phone-use

phone-use is a skill for Claude Code from pockebot/openpocket. It costs 68 tokens per session (941 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for inspecting and controlling an Android emulator, phone, TV, or other Android device through OpenPocket and ADB. ADB is a standard way for development tools to communicate with Android devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Android app testing and automation, including opening apps, reading visible text, finding controls, tapping, typing, scrolling, and taking screenshots.
Why use it?
It helps keep Android testing targeted and safe by checking the device first and reading the screen before acting. It also favors finding visible controls over relying on fragile screen coordinates.

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

phone-use 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phone Use With OpenPocket

Use the plugin-provided openpocket-phone MCP server for Android work. Do not use desktop computer-use automation to operate an emulator window unless the MCP server is unavailable and the user explicitly accepts that fallback.

OpenPocket is Android-first. This plugin does not control iOS Simulator or iPhone targets.

Start Every Task

  1. Confirm the target belongs to the user or is authorized for testing.
  2. Call target_status before taking any action.
  3. If the configured target is an emulator and no booted emulator is online, call start_emulator when starting it will not disrupt other local work.
  4. If multiple devices are online, ask which serial to use and pass that deviceId to every subsequent tool.
  5. Never bypass Android trust prompts, lock screens, account prompts, or OS security controls.

Interaction Loop

  1. Read state with ui_snapshot, visible_text, or current_app.
  2. Open apps with open_app when only the label is known, or launch_app when the package name is exact.
  3. Locate controls with find_text and prefer tap_text or tap_element over raw coordinates.
  4. After navigation, launch, search, or scrolling, use wait_for_text instead of repeatedly polling screenshots.
  5. Use screenshot when visual layout, imagery, canvas content, or uncertain text extraction matters.
  6. Read the metadata returned by screenshot or ui_snapshot, including currentApp, deviceId, uiElements, visibleTextLines, secureSurfaceDetected, capture metrics, and screen dimensions.
  7. Use type_text only after the intended input field is focused.
  8. Use key_event for BACK, HOME, ENTER, SEARCH, and similar Android keys.
  9. Use swipe, drag, and long_press_drag for gestures.
  10. Use adb_shell only for narrow Android inspection or deterministic setup. Avoid broad or destructive commands.
  11. Re-read the screen after every state-changing action and stop when the user goal is complete or the state becomes ambiguous.

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.
