SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up an iOS simulator session requires finding a booted device, booting one if none exists, and verifying the connection before any UI interaction can happen. This Skill standardizes that setup flow so simulator tasks start from a known-good state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Device Discovery: Lists available devices via the `list-devices` MCP tool and filters for booted iOS simulators by platform. - Simulator Booting: Boots a chosen simulator by UDID with `boot-device` when no iOS device is currently running. - Connection Verification: Confirms interaction tools like `gesture-tap` and `gesture-swipe` are ready, since they auto-start the server if needed. - Use Case: Before running an automated UI test on an iPhone simulator, use this Skill to locate or boot a device and confirm the argent MCP connection is live. ## Quick Start Set up and connect to a booted iOS simulator so I can start interacting with it.

FAQPage Schema

How do I boot an iOS simulator from the command line?▼

Use the argent MCP `boot-device` tool with the simulator's UDID, which looks like A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890. First call `list-devices` to find available iOS simulators and pick a UDID to boot.

How do I find the UDID of an iOS simulator?▼

Call the `list-devices` MCP tool and filter the results for entries with platform set to ios. Booted iPhones appear first in the list, and each entry includes its UDID in the standard hyphenated format.

Do I need to manually start a server before using iOS simulator gesture tools?▼

No. The argent interaction tools such as gesture-tap, gesture-swipe, and gesture-custom auto-start the server if it is not already running, so you can call them directly after a device is booted.

What should I check before delegating iOS simulator tasks to sub-agents?▼

Make sure the sub-agents have MCP permissions enabled, since they need access to the argent MCP tools to list devices, boot simulators, and perform gesture interactions.
