What it does

Google's official SKILL.md pack that teaches coding agents Android best practices — Compose, R8, edge-to-edge, navigation and more.

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…

Short excerpt from the README of android/skills. Read the full README on GitHub.

Step by step

  1. Open the GitHub repo and read the README.
  2. Install with Android CLI (`android skills add --all`) or as a Claude Code / Codex plugin from the marketplace (see README).
  3. Restart your agent so it picks up the skills.
  4. Ask your agent to do an Android task (e.g. edge-to-edge UI) so the matching skill can activate.

Watch out for

Most useful on Android projects; Android CLI install is the easiest path if you already use it.
