What it does

Termux is an agent skill from niki914/zafiro. Load this skill for anything involving Termux (com.termux) — first-time SSH setup, connecting to Termux, or a Termux connection that stopped working.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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. It works with Android. The repository describes itself as: Open-source BYOK AI agent for Android. Full phone control, native Shell & Python 3, with Skills and MCP support. Built with Material 3 Expressive. Works via Shizuku (root… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Mobile work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/termux”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d50b2ab. 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 (its code samples are 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

Termux loads about 688 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~688

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.

Termux

Termux is a separate Android app. Zafiro cannot run anything inside it directly, so SSH is the only way in.

Connecting needs host, port, username and password. Those exist only in the user's Termux install, so the user has to supply them; until all four are known no Termux work is possible. Once known, record all of them — password included — with the memory tool.

Defaults of a normal Termux install: SSH is not installed out of the box, the server listens on 127.0.0.1:8022 (loopback is enough, no LAN IP or Wi-Fi involved), the username is what whoami prints and looks like u0_a123, password authentication is on by default and must stay on because Zafiro's SSH client cannot use a private key, and sshd is an ordinary process inside Termux that dies whenever Termux is killed — so a refused or timed-out connection usually just means Termux is no longer running.

No memory of Termux yet (never configured)

Setup happens in Termux by the user: passwd needs a real terminal, and we cannot type into Termux's terminal view. Paste this block into the reply and ask the user to run it, then report whatever Termux prints, errors included:

sh
pkg update -y && pkg install -y openssh
passwd
whoami
sshd

pkg install provides sshd, passwd sets the login password and never echoes it, whoami prints the username, sshd starts the server. If Termux is not installed at all, the user has to install it from F-Droid and open it once first — do not install it yourself.

When the user reports the username and password, save host 127.0.0.1, port 8022 and both values to memory, then connect and confirm the login actually works before saying setup is complete. If something failed, ask for the exact error rather than guessing corrections.

Memory already has the connection details

Connect with the remembered values. If it fails, ask the user:

  • Connection refused or timed out — Termux is closed and sshd is gone. Ask whether Termux is running; if not, ask the user to open Termux and run sshd. DO NOT launch or operate anything on the device yourself unless the user asks for it.
  • Authentication failed — username or password is wrong. Ask the user to confirm both, then update memory.
  • Termux was changed or reinstalled — username and password are new; run the setup block again and replace the old memory entries rather than keeping both.

HARD GATE

  • DO NOT launch Termux unless the user asks you to 'launch'
  • Memorize the username, password, host, and port and any possible lessons during the experience
