setup

setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mttmcknn/android-emulator-plugin. It costs 39 tokens per session (325 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup procedure for Android emulators, which are simulated Android devices used to run and test apps. It checks the Android SDK, creates a virtual device when needed, starts it, and opens the device panel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after installing the Android emulator plug-in to check prerequisites, create a Pixel-style virtual device if needed, start an emulator, and find the device controls.
Why use it?
It catches missing SDK tools or system images before testing begins and avoids unnecessary setup steps when a usable virtual device already exists.

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

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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Set Up Android Emulators

  1. Call check_device_status.
    • If Platform Tools are missing, tell the user to install them with Android Studio or sdkmanager and set ANDROID_HOME if the SDK is in a custom location. Stop there. Physical devices do not need the emulator package.
  2. If the status lists no AVDs, call create_emulator with profile: "pixel_9". If it reports that no system images are installed, tell the user to install one from Android Studio's SDK Manager, then stop.
  3. Otherwise call start_emulator with no arguments.
  4. Successful startup opens the device panel automatically. Do not follow it with show_device_panel; use that tool only to reopen a closed panel or when the user asks to show it.
  5. Tell the user, briefly, where things are:
    • The Android Emulator panel shows devices pinned to this chat. Use the dropdown to pin a connected phone or add another emulator. Compare or drag one device tab onto another for side-by-side testing.
    • Android Emulators in the sidebar lists every running emulator and the devices on disk.
    • Settings for the default device, idle shutdown, and video quality are on the plugin's page.
    • Drag an APK onto the device to install it; the device controls list keyboard shortcuts.

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.
