What it does
Auto Login is an agent skill from woocommerce/woocommerce-ios. Launch the WooCommerce app on a simulator already authenticated into a given store (site credentials, application password, or WPCom), skipping the manual login UI. Meant to be referenced by other skills/workflows that need a logged-in session fast, but also directly runnable.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `Scripts/launch.sh`).
It sits in Mobile. It works with WooCommerce and WordPress. The licence is GPL-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Mobile work in your project
Example prompts
- “/auto-login”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 630d986. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashxcrun
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
example-jn-site.com
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
Auto Login loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 575 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

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Auto-Login
Launch the app already authenticated into a store, skipping the manual login UI. Backed by a DEBUG-only
shortcut in ProcessConfiguration.swift that seeds SessionManager credentials + store ID at launch, before
AppCoordinator decides whether to show the login screen or the tab bar.
Scope: this skill only launches. It does not build the app, install it, or provision a site — those are
the caller's responsibility (see /build, /simulator, and JN site provisioning tools/skills).
Prerequisites
- A booted simulator (use the
/simulatorskill approach if none is booted) - The app already built and installed for that simulator, from a
DEBUGconfiguration (the default for simulator builds). If not installed yet, build first andxcrun simctl install <UDID> <path-to-.app>. - Credentials for the target store:
wporg(default) — the wp-admin username + real password (e.g. a fresh Jurassic Ninja site's admin credentials). Works with no extra setup: the app's networking layer automatically does the cookie/nonce handshake and generates+stores a proper application password on the first REST call.applicationPassword— a wp-admin username + an application password created on that site (e.g. viawp user application-password create <user> <name> --porcelainover SSH). Use this ifwporgdoesn't work for some reason (e.g. a security plugin blocking the wp-login.php handshake).wpcom— a WordPress.com username + auth token, plus the store's real numeric site ID (store-id).
Usage
bash .claude/skills/auto-login/Scripts/launch.sh <UDID> <site-address> <username> <secret> [auth-type] [store-id]Examples:
# Self-hosted / JN site via its real admin username+password (auth-type defaults to wporg)
bash .claude/skills/auto-login/Scripts/launch.sh "$UDID" https://example-jn-site.com admin "real-admin-password"
# Self-hosted site via an application password instead
bash .claude/skills/auto-login/Scripts/launch.sh "$UDID" https://example-jn-site.com admin "abcd 1234 efgh 5678" applicationPassword
# WPCom-connected site (needs the real site ID)
bash .claude/skills/auto-login/Scripts/launch.sh "$UDID" https://example.com someuser somewpcomtoken wpcom 123456789The script launches twice: a seeding launch that reads the credentials and persists them to
Keychain/UserDefaults, then a second plain relaunch (no debug env vars) that boots already-authenticated
from the start — this is what makes launch-time steps gated on already-being-authenticated (push
notification registration, analytics identity refresh) run normally, since the seeding launch alone starts
out deauthenticated and misses that window. See the comments in launch.sh for details.
After it returns, wait ~3 seconds, then verify: screenshot the simulator or use list_ui_elements (if
mobile-mcp is available) and confirm the tab bar is visible (not the login screen), and that the store name
matches the target site.
Never commit secrets
Credentials only ever exist as arguments to this one shell invocation and the resulting SIMCTL_CHILD_*
environment variables passed to simctl launch — never write them to a file in this repo, a scheme, or any
other persisted location.

Known limitations
These stem from the app-side DEBUG shortcut itself and are accepted tradeoffs, not bugs in this script:
- Don't persist these env vars on a personal Xcode scheme. If set that way instead of via this script,
every subsequent debug launch — not just the one you intended — silently re-authenticates and re-syncs.
Always prefer invoking
launch.shfresh (it only sets them for that onesimctl launchcall). wpcomrequires a realstore-id. This script validates that, but if you ever set the env vars directly (bypassing this script), a missing/invalid store ID forwpcomcredentials silently falls back to the self-hosted placeholder site ID, producing a broken/inconsistent session.- No error is surfaced on bad credentials. Unlike the real login UI, this shortcut doesn't validate role
eligibility, WooCommerce installation, or application-password validity. Bad credentials just produce a
blank/broken dashboard — check the simulator's console log (
DDLogError) if the store doesn't load. wporgneeds the wp-login.php cookie/nonce handshake to succeed on first REST call. If a security plugin (e.g. Jetpack's account-protection module) blocks that handshake,wporgwill silently fail the same way as any other bad credentials — fall back toapplicationPasswordin that case.- If you also pass
logout-at-launchin the same launch, auto-login will silently re-authenticate right after it deauthenticates — the two aren't designed to be combined.

Can I use Auto Login in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add woocommerce/woocommerce-ios --skill auto-login -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/auto-login, .gemini/skills/auto-login, .github/skills/auto-login and .opencode/skills/auto-login in your project.
What does Auto Login need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Auto Login needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (bash and xcrun). Our summary lists: A Bash shell. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash.
Does Auto Login access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: example-jn-site.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Auto Login safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
