What it does

Appfunctions is an agent skill from arindamxd/camerax-android. Analyzes Android apps to identify key user workflows for AppFunctions such as creating a note, playing media, or sending an automated or AI agent triggered message, voice commands, or system shortcuts, without needing to open the app UI. Generates Kotlin code to expose these workflows to the Android system, allowing agents to discover and execute them on-device. Also refines KDoc documentation to ensure AI agents correctly understand and use the provided functionality.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adb-interaction-testing.md`, `references/context.md` and `references/feature-discovery-analysis.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Android development. It works with Android and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: A Play Store camera app showing Jetpack CameraX APIs in Kotlin — install it, use it, copy the patterns. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “Use the appfunctions skill to analyz Android apps to identify key user workflows for AppFunctions such as creating a note, playing media, or sending…”
  • “/appfunctions”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7c36352. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Appfunctions loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Analyzes Android apps to identify key user workflows for AppFunctions such as creating a note, playing media, or sending an automated or AI agent triggered message, voice commands, or system shortcuts, without needing to open the app UI.

Generates Kotlin code to expose these workflows to the Android system, allowing agents to discover and execute them on-device.

Also refines KDoc documentation to ensure AI agents correctly understand and use the provided functionality.

Prerequisites

The app must targetSdk 36 or newer and use compileSdk 37 or newer as AppFunctions, part of the Android platform API, are available from Android 16 onwards. Always use the Jetpack library because it handles backward compatibility.

Workflows

This skill enables the caller to discover features that will be provided to system agents, implement these with AppFunctions, improve function description for agents, and use ADB commands for local evaluation and testing.

The full AppFunction development flow consists of these four steps:

  • Step 1: Discovery: Analyze Android codebases to identify and recommend potential AppFunctions. Use this step when a user asks to "discover AppFunctions," "find features for AI," or "analyze my app for agentic tools."
  • Step 2: Implementation and configuration: Generate Kotlin implementations of AppFunctions, manage system-wide configuration, and configure build dependencies. Use this step when a user asks to "implement AppFunctions," "set up the AppFunctions framework," or "configure Hilt for AppFunctions."
  • Step 3: KDoc refinement: Optimize AppFunction KDoc for AI agents and Model Context Protocol. If a user asks to "write KDoc", "optimize for MCP", or "refactor tool descriptions for LLMs", use this step.
  • Step 4: Testing and debugging: Provide commands to interact with AppFunctions using ADB for testing and debugging. If a user wants to "list app functions", "invoke an app function", or "verify app function registration" on a device, use this step.
Show full SKILL.md (189 more words)Show less

If users request a subset of steps, you must encourage them to use all steps.

If they apply, you must load the following references:

  • Context and terminology: Defines the ubiquitous language, architecture definitions, and design patterns across the AppFunctions skill suite. Load when you need to understand core architecture terminology or check the distinctions between modern and legacy AppFunctions APIs.
  • Migration to service entry point : Documents the systematic procedure for migrating Android applications using AppFunctions versions 1.0.0-alpha09 and lower to AppFunctionServiceEntryPoint architecture introduced in version 1.0.0-alpha10. Load when a user asks to migrate or upgrade existing AppFunctions code, or when you encounter legacy AppFunctionConfiguration.Provider implementations.

Critical constraints

  • Modular consistency: You must refine KDocs immediately after you generate AppFunction implementations.
  • Security: Don't expose sensitive data or run destructive actions without user confirmation.

When should I use Appfunctions?

Appfunctions fits situations like: tasks that involve Android development.

How do I install Appfunctions in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add arindamxd/camerax-android --skill appfunctions -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/appfunctions in arindamxd/camerax-android) into .claude/skills/appfunctions in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Appfunctions in Codex?

Run `npx skills add arindamxd/camerax-android --skill appfunctions -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/appfunctions in arindamxd/camerax-android) into .agents/skills/appfunctions in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Appfunctions in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add arindamxd/camerax-android --skill appfunctions -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/appfunctions, .gemini/skills/appfunctions, .github/skills/appfunctions and .opencode/skills/appfunctions in your project.

What does Appfunctions need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Appfunctions is instructions for the agent only.

Does Appfunctions access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Appfunctions safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
