What it does

Kuri Android is an agent skill from justrach/kuri. Use kuri-android to drive Android devices and emulators from the CLI via a native Zig adb wire-protocol client. Read the screen with state (foreground app plus every actionable element, with tap-ready coordinates), tap by selector (--label/--id/--class/--desc/--index) rather than raw coordinates, swipe (scroll), double-tap, long-press, type text with --clear to replace a field, press hardware/navigation keys, take PNG screenshots, dump the UI tree, read notifications, launch/terminate apps by package, list…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Mobile testing and debugging and Android development. It works with Android and iOS. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation, web crawling, and iOS + Android device control for AI agents. Zig-native, token-efficient CDP snapshots, HAR recording, native adb wire-protocol client, and a…

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases include tap on android phone
  • Screenshot the emulator
  • List connected android devices
  • Dump the android ui tree

Example prompts

  • “tap on android phone”
  • “screenshot the emulator”
  • “list connected android devices”
  • “/kuri-android”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8c4f5b9. 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:

    • adb
    • brew

    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

Kuri Android loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 216 tokens; SKILL.md has 832 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~216
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 832 words (~2,158 tokens).

“Drive Android devices and emulators through the kuri android subcommand. Implementation lives in kuri-mobile/src/android/ and the main kuri binary forwards kuri android … to the kuri-mobile binary.”
