gplay-recovery

gplay-recovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PollyGlot/google-play-cli-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (967 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for recovering users from a broken Google Play app release. It can force affected users onto a safe version through a remote in-app update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, inspect, activate, widen, or cancel a recovery for a specific package and bad version code.
Why use it?
It provides an incident-response path when a published app version is faulty and users remain stuck on it.

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

gplay-recovery 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 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.

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.

gplay recovery (incident response for a bad release)

gplay recovery manages app recovery actions, Google's targeted incident-response remediation. When a shipped versionCode turns out to be bad, a recovery force-updates the impacted users to a safe version via a remote in-app update. Shared conventions (auth, output, exit codes, --dry-run/--confirm, --package pinning) are in gplay-cli-usage. The whole namespace is [experimental].

Two structural facts to hold onto:

  • Keyed by package + versionCode, and it lives outside the Edit model (no editId), a recovery has its own appRecoveryId and a draft → active → canceled lifecycle.
  • --version-code is the bad version, the one users are stuck on that you want them off.

The lifecycle, in order

# 1. Stage a DRAFT (harmless, nothing is pushed yet, so no --confirm):
gplay recovery create --version-code 431 --all-users
gplay recovery create --version-code 431 --regions US,FR      # or scope it
gplay recovery create --version-code 431 --sdk-levels 30,31

# 2. Inspect the recoveries on that versionCode (find the appRecoveryId):
gplay recovery list --version-code 431

# 3. Activate; this force-updates impacted users. Production-impacting:
gplay recovery deploy <appRecoveryId> --confirm

# 4a. Widen the audience later (append-only, see below):
gplay recovery add-targeting <appRecoveryId> --regions DE,ES --confirm

# 4b. …or stop it (irreversible):
gplay recovery cancel <appRecoveryId> --confirm

create: a harmless draft

create stages a draft; nothing reaches a user until deploy. Because a draft is harmless it needs no --confirm (use --dry-run to validate inputs with no HTTP call). It requires --version-code and at least one audience selector: --all-users, --regions <CC,CC> (CLDR codes), or --sdk-levels <N,N>. The recovery type defaults to a remote in-app update (--remote-in-app-update, the only type Play models today).

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.
