appium-python-expert

appium-python-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmr85/e2e-agent-skills. It costs 158 tokens per session (5,434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist guide for testing Android and iOS apps with Appium 2.x, Python, and pytest. Appium controls real or simulated phones so tests can check complete user journeys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Android and iOS drivers, write pytest tests, organize screens with the Page Object Model, automate gestures, inspect elements, create reports, and run tests in CI.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent structure for mobile end-to-end tests instead of leaving device setup, screen interaction, and test organization to guesswork.

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

appium-python-expert 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 1mo 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.

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.
