From visual-app-skills
Build, install, and run a native Android app (Kotlin or Java, Jetpack Compose or Views, Gradle) on a connected device or emulator, capture real screenshots via adb, read logcat, and verify the visible UI and runtime behavior match what a recent code change intended. Use whenever the user asks to "test the app", "run it on the emulator", "see the visual changes", "verify a UI fix", "check if my change works/renders", or otherwise wants empirical on-device confirmation that a native Android change rendered correctly — even when they don't say "screenshot" or "logs". Handles the Gradle install task (and build variants/flavors), launching the activity, waiting for the first frame, navigating with adb input, capturing the screen, reading logcat scoped to the app, and reporting a concrete verdict with evidence. Optionally diffs against a Figma reference when one is provided.

Interactive, on-device verification of a native Android app (Kotlin/Java,
Jetpack Compose or classic Views) — the "did my last change actually render
correctly" check. Installs the app via Gradle, launches the activity, captures
real screenshots via adb, reads logcat, and gives a concrete verdict.

does not launch the app — see the framework reference for the am start step.
Provides behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, focusing on simplicity, surgical changes, assumption surfacing, and verifiable success criteria.
