run-automation-suite
Run local Appium test scripts against Kobiton devices. Guides through app upload, device selection, capability parsing, and local execution. Use when the user asks to run mobile tests, validate an APK or IPA on Kobiton devices, or kick off an Appium suite from a local script directory. Trigger with "run kobiton tests" or "execute appium on kobiton".

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Executes Appium-based mobile test automation against Kobiton devices using a local Appium script. It guides the user through uploading or selecting an app, choosing a device, parsing and reconciling desired capabilities, and running the test in the background while surfacing session details and artifacts.
How it works
- It starts by identifying the app workflow: asks the user to either upload a new app or use an existing one from Kobiton Store or a URL, then uses uploadAppToStore and related steps to process the upload, including getAppParsingStatus until terminal state.
- It then prompts for a device selection by listing devices with a platform filter, checks device status with getDeviceStatus, and reserves a device if needed.
- It asks for the path to the local Appium test script, detects language from the file extension, and reads the script to extract capability fields (platformName, udid, app, kobiton:* extensions, etc.). It determines how the UDID is passed so it can override with the chosen device.
- It renders capabilities via the provided render-capabilities.js script using the given parameters, then reconciles the rendered output with the parsed script capabilities according to the reconciliation rules, including handling kobiton:aiToolName for adoption analytics.
- It injects kobiton:aiToolName into the script if appropriate, verified by a grep, and edits the script if needed to ensure the capability appears.
- Before execution, it presents a summary with Language, Script path, Platform, Device, App, and the exact command to run, then waits for user confirmation to execute the test in the background.
- If the user opted to watch the run, it can open a live session in a browser; otherwise, it proceeds with a device-only or full session launch URL based on user choice, and uses a chromeless launcher when appropriate.
When to use it
Use when the user asks to run mobile tests, validate an APK or IPA on Kobiton devices, or kick off a Kobiton-hosted Appium suite from a local script directory. Trigger phrases include "run kobiton tests" or "execute appium on kobiton".
What it can touch
- Tools and scripts:
uploadAppToStore,confirmAppUpload,getAppParsingStatus,listApps,listDevices,getDeviceStatus,reserveDevice,render-capabilities.js. - It renders capabilities into the local test script and may modify the script to inject
kobiton:aiToolNamecapability as determined by runtime detection.
Caveats
- Requires Kobiton MCP access and authentication via
.mcp.jsonor.mcp.apikey-example.json. - Requires Node.js >= 18 and Appium 2.x; test scripts must use Appium WebDriver protocol.
- The injection of
kobiton:aiToolNameis non-interactive and relies on runtime markers; if not applicable, no change is made. - The execution is performed in the background; user confirmation is required prior to launching.
# Run Automation Suite ## Overview Execute Appium-based mobile test automation suites on Kobiton's device cloud. Given a local Appium test script, this skill identifies the target app, selects an available device, parses and reconciles capabilities, runs the script in the background, and surfaces the resulting session URL plus artifacts (video, logs, screenshots, reports).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill run-automation-suite --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
