Android skills at a glance

Checked 18 Oct 2026

Android skills is Google's repo of SKILL.md instructions that steer coding agents toward Android best practice, aimed at tasks where the README says evaluations show LLMs underperform (for example R8 analysis and Wear Compose). Install with the Android CLI (`android skills add --all`) or as a Claude Code or Codex plugin. Apache-2.0. It needs an AI coding agent; the README does not say a paid plan is required. Public contributions are not accepted. It does not replace a paid product.
