phone-harness skillA

phone-harness is agent-read markdown (skill) from shawnpana/phone-harness: Control the user's phone — an iPhone through the Mac's iPhone Mirroring window, an Android over adb, or a rented cloud Android: open apps, tap, type, swipe, read the screen..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# phone-harness

Direct control of a phone from Python scripts. The same helpers drive three
kinds of phone; what differs is how each one sees and touches the screen, and
that is what the per-phone sections below are for. Read **Which phone**, the
shared **Working method**, and then only the section for the phone in front
of you.

## Which phone?

| Phone | How it is reached | Eyes | Hands | Read |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Cloud Android** — rented from Phone Harness Cloud, the user's own saved phone | `phone-harness cloud start` connects it; nothing to export | accessibility tree (exact), Vision OCR fallback on a Mac | adb `input` | Working method, then **Cloud phones** and **Android** |
| **Android on the desk** — USB or paired Wi-Fi | the harness finds it | accessibility tree (exact), Vision OCR fallback on a Mac | adb `input` | Working method, then **Android** |
| **iPhone** — through the Mac's iPhone Mirroring window | the user connects it | screenshots + Vision OCR | HID-level CGEvents into the window | Working method, then **iPhone** |

`phone-harness config` shows the default platform (`ios` on a Mac, `android`
