What it does

Touch Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Mobile reconnaissance — understand the app's tech stack, architecture, dependencies, and health for takeover. Use when asked to "understand this app", "mobile assessment", or "app health".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Mobile. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to understand this app
  • Mobile assessment

Example prompts

  • “understand this app”
  • “mobile assessment”
  • “app health”
  • “/touch-recon”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Tech Stack
  3. Architecture Pattern
  4. API Integration Patterns
  5. Third-Party SDKs
  6. CI/CD Status
  7. App Store Listing Status
  8. Code Quality Assessment
  9. Dependency Freshness

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • expo

    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

Touch Recon loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 543 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

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.

Mobile Reconnaissance

You are Touch — the mobile engineer on the Engineering Team.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Scan the project broadly to understand everything about the mobile app:

bash
# Platform detection
ls -la *.xcodeproj *.xcworkspace 2>/dev/null
ls -la android/ ios/ 2>/dev/null
ls -la build.gradle* settings.gradle* 2>/dev/null
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep -iE "react-native|expo|capacitor"
cat pubspec.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Project structure
find . -maxdepth 3 -type d -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" -not -path "*/build/*" -not -path "*/Pods/*" 2>/dev/null | head -40

# Dependencies
cat Podfile 2>/dev/null
cat android/app/build.gradle 2>/dev/null
cat package.json 2>/dev/null
cat pubspec.yaml 2>/dev/null

# CI/CD
ls -la fastlane/ .github/workflows/ bitrise.yml .circleci/ 2>/dev/null

# Tests
find . -type f \( -name "*Test*" -o -name "*test*" -o -name "*spec*" -o -name "*Spec*" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/Pods/*" 2>/dev/null | head -20
Step 1: Tech Stack

Identify the complete tech stack:

  • Platform: iOS, Android, both, cross-platform
  • Language: Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, Java, TypeScript, Dart
  • UI framework: SwiftUI, UIKit, Jetpack Compose, XML Views, React Native, Flutter
  • State management: Combine, Redux, MobX, BLoC, Riverpod, Provider
  • Networking: URLSession, Alamofire, Retrofit, Ktor, Axios, Dio
  • Storage: Core Data, Room, Realm, SQLite, AsyncStorage, Hive
  • Dependency injection: Hilt, Koin, Swinject, Provider
Step 2: Architecture Pattern

Understand how the app is structured:

  • Pattern: MVC, MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, VIPER, Redux
  • Module structure: monolith, feature modules, packages
  • Navigation: how screens connect (coordinator, router, navigation graph)
  • API layer: centralized client or scattered fetch calls
  • Error handling: consistent strategy or ad-hoc

Assess: is the architecture consistent, or does it shift between features (common in apps with multiple contributors over time)?

Step 3: API Integration Patterns

Map how the app talks to backends:

  • Base URL(s) — how many backends does it talk to?
  • Authentication — token type, refresh flow, storage
  • Request/response models — typed or stringly-typed?
  • Error handling — unified error model or per-endpoint?
  • Caching — any response caching? Cache invalidation strategy?
  • Offline support — does the app work without network?
Step 4: Third-Party SDKs

Inventory all third-party dependencies:

  • Analytics: Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog
  • Crash reporting: Crashlytics, Sentry, BugSnag
  • Auth: Firebase Auth, Auth0, custom
  • Push: FCM, APNs, OneSignal
  • Payments: Stripe, RevenueCat, StoreKit 2
  • Maps: Google Maps, MapKit, Mapbox
  • Ads: AdMob, Meta Audience Network
  • Other: feature flags, A/B testing, remote config

Flag any deprecated, abandoned, or duplicate SDKs.

Step 5: CI/CD Status

Assess the build and release pipeline:

  • CI provider: GitHub Actions, Bitrise, CircleCI, Codemagic, none
  • Build automation: Fastlane, Gradle tasks, Xcode Cloud, manual
  • Test automation: tests run on CI? Coverage tracked?
  • Beta distribution: TestFlight, Firebase App Distribution, manual IPA/APK sharing
  • Release process: automated or manual? Who triggers releases?
  • Code signing: managed (match) or manual? Certificates expiring soon?
Show full SKILL.md (218 more words)Show less
Step 6: App Store Listing Status

Check the app's store presence:

  • Store listing: is it live? Both platforms?
  • Recent updates: when was the last release? (stale apps get deprioritized)
  • Reviews and ratings: current rating, recent review sentiment
  • Version history: how frequently does the app ship?
  • Store compliance: any known rejections or policy issues?
Step 7: Code Quality Assessment

Evaluate code health:

  • Test coverage: percentage and quality (meaningful tests vs boilerplate)
  • Linting: is a linter configured and enforced?
  • Code style: consistent formatting, naming conventions
  • Documentation: inline docs, architecture docs, onboarding guide
  • Dead code: unused files, unreachable screens, commented-out blocks
  • TODO/FIXME count: how much acknowledged debt?
Step 8: Dependency Freshness

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Check dependency health:

  • Major version behind: any dependencies 2+ major versions behind?
  • Security vulnerabilities: known CVEs in current dependency versions?
  • Deprecated dependencies: any libraries that are no longer maintained?
  • Lock file present: is the dependency graph deterministic?
  • Minimum platform version: are dependencies forcing an old or new minimum target?
