Connecting Over Wifi

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Connecting Over Wifi skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Connecting Over Wifi is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Security category.

Use this skill to connect ADB to an Android 11+ device wirelessly with the modern `adb pair` flow (pairing code or QR via `Settings → Developer options → Wireless debugging`), then `adb connect <host:port>` and `adb disconnect`, plus mDNS auto-discovery via `adb mdns check` / `adb mdns services` and the `_adb-tls-pairing._tcp` / `_adb-tls-connect._tcp` service types. Covers the ADB v34+ default mDNS backend (Openscreen on Linux/Windows, not Bonjour as the public doc says), the legacy `adb tcpip <port>` + `adb connect` path that pre-dates pairing, security caveats (corporate Wi-Fi blocks p2p; flat LAN exposure), version requirements (Android 11/API 30 for phones, Android 13/API 33 for TV+Wear), and the `ADB_MDNS_OPENSCREEN` / `ADB_MDNS_AUTO_CONNECT` environment variables. Use when the user mentions `adb pair`, `adb connect`, "wireless debugging", "QR code pairing", `_adb-tls-connect`, "Openscreen vs Bonjour", `adb tcpip 5555`, or "device not connecting after pairing successfully".

From the source SKILL.md

Android 11 introduced a paired wireless debugging flow that replaces the legacy adb tcpip dance. The modern path encrypts and authenticates over TLS using a pairing-code-derived shared secret and uses ephemeral ports; the legacy path leaves an unauthenticated TCP listener on a well-known port. This skill covers both, plus the mDNS plumbing the host server uses to discover paired devices.

What this skill does

Connecting Over Wifi is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the network-security sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/connecting-over-wifi/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user mentions `adb pair`, `adb connect`, "wireless debugging", "QR code pairing", `_adb-tls-connect`, "Openscreen vs Bonjour", `adb tcpip 5555`, or "device not connecting after pairing successfully".

Who uses this skill

The Connecting Over Wifi Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
