Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00266 | $0.03653 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00133 | $0.01826 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00053 | $0.00731 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00365 |
Grade A, and why
connecting-over-wifi 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 9d 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.

Connecting Over Wi-Fi — adb pair (Modern) and adb tcpip (Legacy)
Android 11 introduced a paired wireless debugging flow that replaces the legacy adb tcpip dance. The modern path encrypts and authenticates over TLS using a pairing-code-derived shared secret and uses ephemeral ports; the legacy path leaves an unauthenticated TCP listener on a well-known port. This skill covers both, plus the mDNS plumbing the host server uses to discover paired devices.
When to use this skill
- The user wants to connect a phone to ADB without a USB cable.
- The user mentions
adb pair, QR-code pairing, the "Wireless debugging" toggle in Developer options, or pairing codes. - The user copies
adb tcpip 5555 && adb connect 192.168.1.100:5555from an old blog and asks why a modern phone treats that as insecure. - The user sees
connection refusedafter pairing and is on a corporate Wi-Fi. - The user sees mDNS Bonjour vs Openscreen confusion in
adb mdns check.
When NOT to use this skill
- The user wants USB device basics (selector flags, RSA dialog, udev rules) — use
../connecting-to-devices/SKILL.md. - The user wants the architecture / env-var cheat sheet — use
../../architecture/understanding-adb-architecture/SKILL.md. - The user wants to run a test on the wirelessly connected device — use
../../tests/running-instrumented-tests-via-adb/SKILL.md.
Prerequisites
- Workstation and device on the same Wi-Fi network. Corporate networks frequently block p2p — see step 6.
- Phones / tablets: Android 11 (API 30)+. TV / Wear OS: Android 13 (API 33)+.
- Working ADB server (see
../../architecture/understanding-adb-architecture/SKILL.md). - Wireless debugging enabled on-device:
Settings → System → Developer options → Wireless debugging.
Workflow
- 1. Prefer the modern
adb pairflow on Android 11+. From developer.android.com/tools/adb#wireless:"Android 11 (API level 30) and higher support deploying and debugging your app wirelessly from your workstation using Android Debug Bridge (adb). For example, you can deploy your debuggable app to multiple remote devices without ever needing to physically connect your device via USB."
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.

connecting-over-wifi is a skill published in the GitHub repository skydoves/android-testing-skills (319 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 266 tokens to every session and 3,653 once invoked, about $0.0013 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
