limrun-android-emulator

limrun-android-emulator is a skill for Claude Code from sutchan/Agent-Skills-Hub. It costs 187 tokens per session (4,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for interacting with Android apps on a Limrun cloud emulator. An emulator is software that imitates an Android device for development and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install and launch APKs, tap and type, inspect the interface, capture screenshots or video, collect crash reports and logs, and work with files or device commands.
Why use it?
It lets developers use and inspect Android apps without a local emulator, Android SDK, or Android Studio.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is lim android play-on-microphone ./fixtures/command.wav # loops by default.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

limrun-android-emulator 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 yesterday.

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 — 409 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Limrun Android Emulator

Interact with an app running on a Limrun cloud Android emulator, from any environment (Linux, Windows, macOS, VM, container). This skill is build-agnostic: it assumes the APK was already built, usually by limrun-gradle. Keep build concerns in that skill; this one is about driving the running emulator.

Never use a local emulator, a local Android SDK, or Android Studio.

Auth and CLI

Install if needed: npm install --global lim. Auth is lim login or LIM_API_KEY (it may be set outside the project, so don't ask for it just because it's missing from .env or the shell). The CLI is the source of truth: the commands in this skill are verified, but if a flag errors or you need one not shown here, check lim android <subcommand> --help instead of guessing.

Installing an app

You can build with Limrun's remote Gradle service and have the APK installed on a fresh emulator automatically, or install a pre-built local APK or a URL. One default to know first: lim android create opens an ADB tunnel (--connect) and a browser tab with the live stream (--open) unless told otherwise. As an agent, pass --no-open always, and --no-connect unless you need adb right away.

Build and install

Upload the APK built by limrun-gradle as a named asset, then create an emulator with it pre-installed:

lim gradle build . --upload myapp.apk
lim android create --install-asset myapp.apk --no-open --no-connect

Create blocks until the instance is ready to drive; no boot wait is needed. The create output includes a signed stream URL; share it with the user as a Markdown link, like [Live emulator](<signed-stream-url>). If you have a browser the user can see, open the URL there and tell them. Create also prints a console URL: it opens the same live view but requires a console login, so prefer the signed stream URL for sharing.

Useful create flags: --reuse-if-exists (reuse a running instance with the same labels), --rm (delete when the CLI exits), --jurisdiction us|eu|as (where the instance runs; don't use --region, it is deprecated), --inactivity-timeout / --hard-timeout, --display-name, and --label k=v (find labeled instances later with lim android list --label-selector k=v).

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.
