run-automation-suite

run-automation-suite is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kobiton/automate. It costs 81 tokens per session (5,820 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for running local Appium mobile-test scripts on Kobiton’s cloud device service. It helps choose the app and device, check the test settings, run the script, and return results such as logs or screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test APK or IPA apps, select Kobiton devices, run JavaScript, Python, Java, and other supported Appium scripts, and inspect the resulting session artifacts.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual setup needed to run one local test script against a real remote phone or tablet.

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

run-automation-suite 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/chromeless-launcher-linux.sh, scripts/chromeless-launcher-mac.sh, scripts/chromeless-launcher-windows.ps1, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Run Automation Suite

Overview

Execute Appium-based mobile test automation suites on Kobiton's device cloud. Given a local Appium test script, this skill identifies the target app, selects an available device, parses and reconciles capabilities, runs the script in the background, and surfaces the resulting session URL plus artifacts (video, logs, screenshots, reports).

Use this skill when the user asks to run mobile tests, validate an APK or IPA across real devices, or trigger a Kobiton-hosted automation run from a local script directory.

Prerequisites

Runs on any OS, but needs a persistent local filesystem — its whole job is running the user's local Appium script, plus that script's own language runtime. Where the host can't provide those, route to create-test-run to execute a test case already saved in Kobiton instead. See the Skill compatibility matrix in CLAUDE.md.

Before invoking this skill, ensure:

  • Kobiton MCP connection - the Kobiton MCP server is reachable (default api.kobiton.com/mcp; check .mcp.json for the configured endpoint).
  • Local Appium test script - a runnable Appium WebDriver script (.js, .ts, .py, .java, .kt, .cs, .rb) referencing desired capabilities for the target platform.
  • Runtime installed locally - Node.js + npm/npx, Python + pip, Java + mvn/gradle, .NET SDK, or Ruby + bundle, whichever your test script uses.
  • App build (or store reference) - either a local .apk / .ipa / .zip build artifact for upload, or a kobiton-store:vXXXXX reference for an existing upload.
  • Kobiton account - credentials with device access for the target platform (Android / iOS) and remaining session quota.

Authentication

This skill calls tools served by the Kobiton MCP server at api.kobiton.com/mcp. Two authentication configurations ship with the plugin; one of them must be active before any MCP tool will respond:

Config file Auth mechanism When to use
.mcp.json (default) OAuth 2.1 browser flow Interactive AI-CLI session for an end user
.mcp.apikey-example.json Basic auth header — Authorization: Basic base64(username:apikey) from the KOBITON_AUTH env var CI / headless / scripted invocations; copy this file over .mcp.json

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.
