What it does

Mobilevc Installer is an agent skill from JayCRL/MobileVC. Install and start MobileVC — a Claude Code mobile workspace launcher that lets the user run Claude Code on a phone (iOS / Android) with their dev machine as the backend. Use this skill when the user asks to: - "install mobilevc" / "set up mobilevc" / "装一个 mobilevc" - "在手机上用 Claude Code" / "want to use Claude Code on my phone" - "把 Claude Code 装到手机" / "mobile claude code" - "扫码连手机" 这类与 mobilevc 关联的请求 This skill installs the published npm package @justprove/mobilevc, runs mobilevc start (which prints a LAN QR…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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, covering App store release. It works with npm, Android, iOS and App Store Connect. The repository describes itself as: Turn your phone into the control center for an AI coding assistant CLI session (Claude or Codex) running on your computer. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Runs mobilevc start (which prints a LAN QR code)
Points the user to https://www.mobilevc.top to install the iOS / Android client

Example prompts

“install mobilevc”
“set up mobilevc”
“装一个 mobilevc”
“/mobilevc-installer”

Requirements

Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Preflight
Install the npm package
First-run setup (interactive)
Start the backend
Direct the user to install the phone client
Done

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f9eb5a. 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:
- npm
- nvm
- node
- brew
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- mobilevc.top
Also links to:
- npmjs.com
- nodejs.org
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

Mobilevc Installer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 220 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~220
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

name: mobilevc-installer
description: Install and start MobileVC — a Claude Code mobile workspace launcher that lets the user run Claude Code on a phone (iOS / Android) with their dev machine as the backend. Use this skill when the user asks to: - "install mobilevc" / "set up mobilevc" / "装一个 mobilevc" - "在手机上用 Claude Code" / "want to use Claude Code on my phone" - "把 Claude Code 装到手机" / "mobile claude code" - "扫码连手机" 这类与 mobilevc 关联的请求 This skill installs the published npm package `@justprove/mobilevc`, runs `mobilevc start` (which prints a LAN QR code), and points the user to https://www.mobilevc.top to install the iOS / Android client. iOS installs through the TestFlight link on the homepage; Android installs through the APK download link. Skip if the user asks to MODIFY MobileVC source code or rebuild it from scratch — this skill is a launcher, not a dev environment bootstrapper.

mobilevc-installer

Install and run MobileVC for the user. The user's dev machine becomes the Claude Code backend; the phone runs the official client app and connects to it over LAN or through the public Relay flow.

GitHub: https://github.com/JayCRL/MobileVC npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@justprove/mobilevc

What you do

Run these steps in order. Stop and report to the user as soon as anything fails.

Step 1 — Preflight

Before installing, check the environment. Run these commands and confirm:

bash

node --version    # require >= 18.0.0
npm --version

If node is missing or older than 18, STOP and tell the user how to install Node.js (brew install node, nvm install 20, or https://nodejs.org). Do NOT proceed.

Step 2 — Install the npm package

Try the global install first:

bash

npm install -g @justprove/mobilevc

If it fails with EACCES or permission errors, do NOT use sudo. Instead suggest one of:

npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global && export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH then re-run install
nvm use <version> if the user has nvm
npm install --prefix ~/.local @justprove/mobilevc and add ~/.local/bin to PATH

Verify:

bash

mobilevc --help

Step 3 — First-run setup (interactive)

Tell the user that mobilevc start will ask three questions on first run:

Language — zh or en
Port — default 8001. Pick something else if 8001 is busy.
Auth token — any string the user wants. The phone client will need this to connect.

If the user has not picked a token yet, suggest something memorable but non-trivial (e.g. mvc- plus 8 random chars).

Important: token input is hidden in the terminal. Tell the user to type the token normally and press Enter even though no characters are shown.

Step 4 — Start the backend

bash

mobilevc start

This will:

Run mobilevc setup if no config exists yet
Spawn the prebuilt server binary in the background (logs in ~/.mobilevc/logs/)
Print a LAN QR code in the terminal that encodes <host>:<port> + auth token

If start fails, run mobilevc logs and surface the relevant error to the user. Common issues:

Port already in use → mobilevc stop then change port via mobilevc setup
Binary missing → reinstall via npm install -g @justprove/mobilevc --force

Show full SKILL.md (189 more words)Show less

Step 5 — Direct the user to install the phone client

Tell the user (verbatim, in the user's preferred language):

后端已启动。请在手机上：
1. 打开 MobileVC 官网首页：https://www.mobilevc.top
2. iOS 通过官网上的 TestFlight 链接安装
3. Android 通过官网上的 APK 下载入口安装
4. 如果官网打不开，先切换到国内网络环境后再试
5. 打开 MobileVC App，扫描终端里刚刚打印的二维码

(English variant if the user is using English.)

Step 6 — Done

Confirm the running state:

bash

mobilevc status

Tell the user the helper commands they will need later:

mobilevc status — check if backend is alive
mobilevc logs -f — follow logs
mobilevc stop — stop backend
mobilevc restart — restart with same config
mobilevc setup — reconfigure (port / token / language)
mobilevc public --relay wss://relay.mobilevc.top:9443 — connect through the official Relay when the phone is not on the same WiFi

Important rules

Do NOT clone the MobileVC source repo unless the user explicitly asks to develop on it. This skill is for end-users who only want to RUN MobileVC.
Do NOT ask the user for APNS keys or any backend secrets. The npm-bundled binary is self-contained for LAN usage; APNS push is only required if the user is self-hosting a public deployment, which is out of scope here.
Do check Node.js version first. Almost all install failures upstream of mobilevc start are Node version or PATH issues.
Do keep the QR code output visible — that's the primary user-facing artifact.
