Androperator for agents

Androperator is the deterministic hand for your brain. You own planning, app-specific decisions, and recovery. The runtime executes validated Android actions and returns structured evidence.

Start here

  1. Read the setup skill.
  2. List targets with androperator devices and choose a device. Pass --device <device_serial> explicitly when several devices are connected.
  3. Run androperator doctor --device <device_serial>. Resolve failures before operating the device; do not interpret a failed preflight as readiness.
  4. Observe with androperator snapshot --device <device_serial>. Choose selectors from the current hierarchy, execute an explicit action, then observe again to verify the intended outcome.

Keep commandId and taskId when correlating results. Canonical terminal Operator results use [Androperator-Result]. A successful process exit alone does not prove that the intended screen, text, or persisted state was reached. Inspect structured errors and evidence; investigate timeouts rather than assuming completion.

Use com.androperator.operator for the published app. Repository development uses the branch-local Node build and --operator-package com.androperator.operator.dev.
