android/skills

Android skills are a dedicated repository of AI-optimized, modular instructions and
resources, to help agents better understand and execute specific patterns that follow the best
practices and guidance on Android development
from developer.android.com.
Android skills follow the open-standard agent skills - markdown
files (SKILL.md) that provide a technical specification of a task, and ground LLMs with
information on specialized domains and workflows.
Our Android skill development focuses on use cases and workflows where evaluations show LLMs
underperform.
We aren't prioritizing well-established areas where LLMs are already proficient, such
as basic Jetpack Compose best practices.

### Install Android skills
Use Android CLI to install a specific skill into the current directory:
android skills add r8-analyzer --project=.
Use Android CLI to install all Android skills to directories for all detected agents:
android skills add --all
If you don't have any existing agent directories and don't specify particular agents, the skills
will be installed for Gemini and Antigravity at ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills.
Options:
--all - Add all Android skills. If omitted, only the android-cli skill will be installed.
--agent - A comma-separated list of agents to install the skill for. If omitted, the skill will be installed for all detected agents.
--project - Path to a project root in which to install the skills.
To update all skills or specific ones, run:
android skills update --all
android skills update wear-compose-m3
### Install as an agent plugin
Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add android/skills
/plugin install android-skills@android-skills
Codex:
codex plugin marketplace add android/skills
codex plugin add android-skills@android-skills
### Activate skills
Your agent automatically activates skills that are relevant to your task. To use a skill, prompt your agent to complete a task that is related to the skill, for example "Make my app UI edge-to-edge." The agent should automatically find and use the skill if it has been installed.
