2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Platform Scope: Android-Specific This skill applies only to Android (
:androidApporandroidMain). It is not applicable to KMP shared code (commonMain) or iOS.
Android Emulator Skill
Build, test, and automate Android applications using accessibility-driven navigation and structured data instead of pixel coordinates.
Quick Start
# 1. Check environment (use .sh on macOS/Linux, .ps1 on Windows)
bash scripts/emu_health_check.sh
# or on Windows: .\scripts\emu_health_check.ps1
# 2. Launch app
python scripts/app_launcher.py --launch com.example.app
# 3. Map screen to see elements
python scripts/screen_mapper.py
# 4. Tap button
python scripts/navigator.py --find-text "Login" --tap
# 5. Enter text
python scripts/navigator.py --find-type EditText --enter-text "[email protected]"
All scripts support --help for detailed options and --json for machine-readable output.

Common Patterns
Auto-Device Detection: Scripts target the single connected device/emulator if only one is present, or require -s <serial> if multiple are connected.
Output Formats: Default is concise human-readable output. Use --json for machine-readable output.
Requirements
- Android SDK Platform-Tools (adb, fastboot)
- Android Emulator
- Java / OpenJDK
- Python 3
Key Design Principles
Semantic Navigation: Find elements by text, resource-id, or content-description.
Token Efficiency: Concise default output with optional verbose and JSON modes.
Zero Configuration: Works with standard Android SDK installation.
