A Claude Code prompt that strips ads and tracking off your Smart TV in 15 minutes

Alex Prompter shared a copy-paste "TV Liberation Protocol" prompt for Claude Code that turns the AI into an Android TV privacy-hardening engineer:
- Mission: disable every ad row, sponsored banner and junk preload app; block viewing-behavior tracking on both the TV and the network; clean the home screen down to apps you actually use; produce a full backup with a one-line tested restore.
- Acceptance criteria: nothing counts as done until a screenshot from the TV proves it, and independent judges must award a Clean Score of 90/100 or higher.
- Tooling: proven open-source only — CleanYourTV, a SmartTV blocklist, scrcpy, and optionally Ollama to run everything on a local model.
- The author claims it takes 15 minutes, uninstalls nothing, and is reversible with one line.
A complete, reproducible example of using Claude Code as a system-admin/privacy agent.
