"Frequency once per hour
Trigger You attempt a skill check requiring three actions or fewer.
You stimulate your nanites, forcing your body to temporarily increase its efficiency. You gain a +2 status bonus to the triggering skill check. In addition, your circuitry glows, lighting a 10-foot emanation with dim light for 1 round."
My question is, do Androids get to use Nanite Surge before or after the D20 skill check? In other words, if the Crafting check is 17 and I roll a 15, can I use nanite surge after I see the 15 to pass that check?

I'm thinking that it doesn't work that way. Things that affect a check retroactively after you see the results generally say so explicitly.
Like Psychic's Amp of Guidance, or Guardian's Deflection.
If the ability doesn't say - and it just gives a bonus, then it probably has to be used before you see the results. Like Nimble Dodge.
