android-sdk-knowledge-patch

android-sdk-knowledge-patch is a skill for Claude Code from Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins. It costs 9 tokens per session (2,264 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for updating Android apps and libraries as Android, Google Play, and the Android build tools change. It covers settings such as compile and target SDK versions, Gradle, Kotlin, Java, native code, and device features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Android build files, APIs, libraries, native components, device support, or Google Play delivery settings.
Why use it?
Android compatibility depends on several version settings and platform rules that can change over time. The guide helps identify those constraints before making an update.

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-sdk-knowledge-patch 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 1mo 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.

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 SDK Knowledge Patch

Use this skill when updating Android applications, libraries, build logic, or Play delivery settings where recent platform and Android Gradle Plugin behavior can affect compatibility. Check the project's compileSdk, targetSdk, minSdk, AGP, Gradle, JDK, Kotlin, KSP, NDK, and form factors before applying target-gated guidance.

Prefer the project's manifests, build files, tests, and observed runtime behavior when they differ from general guidance. Distinguish changes affecting all apps on a platform release from changes gated by targetSdk.

Reference index

Reference Topics
AGP toolchain and APIs Toolchain floors, Kotlin, public DSL, Variant API, removed APIs, migration staging
Bluetooth, media, and devices Bluetooth, companions, health, camera, codecs, alarms, widgets, device integration
Google Play target API policy Submission floors, existing-app availability, extensions, exemptions
R8, packaging, and testing Shrinking, keep rules, packaging, native compatibility, reports, profiling
Runtime, UI, and scheduling Jobs, concurrency, back, edge-to-edge, large screens, IME, audio, desktop UI
Security, networking, and data Intents, LAN access, TLS, SMS, contacts, URI grants, Keystore, media access

Start with the compatibility gates

  1. Read compileSdk, targetSdk, minSdk, AGP, Gradle, and JDK from the project rather than assuming they move together.
  2. Identify device and form-factor scope: phone, tablet, desktop windowing, Wear OS, Android Auto, Automotive OS, TV, or XR.
  3. Separate platform-wide behavior from target-gated behavior in tests.
  4. Exercise compatibility flags only as temporary diagnostics; implement the durable behavior before raising the target SDK.
  5. For build plugins, migrate to lazy public APIs before enabling stricter AGP behavior.

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.
