aosp-runtime

aosp-runtime is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aospbooks/aosp-internal-book. It costs 80 tokens per session (313 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for the Android Runtime, the part of Android that runs app code, and the Native Bridge, which can help code built for one processor type run on another. It covers topics such as compilation, memory cleanup, class loading, and native-code translation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when investigating ART, dex2oat, just-in-time or ahead-of-time compilation, garbage collection, JNI, or ARM code running on x86 devices.
Why use it?
It helps explain Android runtime behavior that is difficult to understand from application code alone. It also covers performance and compatibility trade-offs between processor architectures.

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-runtime 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

AOSP Part V — Runtime

The Android Runtime (ART) and the binary translation layer that lets arm-only native code run on x86_64 devices.

Chapters in this Part

  • 18-art-runtime.md — dex2oat, AOT/JIT, baseline profiles, GC (concurrent copying), oat/vdex/odex files, class loaders, JNI bridge
  • 19-native-bridge.md — cross-architecture native code execution, Houdini → Berberis, intercepting libc/JNI calls, performance trade-offs

When to load which chapter

  • Question mentions ART, dex2oat, AOT, JIT, baseline profiles, GC, oat/vdex/odex, JNI internals → 18-art-runtime.md
  • Question mentions Berberis, Houdini, native bridge, ARM-on-x86, binary translation → 19-native-bridge.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.
