android-performance-observability

android-performance-observability is a skill for Codex from krutikJain/android-agent-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,131 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for measuring Android app startup, screen rendering, memory use, scrolling smoothness, crashes, and other performance signals. It uses traces and production health data to identify the source of problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate startup time, dropped frames, scrolling, memory, app-not-responding errors, crashes, battery use, and production performance changes.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with measurements that show whether an app is slow, janky, memory-heavy, or crashing.

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-performance-observability 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run_examples.sh), 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.

Android Performance Observability

When To Use

  • Use this skill when the request is about: android performance profiling, baseline profile or macrobenchmark, app startup issue android.
  • Primary outcome: Measure startup, rendering, memory, jank, vitals, logs, and crash signals for Android apps with actionable traces.
  • Read references/patterns.md when you need the measurement ladder for startup, jank, traces, and production signals.
  • Read references/scenarios.md for repeatable profiling and trace-oriented entry points.
  • Handoff skills when the scope expands:
  • android-compose-performance
  • android-ci-cd-release-playstore

Workflow

  1. Classify the symptom before choosing tools: cold start, warm start, frame/jank, scrolling, memory, ANR, crash, battery, or production vitals drift.
  2. Measure on release-like builds and physical devices whenever possible; avoid debugging from debug-only traces or profile-unfriendly builds.
  3. Pick the smallest tool that answers the question: Macrobenchmark for startup/scroll numbers, Baseline Profiles for ahead-of-time optimization, Perfetto/System Tracing for deep traces, JankStats or FrameMetrics for frame quality, and Play Vitals for field evidence.
  4. Change one thing at a time, then compare before and after traces or benchmark outputs instead of stacking multiple optimizations blindly.
  5. Hand off UI-specific rendering changes or release rollouts only after the measurement surface is stable and the bottleneck is evidenced.

Guardrails

  • Treat benchmarks, traces, and vitals as different evidence sources with different noise profiles; do not mix them casually.
  • Prefer reproducible release-build measurements over debug-build intuition.
  • Tie optimizations back to user-facing metrics such as startup time, frame pacing, ANRs, or battery impact.
  • Keep the profiling setup stable enough that regressions are attributable to code changes instead of device or environment churn.

Anti-Patterns

  • Chasing micro-optimizations before identifying whether the problem is startup, rendering, I/O, or field reliability.
  • Reading one noisy trace and presenting the result as settled fact.
  • Measuring debug builds and assuming the same behavior in production.
  • Adding Baseline Profiles or macrobenchmarks without checking whether the target path is stable enough to compare.

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.

android-performance-observability is a skill published in the GitHub repository krutikJain/android-agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,131 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
