aosp-framework-core

aosp-framework-core is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aospbooks/aosp-internal-book. It costs 156 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference guide to the Java and Kotlin parts of Android that manage app activities, windows, displays, views, and system services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reasoning about system_server startup, intents, activity and window lifecycles, displays, rendering, hardware acceleration, and accessibility.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand how Android starts system services, matches app requests, manages screens, draws interfaces, and handles input.

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

aosp-framework-core 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 6d 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

AOSP Part VI — Framework Core

The Java/Kotlin layer running inside system_server that manages activities, windows, displays, and the View tree apps render into.

Chapters in this Part

  • 20-system-server.md — SystemServer.java, the four boot phases, service registration, Watchdog, lifecycle management, shutdown sequence
  • 21-intent-system.md — Intent matching, IntentFilter, IntentResolver, PackageManager queries, package visibility, intent verification
  • 22-activity-and-window.md — ActivityTaskManagerService, WindowManagerService, activity lifecycle state machine, task/stack model, splash screens
  • 23-window-system.md — WindowState, SurfaceControl, input dispatching, focus tracking, IME insets, transitions
  • 24-display-system.md — DisplayManagerService, logical vs. physical displays, color modes, HDR, brightness curves, refresh-rate switching
  • 25-view-system.md — View hierarchy, measure/layout/draw, Canvas/RenderNode, hardware acceleration, accessibility hooks

When to load which chapter

  • Question mentions system_server, boot phases, ServiceManager, Watchdog → 20-system-server.md
  • Question mentions Intent matching, IntentFilter, IntentResolver, package visibility → 21-intent-system.md
  • Question mentions ATM, WMS, activity lifecycle, splash screen, task/stack → 22-activity-and-window.md
  • Question mentions WindowState, SurfaceControl, input dispatch, focus, IME → 23-window-system.md
  • Question mentions DisplayManager, displays, HDR, refresh rate, brightness → 24-display-system.md
  • Question mentions View, ViewGroup, measure/layout/draw, Canvas, RenderNode → 25-view-system.md

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.
