Android Developers: Agentic engineering with Claude Code and Android CLI

Stop copy-pasting into AI chat windows and start delegating to your agent. This practical, example-driven session shows you how to level up your agentic engineering using Claude Code and the Android CLI. We will walk through a complete workflow to automate complex development tasks and ship features faster.



You will learn to:

- Optimize the token efficiency of your harness using Android CLI, Skills, Hooks and MCP.

- Offload and parallelize long-running tasks to subagents.

- Set up continuous verification loops that stop early termination and run until tests pass.
