Automate Android apps that have no public API or web version by driving the UI layer through the Accessibility Service. Handles: deep-link launch (open an app into a specific screen), intelligent node location (find a button or text by fuzzy match, not exact text), tap-and-verify (confirm an action had its effect), and human-like swipes. Use this whenever the user wants to control a phone-only app on Android — e.g. "open Spotify and play X", "tap the like button", "swipe through my feed…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Android UI Automation Drive Android apps through their **UI layer** when they have no public API or web version. This is the fallback that makes "phone-only" apps automatable. ## Environment & dependencies (read first) This skill drives **the user's Android phone**. It relies on two CLI tools that ship with the **Minis app for Android** (installed at `/usr/local/bin/` inside the Minis runtime): | CLI | Role | |---|---| | `android-a11y-cli` | Accessibility-Service bridge: `ui dump`, `tap node`, `gesture swipe`, `wait`, `extract`, ... | | `android-open` | Launch any URL/scheme via the system handler (`spotify://...`, `weixin://...`, `tel:`, ...) | **Prerequisites on the device:** 1. Minis app installed (Android). These CLIs do **not** exist on other hosts (macOS/Windows/other Linux) — verify with `which android-a11y-cli` first, and if missing, tell the user this skill only runs inside Minis on Android. 2. **Minis Accessibility Service enabled**: Settings → Accessibility → Minis. Check with `android-a11y-cli service ping`; if it reports not running, ask the user to re-enable it before anything else. 3. The target app installed on the same device. …

How to install
mdr add openminis/minisskills/android-ui-automation@sha256:8db4aa65ab9fb38cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.ba840b8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
