What it does

Maui Devflow Uitests is an agent skill from nalu-development/nalu. How to write, run and debug automated UI tests for the Nalu.Maui component libraries using .NET MAUI DevFlow (in-app agent + Driver + CLI + MCP). Use this skill whenever the task involves UI tests, UITests.DevFlow, the Nalu.Maui.TestApp, DevFlow, AgentClient, the maui devflow CLI, MCP-driven app automation (screenshots, visual tree, tap/fill/scroll), adding a test page for a component (VirtualScroll, Magnet, ExpanderViewBox, DurationWheel, tab bar…), or diagnosing a failing/flaky UI test — even if the user just…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agentclient-api.md`, `references/cli-mcp.md` and `references/devflow-overview.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Provides .NET MAUI packages to help with everyday challenges.

When your agent uses it

  • The task involves UI tests
  • UITests.DevFlow
  • The Nalu.Maui.TestApp
  • The maui devflow CLI

Example prompts

  • “add tests for component X”
  • “the UI test is red”
  • “/maui-devflow-uitests”

Workflow steps

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

  1. In-app agent (Microsoft.Maui.DevFlow.Agent) — an HTTP server inside the app process
  2. Driver (Microsoft.Maui.DevFlow.Driver, class AgentClient) — .NET client used by our
  3. CLI + MCP (Microsoft.Maui.Cli, command maui) — maui devflow … commands and

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 681234f. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • xcrun
    • dotnet
    • adb
    • xcodebuild
    • ffmpeg

    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

Maui Devflow Uitests loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,065 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~155
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.5k

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 1,065 words (~2,336 tokens).

“DevFlow is the experimental testing/automation toolkit for .NET MAUI 10, born as Redth's MauiDevFlow and now maintained in dotnet/maui-labs (Microsoft.Maui.DevFlow.* packages). Three pieces cooperate:”
