What it does
Interceptor iOS is an agent skill from Hacker-Valley-Media/Interceptor. Drive any installed app on an owned, unlocked, Developer-Mode iPhone via interceptor ios : ref-tagged element trees, deterministic coordinate taps (click), reliable text entry (type/keys), scroll, drag, multi-touch gestures (gesture), hardware buttons (press), screenshots, a continuous JPEG frame stream (stream/frame), installed-app listing, and app launch/activate/terminate. The phone runs an on-device XCUITest runner (InterceptorRunner) that dials into the daemon over WiFi — no cable once paired, no…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/command-catalog.md` and `workflows/drive-iphone-app.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Mobile testing and debugging, iOS development and Desktop control. It works with iOS, macOS, Model Context Protocol and Chrome Extensions. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation and computer use for AI agents. One CLI and MCP server for your signed-in browser, native macOS apps, and real iPhones.
When your agent uses it
- IPhone app automation
- Tasks that involve Mobile testing and debugging
- Tasks that involve iOS development
Example prompts
- “/interceptor-ios”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab6772f. 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 (its code samples are bash).
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
Interceptor iOS loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 202 tokens; SKILL.md has 877 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 877 words (~1,914 tokens).
“Agent-operator skill for the iOS surface of Interceptor. Use the interceptor ios * CLI to drive any installed app on an owned, unlocked, Developer-Mode iPhone: ref-tagged accessibility trees, deterministic coordinate taps, reliable text entry, scroll/drag, hardware buttons, screenshots, and app…”
