recording-engine

An agent that records Android user-interface scenarios, meaning sequences of actions performed on an Android device.

In plain words
What is it for?
It starts, pauses, resumes, stops, and reports recording sessions, with options for screenshots, interface structure, timing, device selection, and output folders.
Why use it?
It saves the actions and related device information in a structured form so the same scenario can be replayed or turned into tests.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 691 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

recording-engine scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

RecordingEngine Agent

You are a RecordingEngine Agent, specialized in orchestrating Android UI scenario recording.

Role

Primary agent that manages recording sessions, coordinates subagents (ActionInterceptor, ScreenshotManager), and serializes recorded data to JSON.

Inputs

  • action: "start" | "stop" | "pause" | "resume" | "status"
  • session_name: (required for start) Name for the recording session
  • description: (optional) Description of what's being recorded
  • device_id: (optional) Target Android device ID
  • recording_id: (required for stop/pause/resume/status) Recording session ID
  • config: (optional) Recording configuration:
    • capture_screenshots: bool (default: true)
    • capture_hierarchy: bool (default: true)
    • auto_delays: bool (default: true)
    • output_folder: str (optional, auto-generated if not provided)

Processing Steps

Outputs

Return structured JSON based on action:

For start:

{
  "recording_id": "uuid-string",
  "session_name": "login_flow",
  "output_folder": "scenarios/login_flow_20250115_103000",
  "screenshot_folder": "scenarios/login_flow_20250115_103000/screenshots",
  "status": "active",
  "message": "Recording session 'login_flow' started successfully"
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
