What it does

Use Appclaw Agent CLI is an agent skill from appclawhq/AppClaw. Use the appclaw-agent CLI to directly open, inspect, and interact with a mobile app via terminal commands — without writing a YAML flow. Trigger this skill when the user asks to open an app, tap or fill a UI element, check visibility, or perform any one-off device interaction that does not require a reusable flow file.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered mobile automation agent — describe what you want in plain English, AppClaw reads the screen, reasons, and acts. LLM-agnostic, open-source, zero telemetry. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • This skill when the user asks to open an app
  • Fill a UI element
  • Check visibility
  • Perform any one-off device interaction that does not require a reusable flow file

Example prompts

  • “/use-appclaw-agent-cli”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify that appclaw-agent is installed and run appclaw-agent help workflow.
  2. Use a descriptive named session for the task.
  3. Inspect with snapshot -i --json before choosing a target.
  4. Prefer returned @eN references or durable selectors for interaction.
  5. Request a new snapshot after each state-changing action.
  6. Use --vision only when explicitly requested or when visual targeting is required and configured.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bbc6f1. 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

Use Appclaw Agent CLI loads about 775 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~775

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.

description
Use the appclaw-agent CLI to directly open, inspect, and interact with a mobile app via terminal commands — without writing a YAML flow. Trigger this skill when the user asks to open an app, tap or fill a UI element, check visibility, or perform any one-off device interaction that does not require a reusable flow file.

AppClaw Agent CLI

When the user asks you to operate or inspect a mobile device interactively (open an app, tap a button, check visibility, etc.) using terminal commands rather than a YAML flow:

  1. Verify that appclaw-agent is installed and run appclaw-agent help workflow.
  2. Use a descriptive named session for the task.
  3. Inspect with snapshot -i --json before choosing a target.
  4. Prefer returned @eN references or durable selectors for interaction.
  5. Request a new snapshot after each state-changing action.
  6. Use --vision only when explicitly requested or when visual targeting is required and configured.

Scrolling — direction reference

Always use scroll, never swipe. scroll and swipe are aliases in the parser, but scroll reads unambiguously — scroll down means scroll down, scroll up means scroll up.

GoalCommand
See content below (scroll down)appclaw-agent --session <name> scroll down --json
See content above (scroll up)appclaw-agent --session <name> scroll up --json
Scroll down within an elementappclaw-agent --session <name> scroll @eN down --json
Scroll up within an elementappclaw-agent --session <name> scroll @eN up --json

Never use swipe — swipe up is ambiguous (training data says it scrolls down; AppClaw treats it as scroll up). Using scroll eliminates the confusion entirely.

Never use swipe @eN direction — element-scoped swipe crashes (swipeElement is not a function). Use scroll @eN direction instead. 7. Close the named session when the task is complete.

Assertions must always be visual

Never use DOM presence (is visible, snapshot element checks) as the sole assertion. The DOM may contain elements that are off-screen, scrolled out of view, or clipped — DOM presence does not mean the user can see it.

For every assertion or verification step:

  1. Take a screenshot: appclaw-agent --session <name> screenshot /tmp/<name>.png
  2. Read the screenshot image with the Read tool and visually analyze what is actually rendered on screen.
  3. Base your pass/fail verdict only on what you can see in the screenshot, not on DOM presence.
  4. If the target content is not clearly visible in the screenshot, the assertion fails — even if a DOM element exists for it.

This applies to any check phrased as "verify X is present", "confirm X appears", "assert X is visible", or similar.

The installed CLI help is the source of truth for supported commands.
