Production-ready scripts for Android app testing, building, and automation.

  • Tasks that involve Mobile testing and debugging
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Production Scripts, Common Patterns and Requirements, plus 1 more section

What it does

Android Emulator Skill is an agent skill from Moustachauve/WLED-Android. Production-ready scripts for Android app testing, building, and automation. Provides semantic UI navigation, build automation, log monitoring, and emulator lifecycle management. Optimized for AI agents with minimal token output.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/app_launcher.py`, `scripts/build_and_test.py` and `scripts/common.py`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging and Android development. It works with Android. The repository describes itself as: Native Android application for WLED. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Mobile testing and debugging
  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “/android-emulator-skill”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. build_and_test.py - Build Android projects, run tests, parse results
  2. log_monitor.py - Real-time log monitoring with intelligent filtering

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e164a8. 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

    Ships 10 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • adb
    • bash

    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

Android Emulator Skill loads about 911 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 331 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~911

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Android Emulator Skill

Build, test, and automate Android applications using accessibility-driven navigation and structured data instead of pixel coordinates.

Quick Start

bash
# 1. Check environment
bash scripts/emu_health_check.sh

# 2. Launch app
python scripts/app_launcher.py --launch com.example.app

# 3. Map screen to see elements
python scripts/screen_mapper.py

# 4. Tap button
python scripts/navigator.py --find-text "Login" --tap

# 5. Enter text
python scripts/navigator.py --find-type EditText --enter-text "user@example.com"

All scripts support --help for detailed options and --json for machine-readable output.

Production Scripts

Build & Development
  1. build_and_test.py - Build Android projects, run tests, parse results

    • Wrapper around Gradle
    • Support for assemble, install, and connectedCheck
    • Parse build errors and test results
    • Options: --task, --clean, --json
  2. log_monitor.py - Real-time log monitoring with intelligent filtering

    • Wrapper around adb logcat
    • Filter by tag, priority, or PID
    • Deduplicate repeated messages
    • Options: --package, --tag, --priority, --duration, --json
Navigation & Interaction
  1. screen_mapper.py - Analyze current screen and list interactive elements

    • Dump UI hierarchy using uiautomator
    • Parse XML to identify buttons, text fields, etc.
    • Options: --verbose, --json
  2. navigator.py - Find and interact with elements semantically

    • Find by text (fuzzy matching), resource-id, or class name
    • Interactive tapping and text entry
    • Options: --find-text, --find-id, --tap, --enter-text, --json
  3. gesture.py - Perform swipes, scrolls, and other gestures

    • Swipe up/down/left/right
    • Scroll lists
    • Options: --swipe, --scroll, --duration, --json
  4. keyboard.py - Key events and hardware buttons

    • Input key events (Home, Back, Enter, Tab)
    • Type text via ADB
    • Options: --key, --text, --json
  5. app_launcher.py - App lifecycle management

    • Terminate apps (adb shell am force-stop)
    • Install/Uninstall APKs
    • List installed packages
    • Options: --launch, --terminate, --install, --uninstall, --list, --json
Emulator Lifecycle Management
  1. emulator_manage.py - Manage Android Virtual Devices (AVDs)

    • List available AVDs
    • Boot emulators
    • Shutdown emulators
    • Options: --list, --boot, --shutdown, --json
  2. emu_health_check.sh - Verify environment is properly configured

    • Check ADB, Emulator, Java, Gradle, ANDROID_HOME
    • List connected devices

Common Patterns

Auto-Device Detection: Scripts target the single connected device/emulator if only one is present, or require -s <serial> if multiple are connected.

Output Formats: Default is concise human-readable output. Use --json for machine-readable output.

Requirements

  • Android SDK Platform-Tools (adb, fastboot)
  • Android Emulator
  • Java / OpenJDK
  • Python 3

Key Design Principles

Semantic Navigation: Find elements by text, resource-id, or content-description.

Token Efficiency: Concise default output with optional verbose and JSON modes.

Zero Configuration: Works with standard Android SDK installation.
