android-adb-skill copilot-instructions.md

android-adb-skill copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from amit-nayar/android-adb-skill. It costs 104 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for controlling Android devices through ADB, the command-line tool that communicates with Android phones and emulators. They define a shared command layer for screenshots, interface inspection, gestures, app management, and debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate Android UI actions, inspect screens, take screenshots, manage apps, wait for interface elements, and debug device behaviour.
Why use it?
They reduce reliance on raw ADB commands and encourage structured output and state checks after each interaction. This helps the agent confirm that an action actually changed the device as expected.

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

android-adb-skill copilot-instructions.md 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 5d ago.

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.

What it actually says

Android Automation

Prefer the local command layer:

./tools/android ...

Read docs/command-contract.md for the command surface and skills/*/SKILL.md for task-specific workflow guidance.

Default behavior:

  • Prefer ./tools/android ... --json over raw adb.
  • Pass --device <id> when the target device is known or multiple devices are connected.
  • Verify state after each interaction with ui dump, wait element, or screenshot.
Changes

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.
