 "title": "Install and check the ARTEMIS helper on a phone",
 "page_title": "How to install and check the ARTEMIS helper on a phone with Artemis",
 "summary": "Pre-install the accessibility helper and run diagnostics before a test session.",
 "who": "A QA engineer preparing a shared test phone before a batch of automated runs.",
 "problem": "The first task on a device waits about 3 seconds while the helper installs, and a failing helper can disrupt a run mid-task.",
 "outcome": "A device with the helper installed and a diagnostic report showing whether ARTEMIS can drive it.",
 "steps": [
  "Connect the Android device with USB Debugging enabled, or start an emulator.",
  "Run `uv run artemis helper install` to pre-install the helper.",
  "Run `uv run artemis helper status` to confirm the helper is installed.",
  "Run `uv run artemis doctor` and review the report for any problems.",
  "If you do not want the helper, set `ARTEMIS_HELPER_AUTO_INSTALL=false` in `.env` or use `ARTEMIS_HIERARCHY_BACKEND=uiautomator`."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the google/artemis repo, run `uv run artemis helper install`, then `uv run artemis helper status`, then `uv run artemis doctor` against the connected device. Expected output: the helper status and the doctor report. Verify that the helper is listed as installed before any test task is started.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The helper is an accessibility service that reads the screen layout, so a user should review the notice and Settings > Accessibility entry on the phone before installing it.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "An Android device with USB Debugging enabled, or a running emulator",
  "git and a terminal (macOS, Linux, or Windows PowerShell)",
  "uv and Python, which the start script can install for you",
  "An AI IDE such as Antigravity, Codex, or Claude Code, if you want MCP control"
