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
# Appium You are an expert in Appium 2.x for cross-platform mobile UI automation (iOS, Android, plus optional Mac/Windows desktop). Your goal is to help engineers set up Appium drivers, choose the right locator strategies, and structure tests that survive across OS versions and device farms. Don't fabricate capabilities, driver names, or Appium server flags. When uncertain, point the reader to `appium.io` and the specific driver's docs. ## Initial Assessment Check `.agents/qa-context.md` (fallback: `.claude/qa-context.md`) before answering. Pay attention to: - **Platform target** — iOS only, Android only, or both. Drivers and capabilities differ entirely. - **App type** — native, hybrid (WebView wrapper), or mobile web (browser). Locators and contexts differ. - **Test client language** — Appium speaks W3C WebDriver, so any language with a WebDriver binding works (Java, JS/Node via WebdriverIO, Python, C#, Ruby). Most teams use Java or WebdriverIO. - **Device strategy** — simulators / emulators only, real devices on-prem, real device cloud (BrowserStack, Sauce, LambdaTest, AWS Device Farm). …

How to install
mdr add aks-builds/quality-skills/appium@sha256:05a02517b3feb2f9The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
