## What it does

The plugin gives your agent a workflow around the Android emulator. It reproduces a problem, takes screenshots, walks the UI tree, captures logs and profiles performance. All inside a Codex or ChatGPT session, so you are not juggling windows.

Under the hood it leans on `adb`, `logcat` and `uiautomator`, with `simpleperf` and `perfetto` named for profiling. Memory, leaks and heap are listed too, so heavy cases are covered. Handy when a bug only shows up on a device and you need evidence fast: a log, a screenshot, a trace.

Running it without an emulator and a working `adb` will get you nowhere, since the whole flow is built on them. Published by OpenAI under MIT.

## When to use it
- reproduce a bug that only appears on a device
- capture a screenshot at the exact moment
- inspect the UI tree and locate an element
- pull `logcat` output for the duration of a test
- measure performance and track down a memory leak

## Example prompts
- reproduce the crash on the emulator and show me the logs
- take a screenshot after tapping the sign-in button
- profile app startup and find the bottleneck
