orca-emulator-android is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stablyai/orca. It costs 104 tokens per session (835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for controlling an Android emulator or connected Android device used to develop and test mobile apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list or start virtual devices, install and launch apps, perform taps and swipes, type, rotate the screen, manage permissions, inspect accessibility information, and read logs.
Why use it?
It removes the need to handle device control and app testing entirely by hand through Android debugging commands.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

About the project

Orca is an application for running and coordinating multiple coding agents, giving each agent an isolated Git worktree while tracking their work in one place. Developers use it to run agents such as Codex, ClaudeCode, OpenCode, or Pi in parallel across desktop, mobile, local terminals, or remote servers.

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

orca-emulator-android 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Orca Emulator (Android)

This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. The full, version-matched Orca Android emulator reference is served by the orca binary itself — kept out of this file on purpose so it can never drift from the binary that will actually run your commands.

Engage Orca whenever you drive an adb-connected Android emulator or device from inside the Orca app: listing/booting AVDs, taps, swipes, typing, hardware buttons (including Back and Recents), rotation, app install/launch, runtime permissions, the accessibility tree, and logcat. It is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) and complements the orca-emulator (iOS) and orca-cli skills.

Resolve the CLI for this session

Choose the executable once and reuse it for every later command:

  • If the ORCA_CLI_COMMAND environment variable is set, use its value. Orca exports this for managed WSL sessions.
  • Otherwise, in a dev checkout whose session exposes ORCA_DEV_REPO_ROOT, use orca-dev.
  • Otherwise, on Linux outside an Orca-managed terminal, use orca-ide. Never run bare orca there — outside Orca's terminals it normally resolves to the GNOME Orca screen reader (/usr/bin/orca) and starts speech on the user's machine.
  • Otherwise, use orca.

Below, ORCA is a placeholder for the executable you resolved. Substitute it before running anything; do not create a shell variable or run ORCA literally. This works the same way in POSIX shells, PowerShell, and cmd.exe.

If the selected executable cannot run, report its exact error and stop. Do not fall through to another executable, which could silently target a different Orca build.

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.
