Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

iOS Simulator Automation

This skill provides a Node-only CLI wrapper around: xcrun simctl for simulator/device/app management idb for accessibility-tree inspection + synthesised UI input (tap/text/button) It is designed for AI agents: minimal, structured output by default, with opt-in detail.

Important constraints

Must run on macOS with Xcode Command Line Tools (or Xcode) available. If the ClawdBot gateway is not macOS, run these commands on a connected macOS node (see β€œRemote macOS node” below). idb is optional, but required for UI tree / semantic tapping. (Install steps below.)

Quick start

# 1) Sanity check node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs health # 2) List simulators (compact) node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs list # 3) Select a default simulator (writes .ios-sim-state.json in the current dir) node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs select --name "iPhone" --runtime "iOS" --boot # 4) Install + launch an .app node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs app install --app path/to/MyApp.app node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs app launch --bundle-id com.example.MyApp # 5) Inspect current UI (requires idb) node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs ui summary node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs ui tap --query "Log in" node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs ui type --text "hello world" # 6) Screenshot node {baseDir}/scripts/ios-sim.mjs screenshot --out artifacts/screen.png

Remote macOS node

If you are not on macOS, run the same commands on the macOS node using ClawdBot’s node execution (e.g. exec with host: node / node tools). Ensure the skill folder exists on that node, or copy it there.

Output conventions (token-efficient)

Default output: single-line JSON (small summary object). Add --pretty to pretty-print JSON. Add --text for a short human-readable summary (when provided by the command). Commands that can be huge (ui tree, list --full) are opt-in.

State / default UDID

select writes a state file (default: ./.ios-sim-state.json) that stores the chosen UDID. All commands accept --udid <UUID> and otherwise fall back to the state file. Override location with: IOS_SIM_STATE_FILE=/path/to/state.json

Xcode / simctl availability

If xcrun cannot find simctl, ensure Xcode CLI tools are selected (via Xcode settings or xcode-select) and run the first-launch setup: xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

idb (for accessibility automation)

Install idb_companion and the idb CLI: brew tap facebook/fb brew install idb-companion python3 -m pip install --upgrade fb-idb
