What it does

Dev Environment Setup is an agent skill from Paresh-Maheshwari/morphe-ai. Complete Morphe development environment setup — prerequisites, cloning repos, gradle auth, IDE config, build commands. Use when setting up a new dev environment or troubleshooting build/auth issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Gradle and Java. The repository describes itself as: Morphe's AI-powered Android APK patching workspace — multi-agent pipeline for APK analysis, target hunting, patch writing & deployment. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Setting up a new dev environment

Example prompts

“/dev-environment-setup”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d7fde2. 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:
- git
- gh
- apt
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- github.com
- maven.pkg.github.com
- jitpack.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GITHUB_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dev Environment Setup loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 261 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

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.

NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:25

sudo apt install -y openjdk-21-jdk jadx libsmali-java apktool aapt ripgrep adb dex2jar gh

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

Morphe Development Environment Setup

Prerequisites

JDK 21 recommended for development (aligns with template CI). JDK 17 is the stated minimum in the desktop source, but JDK 21 gives a unified workspace/CI toolchain.
JRE 21+ required to run the CLI (morphe-cli.jar).
Android reverse engineering tools for analysis: jadx, baksmali (local analysis/tests only — patch builds use the patcher's own pinned baksmali/smali fork, not the distro package)
ripgrep (rg) for fast code search
GitHub CLI (gh) for auth and releases
Python tools via uvx: apkid, androguard

Note: baksmali/smali from apt is fine for local DEX analysis and manual smali reading. It is not used during ./gradlew buildAndroid — the Gradle plugin uses its own pinned fork.

Quick Install (analysis tools)

bash

sudo apt install -y openjdk-21-jdk jadx libsmali-java apktool aapt ripgrep adb dex2jar gh
# Python tools — no install needed, uvx runs latest version
# uvx apkid app.apk
# uvx androguard analyze -i app.apk

GitHub Auth

bash

gh auth login
TOKEN=$(gh auth token)
mkdir -p ~/.gradle
cat > ~/.gradle/gradle.properties << EOF
gpr.user = <GitHub username>
gpr.key = $TOKEN
EOF

Clone Repos

bash

mkdir morphe && cd morphe
# Template for creating custom patches
git clone https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-patches-template
# Optional: clone official patches for reference
git clone https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-patches
git clone https://github.com/MorpheApp/morphe-patcher

The CLI binary (morphe-cli.jar) is downloaded by ./setup-cli.sh — no need to build morphe-desktop locally.

Gradle Plugin Config

settings.gradle.kts (template already has this configured):

kotlin

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        maven {
            name = "GitHubPackages"
            url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/MorpheApp/registry")
            credentials {
                username = providers.gradleProperty("gpr.user").orNull ?: System.getenv("GITHUB_ACTOR")
                password = providers.gradleProperty("gpr.key").orNull ?: System.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")
            }
        }
        maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
    }
}
plugins { id("app.morphe.patches") version "1.3.4" }

patches/build.gradle.kts:

kotlin

group = "app.mypatches"
patches {
    about {
        name = "My Patches"
        description = "Custom patches"
        source = "git@github.com:user/repo.git"
        author = "Author"
        contact = "na"
        website = "na"
        license = "GPLv3"
    }
}

Extension build.gradle.kts:

kotlin

extension { name = "extensions/extension.mpe" }
android { namespace = "app.morphe.extension" }

Build Commands

bash

# Build patches → patches/build/libs/patches-<version>.mpp
PATCHES_DIR="${MORPHE_PATCHES_DIR:-morphe-patches}"
cd "${PATCHES_DIR}" && ./gradlew buildAndroid

Signing Key

The CLI uses the resolved data-root morphe.keystore by default. It is stable for desktop runs but is not automatically the same key stored by Morphe Manager on a phone. No project-root keystore is required.

To share an identity, export/import the key or pass the same custom --keystore <path>. BKS, PKCS12, and JKS inputs are supported; PKCS12/JKS are converted to a copy and the source is unchanged.

Troubleshooting

Auth failure: Check ~/.gradle/gradle.properties has gpr.user and gpr.key
Wrong JDK / CLI fails: Ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK 21+; CLI requires JRE 21+
MPP file names change after releases: Run git pull then re-read gradle.properties
Composite builds: If morphe-patcher exists as sibling dir, it's auto-included
