message: String, val cause: Throwable? = null, ) : ApiError } fun ApiError.toStatusCode(): Int = when (this) { is ApiError.NotFound -> 404 is ApiError.Unauthorized -> 401 is ApiError.Validation -> 422 is ApiError.Internal -> 500 }
kotlin// let: Transform nullable or scoped result val length: Int? = name?.let { it.trim().length } // apply: Configure an object (returns the object) val user = User().apply { name = "Alice" email = "alice@example.com" } // also: Side effects (returns the object) val user = createUser(request).also { logger.info("Created user: ${it.id}") } // run: Execute a block with receiver (returns result) val result = connection.run { prepareStatement(sql) executeQuery() } // with: Non-extension form of run val csv = with(StringBuilder()) { appendLine("name,email") users.forEach { appendLine("${it.name},${it.email}") } toString() }
kotlin// Bad: Nesting scope functions user?.let { u -> u.address?.let { addr -> addr.city?.let { city -> println(city) // Hard to read } } } // Good: Chain safe calls instead val city = user?.address?.city city?.let { println(it) }
kotlin// Good: Domain-specific extensions fun String.toSlug(): String = lowercase() .replace(Regex("[^a-z0-9\\s-]"), "") .replace(Regex("\\s+"), "-") .trim('-') fun Instant.toLocalDate(zone: ZoneId = ZoneId.systemDefault()): LocalDate = atZone(zone).toLocalDate() // Good: Collection extensions fun <T> List<T>.second(): T = this[1] fun <T> List<T>.secondOrNull(): T? = getOrNull(1) // Good: Scoped extensions (not polluting global namespace) class UserService { private fun User.isActive(): Boolean = status == Status.ACTIVE && lastLogin.isAfter(Instant.now().minus(30, ChronoUnit.DAYS)) fun getActiveUsers(): List<User> = userRepository.findAll().filter { it.isActive() } }
kotlin// Good: Structured concurrency with coroutineScope suspend fun fetchUserWithPosts(userId: String): UserProfile = coroutineScope { val userDeferred = async { userService.getUser(userId) } val postsDeferred = async { postService.getUserPosts(userId) } UserProfile( user = userDeferred.await(), posts = postsDeferred.await(), ) } // Good: supervisorScope when children can fail independently suspend fun fetchDashboard(userId: String): Dashboard = supervisorScope { val user = async { userService.getUser(userId) } val notifications = async { notificationService.getRecent(userId) } val recommendations = async { recommendationService.getFor(userId) } Dashboard( user = user.await(), notifications = try { notifications.await() } catch (e: CancellationException) { throw e } catch (e: Exception) { emptyList() }, recommendations = try { recommendations.await() } catch (e: CancellationException) { throw e } catch (e: Exception) { emptyList() }, ) }
kotlin// Good: Cold flow with proper error handling fun observeUsers(): Flow<List<User>> = flow { while (currentCoroutineContext().isActive) { val users = userRepository.findAll() emit(users) delay(5.seconds) } }.catch { e -> logger.error("Error observing users", e) emit(emptyList()) } // Good: Flow operators fun searchUsers(query: Flow<String>): Flow<List<User>> = query .debounce(300.milliseconds) .distinctUntilChanged() .filter { it.length >= 2 } .mapLatest { q -> userRepository.search(q) } .catch { emit(emptyList()) }
kotlin// Good: Respect cancellation suspend fun processItems(items: List<Item>) { items.forEach { item -> ensureActive() // Check cancellation before expensive work processItem(item) } } // Good: Cleanup with try/finally suspend fun acquireAndProcess() { val resource = acquireResource() try { resource.process() } finally { withContext(NonCancellable) { resource.release() // Always release, even on cancellation } } }
kotlin// Lazy initialization val expensiveData: List<User> by lazy { userRepository.findAll() } // Observable property var name: String by Delegates.observable("initial") { _, old, new -> logger.info("Name changed from '$old' to '$new'") } // Map-backed properties class Config(private val map: Map<String, Any?>) { val host: String by map val port: Int by map val debug: Boolean by map } val config = Config(mapOf("host" to "localhost", "port" to 8080, "debug" to true))
kotlin// Good: Delegate interface implementation class LoggingUserRepository( private val delegate: UserRepository, private val logger: Logger, ) : UserRepository by delegate { // Only override what you need to add logging to override suspend fun findById(id: String): User? { logger.info("Finding user by id: $id") return delegate.findById(id).also { logger.info("Found user: ${it?.name ?: "null"}") } } }
kotlin// Good: DSL with @DslMarker @DslMarker annotation class HtmlDsl @HtmlDsl class HTML { private val children = mutableListOf<Element>() fun head(init: Head.() -> Unit) { children += Head().apply(init) } fun body(init: Body.() -> Unit) { children += Body().apply(init) } override fun toString(): String = children.joinToString("\n") } fun html(init: HTML.() -> Unit): HTML = HTML().apply(init) // Usage val page = html { head { title("My Page") } body { h1("Welcome") p("Hello, World!") } }
kotlindata class ServerConfig( val host: String = "0.0.0.0", val port: Int = 8080, val ssl: SslConfig? = null, val database: DatabaseConfig? = null, ) data class SslConfig(val certPath: String, val keyPath: String) data class DatabaseConfig(val url: String, val maxPoolSize: Int = 10) class ServerConfigBuilder { var host: String = "0.0.0.0" var port: Int = 8080 private var ssl: SslConfig? = null private var database: DatabaseConfig? = null fun ssl(certPath: String, keyPath: String) { ssl = SslConfig(certPath, keyPath) } fun database(url: String, maxPoolSize: Int = 10) { database = DatabaseConfig(url, maxPoolSize) } fun build(): ServerConfig = ServerConfig(host, port, ssl, database) } fun serverConfig(init: ServerConfigBuilder.() -> Unit): ServerConfig = ServerConfigBuilder().apply(init).build() // Usage val config = serverConfig { host = "0.0.0.0" port = 443 ssl("/certs/cert.pem", "/certs/key.pem") database("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb", maxPoolSize = 20) }
kotlin// Good: Use sequences for large collections with multiple operations val result = users.asSequence() .filter { it.isActive } .map { it.email } .filter { it.endsWith("@company.com") } .take(10) .toList() // Good: Generate infinite sequences val fibonacci: Sequence<Long> = sequence { var a = 0L var b = 1L while (true) { yield(a) val next = a + b a = b b = next } } val first20 = fibonacci.take(20).toList()

| 惯用法 | 描述 | |-------|-------------| | val 优于 var | 优先使用不可变变量 | | data class | 用于具有 equals/hashCode/copy 的值对象 | | sealed class/interface | 用于受限的类型层次结构 | | value class | 用于零开销的类型安全包装器 | | 表达式 when | 穷举模式匹配 | | 安全调用 ?. | 空安全的成员访问 | | Elvis ?: | 为可空类型提供默认值 | | let/apply/also/run/with | 用于编写简洁代码的作用域函数 | | 扩展函数 | 在不使用继承的情况下添加行为 | | copy() | 数据类上的不可变更新 | | require/check | 前置条件断言 | | 协程 async/await | 结构化并发执行 | | Flow | 冷响应式流 | | sequence | 惰性求值 | | 委托 by | 在不使用继承的情况下重用实现 |
kotlin// Bad: Force-unwrapping nullable types val name = user!!.name // Bad: Platform type leakage from Java fun getLength(s: String) = s.length // Safe fun getLength(s: String?) = s?.length ?: 0 // Handle nulls from Java // Bad: Mutable data classes data class MutableUser(var name: String, var email: String) // Bad: Using exceptions for control flow try { val user = findUser(id) } catch (e: NotFoundException) { // Don't use exceptions for expected cases } // Good: Use nullable return or Result val user: User? = findUserOrNull(id) // Bad: Ignoring coroutine scope GlobalScope.launch { /* Avoid GlobalScope */ } // Good: Use structured concurrency coroutineScope { launch { /* Properly scoped */ } } // Bad: Deeply nested scope functions user?.let { u -> u.address?.let { a -> a.city?.let { c -> process(c) } } } // Good: Direct null-safe chain user?.address?.city?.let { process(it) }

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 22 cases were attempted. The headline lift of +5 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 22 comparable cases.
Without the skill loaded, the model failed this case. With it loaded, the same prompt on the same model passed. This is one improved case from the latest verified run; every case, including any that regressed, is in the table above.
Other measured skills in the registry, with their headline benchmark lift.
