What it does

Argent iOS Simulator Setup is an agent skill from bbplayer-app/BBPlayer. Set up and connect to an iOS simulator using argent MCP tools. Use when starting a new session, booting an iOS simulator, getting an iOS UDID, or before any iOS simulator interaction task.

Its SKILL.md is about 220 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, covering MCP servers. 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

  • Starting a new session
  • Booting an iOS simulator
  • Getting an iOS UDID
  • Before any iOS simulator interaction task

Example prompts

  • “/argent-ios-simulator-setup”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup Steps
  2. Notes

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 Simulator Setup loads about 215 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 80 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~215

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

description
Set up and connect to an iOS simulator using argent MCP tools. Use when starting a new session, booting an iOS simulator, getting an iOS UDID, or before any iOS simulator interaction task.

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
