android-emulator

android-emulator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from callstack/agent-device. It costs 65 tokens per session (346 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking native, React Native, Expo, and Flutter apps on an Android Emulator, a virtual Android device. It uses agent-device to launch apps, inspect screens, interact with controls, and collect evidence of failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open an app, tap and type through workflows, scroll, inspect the interface, validate changes, reproduce bugs, and gather screenshots or other failure evidence.
Why use it?
It lets an agent verify how an app behaves on Android instead of relying only on source-code inspection. This helps reproduce user flows and confirm whether a change works on a live device.

About the project

callstack/agent-device is a toolset that lets coding agents inspect, control, debug, and verify running apps on mobile, desktop, web, and TV platforms. Developers use its CLI, MCP server, or Node.js API to test application changes on simulators, emulators, physical devices, and remote device clouds. The catalogue entries provide agent integrations and instructions for using it.

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-emulator 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 today.

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 Emulator

Require the agent-device CLI to be installed separately before driving an emulator:

npm install -g agent-device@latest

Treat installation and upgrades as user-owned setup steps. Do not run that command autonomously or substitute a mutable npx -y agent-device@latest invocation.

For a normal app-driving task, start immediately. Do not probe first with --help, --version, devices, appstate, snapshot, or screenshot. Target Android explicitly when opening an app or package id:

agent-device open <app-or-package-id> --platform android --foreground

Follow the initial interactive snapshot and corrective error hints. If the shell reports that agent-device is unavailable, stop and ask the user to install it or expose their existing installation on PATH.

Only when the task is specialized or a command shape is unclear, read the relevant version-matched help topic:

agent-device help validate        # engineering validation and build freshness
agent-device help debugging       # screenshots, logs, traces, video, and failures
agent-device help react-native    # React Native and Expo runtime guidance
agent-device help react-devtools  # React components, props/state/hooks, render profiling
agent-device help scripting       # durable replay and CI workflows

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.
