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".
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for executing Appium tests on Kobiton devices that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires appium, node installed locally. Requires kobiton account access. About 12k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 2,604 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
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). Use this skill when the user asks to run mobile tests, validate an APK or IPA across real devices, or trigger a Kobiton-hosted automation run from a local script directory. Prerequisites Runs on any OS, but needs a persistent local filesystem — its whole job is running the user's local Appium script, plus that script's own language runtime. Where the host can't provide those, route to create-test-run to execute a test case already saved in Kobiton instead. See the Skill compatibility matrix in CLAUDE.md. Before invoking this skill, ensure: Kobiton MCP connection - the Kobiton MCP server is reachable (default api.kobiton.com/mcp; check .mcp.json for the configured endpoint). Local Appium test script - a runnable Appium WebDriver script (.js, .ts, .py, .java, .kt, .cs, .rb) referencing desired capabilities for the target platform. Runtime installed locally - Node.js + npm/npx, Python + pip, Java + mvn/gradle, .NET SDK, or Ruby + bundle, whichever your test script uses. App build (or store reference) - either a local .apk / .ipa / .zip build artifact for upload, or a kobiton-store:vXXXXX reference for an existing upload. Kobiton account - credentials with device access for the target platform (Android / iOS) and remaining session quota. Authentication This skill calls tools served by the Kobiton MCP server at api.kobiton.com/mcp. …
