android-security

A workflow for reviewing the security of an Android app package, or APK, the installable file used by Android. It combines code inspection, runtime testing, secret scanning, API mapping, and checks based on common mobile security risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to obtain and decompile APKs, inspect code and resources, test the app on a device, document its network endpoints, and produce an Android security report.
Why use it?
It helps reveal exposed keys, unsafe app entry points, weak protection, insecure network behavior, and other issues that may not appear during normal use.

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

android-security scanned grade A with 2 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 21 executable files (scripts/check-deps.sh, scripts/frida/anti-frida-bypass.js, scripts/frida/api-tracer.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/<NAME>-server

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Android Security Analysis

Comprehensive Android application security analysis combining static reverse engineering, dynamic instrumentation, secret scanning, API mapping, and OWASP Mobile Top 10 assessment. This skill chains acquisition, reconnaissance, static analysis, dynamic analysis, API documentation, security assessment, and report generation into a single structured workflow.

Philosophy: Think, don't checklist. Every finding is a lead — a hardcoded API key means check where it's used and what access it grants. An exported Activity means launch it and test for abuse. A weak cipher means trace where it's used and what it protects. Chain of reasoning: finding, implication, verification, report.

Prerequisites

This skill requires a set of static and dynamic analysis tools. Run the dependency checker to verify the environment:

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/android-security/scripts/check-deps.sh

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-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheQmaks/areclaw-plugin (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 9,224 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
