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 E, and why

android-cli scanned grade E with 3 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 yesterday.

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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

<!-- Append "✅" to the action header if the instruction was evaluated or "❌" if the instruction could not be evaluated -->

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 756 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill provides instructions for using the android CLI tool. The tool includes various commands for creating projects, running applications, interacting with devices, and managing the CLI environment.

Installation

If the android tool is not in the path, install it. To install run the following command:

SDK management

To manage the installation of Android SDKs and tools, use the sdk command. For example:

  • android sdk install <package>[@<version>]...: Install specific packages. Multiple packages can be specified, separated by spaces. <version> defaults to latest. For example: android sdk install platforms/android-30@2 platforms/android-34
  • android sdk update [<pkg-name>]: Update a specific package or all packages to the latest version.
  • android sdk remove <pkg-name>: Remove a package from the local SDK.
  • android sdk list --all: List installed and available SDK packages.

Project creation

Create projects from templates using the create command.

For example: android create empty-activity --name="My App" --output=./my-app

Interacting with Android devices

Use the android layout command to inspect the UI layout of an Android application in JSON format. Use the android screen command to visually inspect the UI and obtain bounding coordinates for visual regions. android layout dumps the UI as JSON. android screen capture -o <file path> saves a PNG. Both auto-select the device when only one is connected.

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.
