Use this skill to move files between host and device with adb pull and adb push, including the modern -z (compression), -Z (no compression), --sync, and -a (preserve attrs) flags. Covers the path-permission rules — /data/local/tmp/ is freely writable, /sdcard/ (alias /storage/emulated/0/) is shell-writable with scoped-storage rules on API 30+, /data/data/ / requires run-as on debuggable builds, and /sdcard/Android/data/ /files/ is package-owned but pullable. Includes adb shell run-as cat for text grabs, adb exec-out run-as tar cf - | tar xf - for binary-clean directory grabs, the connectedandroidtestadditionaloutput/ Gradle output dir, and the androidx.test:services useTestStorageService flag for the modern artefact-collection API. If the user mentions "adb pull permission denied data data", "run-as", "scoped storage shell", "tar through adb", "test storage service", or "exec-out vs shell for binary", use this skill.

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.
Use this skill to move files between host and device with `adb pull` and `adb push`, including the modern `-z` (compression), `-Z` (no compression), `--sync`, and `-a` (preserve attrs) flags. Covers the path-permission rules — `/data/local/tmp/` is freely writable, `/sdcard/` (alias `/storage/emulated/0/`) is shell-writable with scoped-storage rules on API 30+, `/data/data/<pkg>/` requires `run-as <pkg>` on debuggable builds, and `/sdcard/Android/data/<pkg>/files/` is package-owned but pullable. Includes `adb shell run-as <pkg> cat <path>` for text grabs, `adb exec-out run-as <pkg> tar cf - <path> | tar xf -` for binary-clean directory grabs, the `connected_android_test_additional_output/` Gradle output dir, and the `androidx.test:services` `useTestStorageService` flag for the modern artefact-collection API. If the user mentions "adb pull permission denied data data", "run-as", "scoped storage shell", "tar through adb", "test storage service", or "exec-out vs shell for binary", use this skill.
