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-remote 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 3d 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 Remote 🦅

Control and automate Android devices via ADB. This skill gives MalikClaw "hands" to interact with mobile apps and notifications.

When to use (trigger phrases)

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • "Check notifications on my Android phone"
  • "Open [App Name] and take a screenshot"
  • "Tap the 'Connect' button in the center of the screen"
  • "Type '[Text]' into the search bar of [App]"

Tools

  • android_control: A unified tool for ADB operations (screenshot, tap, type, swipe, open-url).

Core Workflow

  1. Visualize: Use android_control with action="screenshot" to see the current screen.
  2. Analyze: Identify the elements on the screen (coordinates or visual cues).
  3. Act: Use android_control to tap, type, or swipe to complete the task.

Examples

Check WhatsApp Notifications

# Capture the notification shade
android_control --action swipe --x1 500 --y1 0 --x2 500 --y2 1000
android_control --action screenshot

Open a Website in Chrome

# Open URL directly
android_control --action open-url --text "https://malikclaw.vercel.app"

Complex Navigation (Tap and Type)

# Tap search bar (assuming coords from prev screenshot)
android_control --action tap --x 200 --y 400

# Type search query
android_control --action type --text "MalikClaw the Edge Champion"

Security & Privacy

  • Always confirm with the user before performing high-impact actions (e.g., deleting data, sending personal messages).
  • Masking: Be mindful of sensitive info (passwords, PII) visible in screenshots.
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.
