Public Skills
argent-ios-device-interact
by thorgas
Drive a physical iPhone through argent. Use when a physical iPhone is involved (a list-devices iOS entry with kind "device") and ONLY then; never for a simulator. For cable, trust, or signing problems read argent-ios-device-setup.
argent-test-ui-flow
by thorgas
Autonomously test an app UI (iOS or Android) by running interact-screenshot-verify loops using argent MCP tools. Use when testing UI flows, verifying login works, testing navigation, running end-to-end UI test scenarios, manual QA steps, visible UI changes, or visual behavior.
argent-ios-device-setup
by thorgas
Set up a cabled physical iPhone for argent. Use when a physical iPhone is involved (a list-devices iOS entry with kind "device") and ONLY then; never for a simulator.
argent-device-interact
by thorgas
Interact with an iOS simulator, Android emulator, or Chromium (CDP) app using argent MCP tools. Use when tapping UI elements, performing gestures, scrolling/swiping, typing text, pressing hardware buttons, launching apps, opening URLs, taking screenshots, waiting for an element to appear or disappear, or checking visible app state after interactions.
argent-tv-interact
by thorgas
Control and inspect TV apps via argent — Apple TV (tvOS), Android TV (leanback), and Amazon Fire TV (Vega). Boot the target, read focus, navigate with the D-pad remote, type, screenshot, and on Vega debug the JS runtime (evaluate, console logs, network inspector). Use when a task targets a TV (runtimeKind "tv", or platform "vega"), or mentions Apple TV / tvOS / Android TV / leanback / Vega / Fire TV / VVD.
argent-ios-simulator-setup
by thorgas
Set up and connect to an iOS simulator using argent MCP tools. Use when starting a new session, booting an iOS simulator, getting an iOS UDID, or before any iOS simulator interaction task.
argent-create-flow
by thorgas
Create, record, edit, replay, or repair reusable Argent flow YAML files. Use when the user asks to record or replay a repeatable device path, set up profiling or an A/B comparison, or invoke the authoring engine behind argent-qa-flows. Also use before repeating three or more interactions. For one-off UI checks, acceptance-driven regression tests, or screen video, use argent-test-ui-flow, argent-qa-flows, or argent-screen-recording respectively.
argent-react-native-app-workflow
by thorgas
Step-by-step workflows for developing or debugging React Native apps on iOS simulator or Android emulator. Use when starting the app, debugging Metro, fixing builds, diagnosing runtime errors, or running tests.
argent-screenshot-diff
by thorgas
Compare saved or live app screenshots with the argent screenshot-diff tool. Use when testing visual regressions, before/after UI comparisons, screenshot diff checks, visible layout, spacing, color, typography, clipping, overflow, text rendering, or image/icon rendering changes.
argent-metro-debugger
by thorgas
Debug a JS runtime via CDP using argent debugger tools. Primary path is React Native via Metro (iOS / Android / Vega); a subset of the tools (debugger-connect, debugger-status, debugger-evaluate, debugger-log-registry) also drive a Chromium (CDP) app's renderer (an Electron app, or any Chromium browser exposing CDP) through the same surface. Use when connecting to the runtime, inspecting React components, reading console logs, or evaluating JavaScript.
argent-react-native-profiler
by thorgas
Profile a React Native Hermes app to measure re-render and CPU performance using argent profiler tools. Use when optimizing for performance, measuring before/after a fix, spotting slow components, diagnosing re-renders, checking CPU hotspots, or producing a ranked issue report.
argent-native-profiler
by thorgas
Native profiling for CPU hotspots, UI hangs, memory issues. iOS via xctrace; Android via Perfetto. Use when diagnosing native-level performance issues.
argent-qa-flows
by thorgas
Create repeatable QA regression E2E tests as Argent flows from test cases, tickets, or acceptance criteria. Use when the user asks to generate or preserve an automated regression scenario, with deterministic setup, stable targets, executable structural or visual evidence, and two consecutive full passes. For one-off UI checks or replayable paths without acceptance criteria, use argent-test-ui-flow or argent-create-flow. Supports iOS, Android, Chromium, and Vega (Fire TV), where recorded tv-remote steps replace touch directives. Apple TV and Android TV are unsupported; use argent-tv-interact there and report the limitation.
argent-screen-recording
by thorgas
Record a video of an iOS simulator or Android emulator/device screen using argent MCP tools. Use when the user asks to record the screen, capture a video of a flow, interaction, or animation, produce a screen recording, or document app behavior as a video clip.
argent-react-native-optimization
by thorgas
Optimizes a React Native app by profiling first to find real bottlenecks, then sweeping for mechanical issues. Entry-point for all performance work. Use when the app feels slow, user asks to optimize, fix re-renders, reduce jank, or improve startup. Delegates to argent-react-native-profiler for measurement.
agent-device
by thorgas
Automates Apple-platform apps (iOS, tvOS, macOS), Android devices, and Amazon Vega OS TV apps in Vega Virtual Devices. Use when navigating apps, taking snapshots/screenshots where supported, driving TV remotes, tapping, typing, scrolling, extracting UI info, collecting evidence, or planning agent-device CLI commands.
react-native-testing
by thorgas
Write tests using React Native Testing Library (RNTL) v13 and v14 (@testing-library/react-native). Use when writing, reviewing, or fixing React Native component tests. Covers: render, screen, queries (getBy/getAllBy/queryBy/findBy), Jest matchers, userEvent, fireEvent, waitFor, and async patterns. Supports v13 (React 18, sync render) and v14 (React 19+, async render). Triggers on: test files for React Native components, RNTL imports, mentions of "testing library", "write tests", "component tests", or "RNTL".
diagnose-fix-loop
by thorgas
Iterative diagnose-and-fix workflow that repeatedly uses the diagnose skill to find a proven problem, plan the smallest credible improvement, implement it, re-diagnose, and continue until no useful fix remains or user intervention is required. Requires the diagnose skill; selected installs must also install diagnose. Use when asked to keep debugging, fix and verify, iterate until satisfied, improve after diagnosis, or run a diagnosis/fix/verification loop.
tdd
by thorgas
Test-driven development. Use when the user wants to build features or fix bugs test-first, mentions "red-green-refactor", or wants integration tests.
prototype
by thorgas
Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Use when the user wants to sanity-check whether a state model or logic feels right, or explore what a UI should look like.
diagnose
by thorgas
Opt-in evidence-first causal diagnosis for bugs, browser or app/device failures, flaky behavior, and performance regressions. Activate only when the user explicitly invokes $diagnose or explicitly asks to use the named diagnose skill. Do not activate merely because the user mentions a bug, asks why something failed, requests debugging or a fix, or describes unexpected behavior. Once explicitly invoked, locate likely causes, instrument relevant boundaries with extensive structured logging, reproduce the issue, analyze the collected logs, rank causes with confidence scores, and pursue 100% operational confidence while probes can increase confidence.
simplify
by thorgas
Keep code, tests, documentation, configuration, and other changes as tight, clear, performant, and minimal as possible without weakening behavior. Use during implementation to prevent unnecessary complexity, after behavior is proven to consolidate working changes, before handoff for a full branch audit, and when asked to simplify, tighten, clean up, reduce verbosity, remove complexity, or minimize existing work.
react-coding-style
by thorgas
Implement and review React, React Native, and TypeScript UI for maximum practical render performance through leaf-local updates, stable identities, honest Hook semantics, and minimal effects. Use for components, hooks, callbacks, context, external stores, memoization, list rows, large dependency arrays, callback or state fanout, re-render reduction, and React Compiler-aware performance work.
argent-settings-permissions
by thorgas
Grant, deny, or reset an app's runtime permissions (camera, microphone, photos, contacts, notifications, calendar, location, location-always, media-library, motion, reminders) on an iOS simulator or Android device using the argent settings-permissions tool - without navigating the system Settings UI. Use when the permission cannot be changed through the app itself - and only then, pre-authorize before the app asks, deny up front, re-enable a permission the user already denied, or reset so the prompt reappears. If the app can flip it - via an in-app toggle or the system permission dialog the app triggers - interact with the app instead.
