This skill guides through the process of migrating an existing Android XML View
to Jetpack Compose. It performs a stable, safe and visually consistent
transition by following a structured, 10-step methodology. This skill migrates
UI (XML to Jetpack Compose) only.

## Objective

To systematically convert a single legacy XML layout into modern, declarative
Jetpack Compose UI while maintaining pixel-perfect visual parity and functional
integrity.

## Summary of the 10-step migration process

1. **Identify the optimal XML candidate for migration**
