A GitHub Actions workflow for building and checking Android apps automatically. It can run builds, tests, Android Lint, emulator tests, and optional Google Play uploads.

Setting up Android continuous integration with Java and Gradle caching, unit and instrumented tests, lint checks, pre-flight checks, and optional signed app-bundle delivery.

It catches build and quality problems consistently whenever code changes, without requiring every check to be run manually.

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install sdlc-team-android, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 skills, 6 agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00065	$0.00786
Opus 5	$0.00032	$0.00393
Sonnet 5	$0.00013	$0.00157
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00079

Security

Grade A, and why

android-ci 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.

Android CI

Generate a GitHub Actions workflow for an Android app. Complements (does not replace) /sdlc-core:setup-ci — this adds the Android-specific pieces (JDK/Gradle caching, emulators, Play upload). Belongs to the sdlc-team-android / play-store-release-specialist disciplines.

Arguments

path-to-android-project — the project directory (defaults to the current directory).

Steps

1. Establish the project shape

The Gradle wrapper version, the AGP/Kotlin/JDK versions (must move together — JDK 17 floor for AGP 9.x), the module/variant layout, and whether it uses version catalogs (it should).

2. Generate the workflow

Produce an Android CI workflow file under .github/workflows/ with:

Runner: ubuntu-latest for build/unit tests; a macOS runner or a Gradle-managed device / AVD action for instrumented tests. Set JDK 17 (actions/setup-java, temurin).
Gradle caching: gradle/actions/setup-gradle (caches the Gradle user home + configuration cache); enable org.gradle.configuration-cache and org.gradle.caching.
Build & test: ./gradlew assembleDebug testDebugUnitTest lint; instrumented tests via Gradle-managed devices or reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner. Upload lint/test reports.
Android pre-flight: run python -m android_preflight.cli . so config regressions (target-SDK below the Play minimum, unguarded exported components, missing R8, committed secrets, background-location without justification) fail CI before a release ever reaches Play.

3. (Optional) Signing + Play upload job

Only if the project releases from CI:

Secrets: base64-encoded upload keystore, keystore/key passwords, and the Play service-account JSON — all in GitHub Actions encrypted secrets, never in the repo.
Signing: decode the keystore, write a keystore.properties (or pass via env), sign the release — see android-signing-setup.
Build + upload: ./gradlew bundleRelease → a signed .aab; upload with Gradle Play Publisher, fastlane supply, or the r0adkll/upload-google-play action to the internal track (draft or a small inProgress %), then promote after smoke-testing.
versionCode: stamp from git rev-list --count HEAD so every CI build is unique, monotonic, and traceable to a commit.

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.

android-ci is a skill published in the GitHub repository SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices (41 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 786 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
