How to keep installed Android Skills up to date with Skills

Run the update command so every installed skill matches the current repository version.

Who it is forAndroid developer who installed Skills weeks or months ago and wants the agent to use the current guidance.

The problemInstalled skill files do not change on their own, so an agent can keep using older instructions.

The outcomeAll installed Android Skills are updated, or a single named skill is updated.

What you need first

  • Android CLI, documented at developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-cli
  • An AI agent that reads skills, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini
  • An Android project to work on

Steps

  1. Install Android CLI from developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-cli, if it is not already installed.
  2. Run android skills update --all to update all installed Skills.
  3. To update one skill, run android skills update wear-compose-m3.
  4. Start a new agent session so it loads the updated Skills.
  5. Ask the agent one task that uses a skill you updated to confirm it responds as expected.

Prompt for your agent

Update all Android skills from the android/skills repository with the Android CLI, then ask the agent to perform one Android task at <project path>. Report which skills were updated. Verify by confirming the update command finished without errors before running the task.

Caveat. The README does not say how often Skills are published, so check for updates before important work rather than assuming they are current.
