Android Studio Panda 3 is now stable, introducing two major AI agent enhancements and one new template. Agent Skills let developers create custom instruction files (SKILL.md) in a .skills directory to teach the AI agent organization-specific workflows, coding standards, and library usage, reducing the need for detailed prompts. Granular Agent Permissions give developers explicit control over what the agent can access—files, shell commands, web—with 'Always Allow' rules for trusted operations and an optional sandbox for stricter isolation. Additionally, a new 'Empty Car App Library App' template simplifies building for Android Auto and Android Automotive OS by handling boilerplate setup automatically.
