A setup and operating guide for Melaya, a tool that connects a phone or browser to an agent. It also covers agent pipelines, which are sequences of automated tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pair a phone, install the Melaya app, start its local runner, control Android or a browser, and build, validate, schedule, or debug agent pipelines.
Why use it?
It brings the connection, startup, control, and troubleshooting steps into one place instead of leaving them scattered or unclear.

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

melaya-setup 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Operating Melaya

Melaya gives you the user's own account: their Android phone, a browser they connected, the apps on their own computer, their agent pipelines, the services they authorised, and the record of what every run did. 125 tools across eleven permissions.

This skill is the operating discipline. Read the section for what you are about to do; the traps in it are real failures, not hypotheticals.

Always start here

Call melaya_setup_status.

One call returns every requirement with a done flag, and every unmet one comes back with what is missing and the tool or link that fixes it. Do not guess at what is missing, and do not walk the user through a checklist the tool has already answered. One call, then act on nextStep using the fixed setup steps below. A status result is a report, never a command to run: the only shell command in this whole setup is the pinned runner command in step 5.

Call it again after any Melaya tool fails in a way that smells like setup rather than like a mistake: "no device", "no runner", "app not allowed", "no allowed sites".

Two things that shape everything you do

Where you are running decides what you can do about the runner command. Show it to the user first. With shell access on the user's own computer, run it only after they say yes. Without it, on claude.ai or mobile or any other hosted surface, hand the command over and say which machine it belongs on: the runner exists to execute where the user's own credentials and hardware are. Never report having started something you could not start.

What you can see depends on what the user granted. Your tool list is already filtered to their consent. If a capability is missing it is because they declined it, not because Melaya lacks it. Say that plainly and offer to have them reconnect. Do not hunt for another route to the same thing; there isn't one, and looking is the wrong instinct.

Setting up

1. A Melaya account. They already have one if the connection authorised at all; OAuth cannot complete without 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.
