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.

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.
