What it does
Launch On Device is an agent skill from zly2006/zhihu-plus-plus. Build, install, and launch the Zhihu++ Android app on a connected device using ADB. Includes comprehensive troubleshooting for common issues like missing devices, installation failures, signature mismatches, and app crashes. Use when deploying debug builds to physical devices or emulators.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `deploy.sh`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging and Android development. It works with Android and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Zhihu++ | 知乎++: Ad-free, low cost, AI powered zhihu android 3rd-party client. 去广告、占用低、AI大模型的新时代知乎安卓端体验.
When your agent uses it
- Deploying debug builds to physical devices
- Tasks that involve Mobile testing and debugging
- Tasks that involve Android development
Example prompts
- “/launch-on-device”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Check ADB Connection
- Build the APK
- Install APK to Device
- Launch the App
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2daa669. 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 script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
adbpython3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
developer.android.com
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
Launch On Device loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (CC-BY-NC-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 542 words (~3,148 tokens).
“This skill documents how to build, install, and launch the Zhihu++ Android app on a connected device using ADB (Android Debug Bridge).”
