What it does
Phone Harness is an agent skill from milind-soni/OpenMausBot. Control, inspect, test, or automate a physical Android phone connected to OpenMausBot over authorized USB debugging. Use for explicit Android, USB phone, ADB, mobile-app, tapping, typing, swiping, scrolling, screenshot, or phone-screen requests.
Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `manifest.json`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging and Desktop control. It works with Android, Docker, Expo and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Grok Bot alternative with a virtual machine that bots can use. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Explicit Android
- Phone-screen requests
Example prompts
- “/phone-harness”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call status before the first action. If the device is missing or
- Call open_app with the human app name. Do not scan the launcher first.
- Call read_screen before choosing a target and after every action. Prefer
- Use swipe, type_text, and press for interaction, verifying each step.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ea18ea. 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
Phone Harness loads about 364 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 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.

- description
- Control, inspect, test, or automate a physical Android phone connected to OpenMausBot over authorized USB debugging. Use for explicit Android, USB phone, ADB, mobile-app, tapping, typing, swiping, scrolling, screenshot, or phone-screen requests.
Phone Harness
Use the phone tools for every requested Android action. Never replace them
with Bash, raw adb, subprocess, an emulator, network ADB, or Tailscale.
- Call
statusbefore the first action. If the device is missing or unauthorized, stop and relay the physical setup instruction. - Call
open_appwith the human app name. Do not scan the launcher first. Uselist_appsonly when the name is ambiguous. - Call
read_screenbefore choosing a target and after every action. Prefertap_text; usescreenshotand pixeltaponly when accessibility text cannot identify the target. - Use
swipe,type_text, andpressfor interaction, verifying each step.
The tools operate the user's real phone. Navigate and read only what the task needs. Stop before sending, posting, purchasing, booking, deleting, changing settings, entering protected information, or accepting an unexpected legal or security prompt unless the user has explicitly authorized that exact action.
Never enter passwords, payment details, government identifiers, or one-time codes. Ask the user to complete protected-input steps directly on the phone.
