What it does
iOS Simulator is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Automate iOS Simulator workflows (simctl + idb): create/boot/erase devices, install/launch apps, push notifications, privacy grants, screenshots, and accessibility-based UI navigation. Use when working with iOS apps, Xcode, Simulator, simctl, idb, UI automation, or iOS testing.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and Accessibility. It works with iOS, Xcode and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Working with iOS apps
- Tasks that involve iOS development
- Tasks that involve Accessibility
Example prompts
- “/ios-simulator”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodebrewpython3xcrunxcodebuild
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 Simulator loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 447 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 447 words (~1,317 tokens).
