What it does

Argent iOS Device Setup is an agent skill from bbplayer-app/BBPlayer. Set up a cabled physical iPhone for argent. Use when a physical iPhone is involved (a list-devices iOS entry with kind "device") and ONLY then; never for a simulator.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: 一款简约、好用的 BiliBili 音乐播放器。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A physical iPhone is involved (a list-devices iOS entry with kind device) and ONLY then
  • Never for a simulator

Example prompts

  • “device”
  • “/argent-ios-device-setup”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Cable the phone, unlock it, keep the screen awake, and turn on Developer Mode (Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode)…
  2. launch-app only registers the app. The first describe, gesture or screenshot builds, signs and starts the on-device runner: minutes cold…
  3. On the first install the phone asks to trust the developer (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), and an ArgentRunner app appears…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e1ae9f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Argent iOS Device Setup loads about 474 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~474

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Set up a cabled physical iPhone for argent. Use when a physical iPhone is involved (a list-devices iOS entry with kind "device") and ONLY then; never for a simulator.

Physical iPhone setup

Read this only for a physical iPhone. Simulators use argent-ios-simulator-setup.

First run

  1. Cable the phone, unlock it, keep the screen awake, and turn on Developer Mode (Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode). list-devices must show it connected.
  2. launch-app only registers the app. The first describe, gesture or screenshot builds, signs and starts the on-device runner: minutes cold, tens of seconds from cache or after a tool-server restart. Build cap 15 min, runner ready 120 s.
  3. On the first install the phone asks to trust the developer (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management), and an ArgentRunner app appears on the home screen. Tell the user it is argent's automation runner and must stay installed.

Signing and failures

Signing needs no configuration. The first phone call of a tool-server process carries a note naming the team picked and the ARGENT_IOS_TEAM_ID override (tool-server environment; a change forces a cold rebuild). Cable, lock, trust, expired-profile and missing-certificate errors name their fix: apply it, retry the same call. Also: errSecInternalComponent: run security set-key-partition-list -S apple-tool:,apple:,codesign: -s ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db (asks the user's login password), retry. team has no devices: keep the phone cabled, retry. Bundle id registration failed: free-team app-id cap, wait days or sign under a paid team. Any other xcodebuild failure prints raw error: lines: read ~/.argent/ios-device-runner/logs/runner-<udid8>.log. RUNNER_WEDGED: stop-simulator-server for the udid, retry.

Then read argent-ios-device-interact.
