Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned conorluddy/ios-simulator-skill at 037a37f135.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to interact with and control iOS simulators. It enables automated testing of iOS applications, including running tests, interacting with UI elements, and capturing screenshots or videos of the simulator's activity. This is particularly useful for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and automated quality assurance processes.

When to use it

  • Automated Testing: Run unit and UI tests on iOS applications without manual intervention.
  • Screenshot Generation: Automatically generate screenshots of your app for marketing materials or documentation.
  • Video Recording: Record videos of application workflows for demonstrations or bug reproduction.
  • CI/CD Pipelines: Integrate simulator control into automated build and deployment processes.

Key capabilities

  • Simulator Launch & Control: Start, stop, and manage iOS simulators.
  • UI Interaction: Simulate user interactions like taps, swipes, and text input within the simulator.
  • Test Execution: Run pre-defined test suites on the simulator.
  • Media Capture: Take screenshots and record videos of the simulator screen.

Example prompts

  • "Run the 'login' test suite on iOS 17."
  • "Take a screenshot of the home screen in portrait mode."
  • "Record a video demonstrating the checkout flow."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Xcode and the Command Line Tools to be installed.
  • The simulator must be configured and running before interacting with it through this skill.
