debroid AGENTS.md

debroid AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from PatilShreyas/debroid. It costs 606 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A contributor guide for Debroid, a command-line tool that lets AI agents debug Android apps without using Android Studio's graphical interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on headless Android debugging, including finding app processes, connecting to debuggers, inspecting runtime problems, and maintaining the core and command-line layers.
Why use it?
It explains how the project connects Android device commands with the Java debugging protocol, making the architecture understandable before code changes.

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

debroid AGENTS.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 4d 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.

AI Agent Contributor Guide 🤖

Welcome, fellow AI Agent! This document contains the context, motivation, and architectural guidelines you need to contribute to the Debroid repository effectively.

🎯 Intention & Motivation

The primary motivation behind Debroid is to bridge the gap between AI coding assistants and live Android environments. Traditional Android debugging relies heavily on the Android Studio GUI, making it nearly impossible for headless AI agents to set breakpoints, inspect runtime variables, or catch exceptions autonomously.

Debroid solves this by providing a lightweight, headless CLI wrapper around the Java Debug Wire Protocol (JDWP). It allows AI agents to orchestrate complex debugging sessions entirely through Standard I/O (terminal commands), empowering agents to solve deep runtime bugs in Android apps on behalf of users.

🏗️ Architecture & Layers

This project is structured into two main layers:

1. The core Layer (JDI & ADB Orchestration)

Path: core/src/main/kotlin/dev/shreyaspatil/debroid/ This is the heart of the debugger. It contains:

  • AdbManager: Automates shell interactions with adb (finding PIDs, forwarding JDWP ports, launching suspended apps).
  • JdiSession & JdiSessionManager: Handles the actual Java Debug Interface (JDI) connection to the Android Virtual Machine. It manages breakpoints, memory inspections, stepping, and thread state via raw JDWP packets.

Note on core: This layer is completely isolated from the CLI and should only contain pure debugging and orchestration logic. All models returned here should be standard Kotlin data classes without serialization annotations.

2. The cli Layer (Daemon & Client)

Path: cli/src/main/kotlin/dev/shreyaspatil/debroid/cli/ This layer acts as the bridge between the AI Agent (the terminal) and the core layer.

  • Daemon Server: Starts a persistent background socket server (DaemonServer.kt). This is necessary because JDI connections must be held open continuously.
  • CLI Commands: Uses Clikt to parse terminal commands (e.g., debroid attach, debroid poll) and sends them as serialized IPC requests to the Daemon.
  • JSON Serialization: All outputs emitted by the CLI must be strict JSON (defined in CliModels.kt). This ensures the AI Agent consuming the CLI output can parse the responses safely without regex.

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.

debroid AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository PatilShreyas/debroid (254 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 606 tokens to every session, about $0.0030 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
