At a glance

Use XcodeBuildMCP to build, run, launch, and debug the current iOS project on a booted simulator.

  • Works in 3 steps: Discover the booted simulator → Set session defaults → Build + run (when requested)
  • Asked to run an iOS app
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Core Workflow, UI Interaction & Debugging and Logs & Console Output, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

iOS Debugger Agent is an agent skill from harperreed/dotfiles. Use XcodeBuildMCP to build, run, launch, and debug the current iOS project on a booted simulator. Trigger when asked to run an iOS app, interact with the simulator UI, inspect on-screen state, capture logs/console output, or diagnose runtime behavior using XcodeBuildMCP tools.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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 iOS development. It works with iOS and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Dotfiles. Managed by YADM.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to run an iOS app
  • Interact with the simulator UI
  • Inspect on-screen state
  • Capture logs/console output

Example prompts

  • “/ios-debugger-agent”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Discover the booted simulator
  2. Set session defaults
  3. Build + run (when requested)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b78c10e. 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

iOS Debugger Agent loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 251 words (~607 tokens).

“Use XcodeBuildMCP to build and run the current project scheme on a booted iOS simulator, interact with the UI, and capture logs. Prefer the MCP tools for simulator control, logs, and view inspection.”
