At a glance
Drives locally connected Android phones through OpenGUI screenshots and allowlisted actions, one observed step at a time, for app, game and multi-device tasks.
- Works in 6 steps: Call opengui_list_devices. Explain USB… → Call opengui_open_session with one to… → Call opengui_observe before the first… → …
- Opening and testing an app on a connected Android phone
- SKILL.md covers Route the task, Phone loop and External side effects
- Calls node and adb
What it does
Activates by intent: any request that targets a phone, an Android app, a mobile game or several devices, without the user needing to say OpenGUI. It uses the OpenGUI MCP tools when present, or a node CLI adapter in skills-only installs, and never bypasses the adapter with raw adb shell commands. Browser-only work goes to the native Codex Browser instead.
The phone loop is: list devices, open a session with one to four device ids, observe a screenshot, perform exactly one action at a time using the newest observation id, and close the session when done, with a cancel call if the user asks to stop. Multi-device sessions pass a device id on every call and freeze the device set. It stops on stale observations, repeated lack of progress, operation limits, authorization problems or disconnects, and a device wall URL can be opened for monitoring.
When your agent uses it
- Opening and testing an app on a connected Android phone
- Claiming rewards in a mobile game
- Running the same steps on several phones
- Monitoring multiple devices on a device wall
Example prompts
- “Open the settings app on my connected Android phone and turn on dark mode.”
- “Claim today's reward in the mobile game on both phones.”
- “Test the login screen of my app on the attached device.”
Requirements
- An Android phone connected over USB with debugging authorized
- The OpenGUI MCP tools or its node CLI adapter
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call opengui_list_devices. Explain USB authorization or connection errors rather than guessing.
- Call opengui_open_session with one to four selected device ids. Omit ids only when exactly one authorized phone is connected.
- Call opengui_observe before the first mutation. Treat the returned screenshot pixels as the only valid coordinate space.
- Perform exactly one opengui_act at a time with the newest observationId, then inspect the returned observation. Use tight target bounds…
- Open the returned deviceWallUrl in the native Codex Browser when the user asks to monitor devices or when a multi-device wall helps.
- Always call opengui_close_session after success. Call opengui_cancel immediately when the user asks to stop or when continuing would be…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad6d57f. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodeadb
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
OpenGUI Android Control loads about 788 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 410 words (~788 tokens).
“Use the OpenGUI MCP tools when they are available. In a public Skills-only installation, resolve the plugin root as two directories above this file and invoke node /lib/codex-cli.js '' instead. The CLI returns screenshot files under its private state directory…”
