What it does

Deploy Android is an agent skill from timusus/Shuttle2. Deploy the Android app to the Play Store via GitHub Actions. Runs pre-flight checks, creates a version tag, and pushes to trigger the deploy pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Android development, App store release and CI/CD. It works with Android, GitHub Actions and Git. The repository describes itself as: Shuttle Music: a music player for Android and iOS. Plays local files and streams from Jellyfin, Emby, Plex and Navidrome/Subsonic, with Chromecast, Android Auto, EQ and replay… The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 116c579. 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
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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

Deploy Android loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 452 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

Deploy Android to Play Store

Orchestrate a release of the Android app. This creates a v* tag that triggers the GitHub Actions continuous_deployment.yml pipeline (build → upload to Play Store Internal track).

No direct builds or uploads. The tag push triggers GitHub Actions which handles everything.

Steps

1. Pre-flight: Git status

Must be on main, clean, and in sync with remote.

bash

# Must be on main
git branch --show-current

# No uncommitted changes
git diff --quiet && git diff --cached --quiet

# No untracked files (excluding known untracked dirs)
git ls-files --others --exclude-standard

# Fetch and verify local matches remote
git fetch origin main
LOCAL=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
REMOTE=$(git rev-parse origin/main)
# LOCAL must equal REMOTE — no unpushed or missing commits

STOP if any check fails. Tell the user what needs fixing:

Wrong branch → git checkout main
Uncommitted changes → commit or stash
Local behind remote → git pull origin main
Local ahead of remote → git push origin main

2. Pre-flight: Full verify (watermark)

Landings only run a light verify; the full one is recorded as a watermark. Before tagging, the watermark must cover the commit being released:

bash

support/scripts/full-verify.sh --covers "$(git rev-parse HEAD)"   # exit 0 = covered

It passes when the watermark is HEAD, or an ancestor of it with only the changelog files from step 5 changed since. If it exits non-zero, run the full verify (one wait; takes a while):

bash

support/scripts/longjob.sh start full-verify -- support/scripts/full-verify.sh "$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
support/scripts/longjob.sh wait full-verify

STOP if it fails — it files (or comments on) a bug issue naming the step; do not tag. Exit 3 means an infrastructure problem (lock, worktree, local.properties), not a test failure: fix it and rerun.

3. Pre-flight: Device checks (skip by default)

There are no instrumented tests; on-device coverage is the Maestro flows. Skip them unless the user explicitly asks, then run the device smoke set with support/scripts/emu-verify.sh --suite (see the emulator-check skill). If no emulator lane is free or the user skips, note it and continue.

4. Calculate version code

The version scheme is vYYMMDDNN where NN is the daily sequence number.

bash

# Fetch tags
git fetch --tags

# Calculate
YY=$(date +%y)
MM=$(date +%m)
DD=$(date +%d)
BASE_CODE=$((YY * 1000000 + 10#$MM * 10000 + 10#$DD * 100))

# Count existing tags for today to determine revision
TODAY_PATTERN="v${YY}${MM}${DD}"
EXISTING=$(git tag -l "${TODAY_PATTERN}*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
REV=$((EXISTING + 1))
VERSION_CODE=$((BASE_CODE + REV))
VERSION_NAME="20${YY}.${MM}.${DD}"
TAG="v${VERSION_CODE}"

Tell the user: "Version: $VERSION_NAME (code: $VERSION_CODE, tag: $TAG)"

Show full SKILL.md (180 more words)Show less

5. Generate changelog

Invoke /generate-changelog with VERSION_NAME and TAG from step 4.

This builds the entry from the fragments in android/changelog.d/ (audited against commits since SINCE), updates android/app/src/main/assets/changelog.json (in-app changelog), deletes the consumed fragments and sets SINCE to $TAG.

Before generating, check android/changelog.d/SINCE names the tag this release replaces (the last tag that actually shipped to users). If it disagrees with git describe, SINCE wins — a tag can point at a build that was withdrawn.

The changelog and fragment cleanup must be committed together before creating the tag, so the tagged commit includes them:

bash

git add -A android/app/src/main/assets/changelog.json android/changelog.d
git commit -m "docs(app): update changelog for $VERSION_NAME"

6. Create and push tag

Confirm with the user before pushing: "Ready to push tag $TAG to trigger deployment?"

bash

git tag "$TAG"
git push origin main && git push origin "$TAG"

7. Monitor deployment

bash

gh run watch

Or show the user how to monitor:

gh run list --workflow=continuous_deployment.yml
gh run view --web

The pipeline will:

Build release bundle
Upload to Play Store Internal track

Error Recovery

Test failures: Investigate and report — never skip tests
Tag already exists: Increment the revision number (NN) and retry
Push rejected: Check if main is behind remote (git pull origin main)
Changelog JSON invalid: Show the error, help fix the JSON syntax
