Eight new Android CLI commands just dropped to help you delegate tedious infrastructure work to your agents. 🤖⚡ We built Android CLI as a tool-first interface packed with 30+ skills so your agent can build efficiently across any model or harness without burning tokens guessing. Here's what your agent can do with Android CLI: - Fix memory leaks: Spin up parallel emulators and run the new LeakCanary CLI to offload heap analysis and resolve leaks automatically - Profile startup times: Drive repeatable user journeys, record Perfetto traces, query bottlenecks with SQL, and verify the fixes - Run pre-publish checks: Analyze R8 rules locally, pull live vitals and Crashlytics data, and test on real remote devices Give your agents the right tools so you can get back to building. 🛠️ Try it in your terminal and with your agent of choice: https://goo.gle/47JEI27

🎯 We have 30+ Android skills to help you delegate tedious infrastructure work to your agents. Your models are only as good as the knowledge and context they have. Models often miss the latest guidance in fast-moving areas like Compose performance, advanced Camera APIs, and security. 🧠 We intentionally target these gaps to give your agents true expertise. Backed by strict evals, these specialized instructions ensure your models stop guessing and start following Google’s recommended patterns. Great tools require a solid knowledge base. Equip your agents with the exact knowledge they need to build high-quality apps faster, through the Android CLI knowledge base. Install Android CLI (https://goo.gle/4jIHUC9) and try it in your terminal: android skills find performance → android skills add [<skill>]. Then let your agent loose on one screen. Comment what it found 👇 (Check out our GitHub repo: https://goo.gle/46POb7r)

People who use the same app on their phone and their laptop spend 9x more in the app than people who only use a phone. Googlebook lets you reach those laptop users without building a second app. One codebase, both screens. Features like Continue On keep users connected across devices, while adaptive development helps you scale across form factors from a single codebase. 💻 To optimize your layout, add the Adaptive skill with desktop support via Android CLI and prompt your agent: "Identify and implement all relevant keyboard shortcuts, tooltips, and custom cursors in this app." Share your before/after. 👇
