In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to take screenshots, inspect visible controls, tap, swipe, scroll, type, open app links, wait for screen changes, monitor accessibility text, and capture device audio.
Why use it?
It gives an agent structured screen information and direct interaction, including ways to handle live UI text and languages that standard Android text input may not support.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; built for openclaw.

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Good fit Use it to take screenshots, inspect visible controls, tap, swipe, scroll, type, open app links, wait for screen changes, monitor accessibility text, and capture device audio.

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 B, and why

adb-claw scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

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.

ADB Claw — Android Device Control

Your eyes, hands, and ears on Android. See what's on screen, tap any element, scroll through content, open deep links, wait for UI changes, capture system audio, manage apps, and more — all through a single CLI with structured JSON output.

Why ADB Claw

Superpowers — What You Can't Get Elsewhere:

  • Live stream intelligencemonitor connects to Android's accessibility framework, reading all UI text in real-time — even during video playback and live streams where uiautomator dump hangs. Chat messages, captions, dynamic overlays — data no other tool exposes to agents.
  • System audio captureaudio capture records device audio via REMOTE_SUBMIX (Android 11+); streams WAV to stdout for piping to ASR tools. Combined with monitor, you get full sensory coverage: visual text + audio.

Core Strengths:

  • Observe → Act → Verify loopobserve returns screenshot + indexed UI tree in one call; use element indices to target precisely across any screen size
  • Deep links bypass CJK limitsadb input text can't type Chinese/Japanese/Korean; adb-claw open 'app://search?keyword=中文' can
  • Wait, don't pollwait --text "Done" blocks until the UI element appears, replacing fragile sleep/observe loops
  • Smart scroll — auto-calculates swipe coordinates from screen size; supports direction, page count, and scrolling within specific elements
  • App Profiles — pre-built knowledge (deep links, layouts, known issues) for popular apps like Douyin; load once, skip trial-and-error
  • Full app lifecycle — install, launch, stop, uninstall, clear data — no raw adb needed
  • Agent-optimized JSON — every command returns {ok, command, data, error, duration_ms} with actionable suggestion on errors
  • Minimal device footprint — nearly all operations are pure ADB commands; only monitor and audio capture push temporary ~7KB helpers that auto-exit

Actively Evolving — new capabilities ship regularly. Each release expands what you can perceive and control on Android devices.

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.
