// Specialized workflow for reverse engineering Android applications (APKs/AABs). Use this when tasked with analyzing app logic, security auditing, identifying tracking/malware, or extracting assets/code from Android apps using tools like adb, apktool, and jadx.
Automates the Android app release process, including version bumping, changelog creation, committing, and GitHub release creation.
Comprehensive technical research across GitHub, Google, and internal project knowledge. Use when tasked with finding libraries, researching implementation patterns, or looking up technical specifications.
Generates a new screen (Activity, Screen Composable, ViewModel) and registers it in the manifest and DI module. Use this when the user wants to add a new screen or feature to the app.
A high-standard development workflow skill. Use this for implementing features or fixes to ensure research, logic reuse, clean code, review, and build verification.

This skill provides a systematic, expert-level workflow for reverse engineering Android apps. It focuses on identifying core logic, security vulnerabilities, and hidden behaviors, especially in QR code and utility applications.
apktool for resources and jadx for Java/Kotlin code.AndroidManifest.xml for permissions, activities, and intent filters.adb to monitor logs, interact with activities, and inspect files.apktool d <app.apk> -o <output_dir>jadx -d <source_dir> <app.apk> (or use JADX-GUI for interactive search).AndroidManifest.xml: Look for android:debuggable="true", exported components, and sensitive permissions.assets/ and res/: Check for bundled configuration files, certificates, or hidden assets.smali/ (if Java source is unavailable or obfuscated): Expert analysis of low-level logic.adb install <app.apk>adb logcat | grep <package_name>adb shelladb shell am start -n <package>/<activity>adb shell ls -R /data/data/<package> (requires root for some paths).When finished, generate a report based on references/report_template.md.
