What problem does it solve? TV apps are focus-driven rather than touch-driven, so standard tap-and-gesture automation fails on tvOS, Android TV, and Fire TV (Vega). This Skill provides a reliable describe-then-navigate loop using D-pad remote commands, keyboard input, and screenshots to drive and debug TV apps across all three platforms. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Focus-driven navigation: Use describe to read the focused element and focusable tree, then move with tv-remote D-pad paths like {button:["down","right","select"]}. - Cross-platform dispatch: One toolset drives Apple TV simulators, Android TV leanback emulators, and Vega VVDs, dispatched automatically from the device udid or serial. - Vega JS debugging: Evaluate JS, read console logs, and inspect network traffic on Fire TV via the Hermes debugger once a Debug build and Metro port-forwarding are set up. - Use Case: A QA engineer testing a react-native-tvos app boots an Android TV emulator, describes the home screen to locate a tile, sends a D-pad path to select it, and screenshots the result to confirm navigation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to list TV devices, describe the current screen focus, and navigate to a target tile using the TV remote on your Apple TV, Android TV, or Fire TV device.
