# android-cli output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Orchestrates Android development tasks including project creation, deployment, SDK management, and environment diagnostics using the `android` command-line tool. This skill provides instructions for using the android CLI tool. The tool includes various commands for creating projects, running applications, interacting with devices, and managing the CLI env….
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Installation / SDK management / Project creation” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Orchestrates Android development tasks including project creation, deployment, SDK management, and environment diagnostics using the `android` command-line tool. This skill provides instructions for using the android CLI tool. The tool includes various commands for creating projects, running applications, interacting with devices, and managing the CLI env…”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Installation / SDK management / Project creation” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; may access external network resources; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; may access external network resources; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Installation / SDK management / Project creation”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# android-cli
## When to use
- Orchestrates Android development tasks including project creation, deployment, SDK management, and environment diagnos…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Installation / SDK management / Project creation” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; may access external network resources; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

input -> user goal + target files + boundaries + acceptance criteria
context -> Installation / SDK management / Project creation
rules -> SKILL.md triggers / order / output contract
runtime -> no special runtime | read files, write/modify files | may access external network resources
guardrails -> usually needs no extra API key + small-sample validation + diff/log review

} Android CLI Specialist
This skill provides instructions for using the android CLI tool. The tool includes various commands for creating projects, running applications, interacting with devices, and managing the CLI environment.
Installation
If the android tool is not in the path, install it. To install run the following command: Linux: curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/linux_x86_64/install.sh | bash Mac Arm: curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/darwin_arm64/install.sh | bash Mac Intel: curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/darwin_x86_64/install.sh | bash Windows: curl -fsSL https://dl.google.com/android/cli/latest/windows_x86_64/install.cmd -o "%TEMP%\i.cmd" && "%TEMP%\i.cmd"
SDK management
To manage the installation of Android SDKs and tools, use the sdk command. For example:
android sdk install <package>[@<version>]...: Install specific packages. Multiple packages can be specified, separated by spaces.<version>defaults to latest. For example:android sdk install platforms/android-30@2 platforms/android-34android sdk update [<pkg-name>]: Update a specific package or all packages to the latest version.android sdk remove <pkg-name>: Remove a package from the local SDK.android sdk list --all: List installed and available SDK packages.
Project creation
Create projects from templates using the create command.
For example: android create empty-activity --name="My App" --output=./my-app
Interacting with devices
For more information on interacting with running devices, see here
Running journey tests
For more information on running journeys, see here
Doc searching
The docs command searches authoritative, high-quality Android developer documentation in the Android Knowledge Base.
By providing a few keywords, this tool will return high quality articles that contain examples or guidance on how to use Android APIs or libraries.
Use this tool to obtain additional information on how to achieve Android-specific tasks or to know more about Android APIs, surfaces, libraries, or devices.
Always use this tool to get the most up-to-date information about Android concepts. Typical good use cases are:
- Finding migration guides for APIs.
- Finding examples for APIs.
- Finding up-to-date information about Android APIs.
- Finding best practices for Android concepts.
Running APKs
Use the run command to run Android apps.
Managing emulators
Manage Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) using the android emulator command
Capturing screenshots
Capture an image of the current screen of a connected Android device and output it to a file using the android screenshot command.
Managing skills
Manage antigravity agent skills for Android using the android skills command.
Inspecting UI Layouts
Use the android layout command to inspect the UI layout of an Android application. It returns the layout tree of an Android application in JSON format. When debugging UI errors, this is often a much faster approach than taking a screenshot.
Updating the CLI
Update the Android CLI using the android update command.
