AI-generated overview

Sets up and connects to an iOS simulator using argent MCP tools before simulator interaction tasks.

What it does
This skill provides instructions for locating a booted iOS simulator with the list-devices tool, filtering for iOS platform entries and excluding physical devices, and booting one with boot-device when none is running. It notes that interaction tools such as gesture-tap, gesture-swipe and gesture-custom start the server automatically, and it describes the UDID format. It produces a verified simulator connection rather than any file or code artifact.
When to use it
Use it at the start of a new session, when an iOS simulator needs to be booted, when an iOS UDID is required, or before any task that interacts with an iOS simulator.
Requirements
Requires the argent MCP tools (list-devices, boot-device, gesture-tap, gesture-swipe, gesture-custom) and MCP permissions for any sub-agents delegated simulator tasks. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.

1. Setup Steps

If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.

  1. Find a booted simulator Use list-devices. Filter for entries with platform: "ios" and skip any with kind: "device" (a physical iPhone, never a simulator target): booted simulators are listed first. If none are booted, call boot-device with udid: <chosen UDID>.

  2. Verify connection All interaction tools (gesture-tap, gesture-swipe, gesture-custom, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.

2. Notes

  • UDIDs look like: A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890
