test-simulator

test-simulator is a command for Claude Code from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 14 tokens per session (405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts an automated mobile-app simulator tester. It can set up test conditions, capture screenshots or video, inspect logs, and report crashes or errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check screens, GPS features, push notifications, permission prompts, deep links, and other simulator workflows, including visual verification of a fix.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to reproduce device conditions and tap through visual or permission-based tests manually.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

test-simulator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Simulator Testing Agent

Launches the simulator-tester agent for automated simulator testing with visual verification.

What It Does

The agent will:

  1. Check simulator state and boot if needed
  2. Set up test scenarios (location, permissions, push notifications)
  3. Capture screenshots and video
  4. Monitor logs for crashes/errors
  5. Analyze results and provide clear reports

Capabilities

  • Screenshot capture for visual debugging
  • Video recording for complex workflows
  • Location simulation for GPS-based features
  • Push notification testing without a server
  • Permission management without manual tapping
  • Deep link navigation to specific screens
  • Status bar override for clean screenshots
  • Log analysis for crash detection

Common Scenarios

Visual Verification:

/axiom:test-simulator

"Take a screenshot to verify the login button fix"

Location Testing:

/axiom:test-simulator

"Set location to San Francisco and test the map feature"

Push Notifications:

/axiom:test-simulator

"Send a test push notification and screenshot the result"

Permission Flows:

/axiom:test-simulator

"Test the camera permission dialog"

Prefer Natural Language?

Instead of using this command, you can simply say:

  • "Can you take a screenshot of the app?"
  • "Test my app with location simulation"
  • "Check if the push notification handling works"
  • "Navigate to Settings and take a screenshot"
  • "Record a video of the app running"

The simulator-tester agent will automatically trigger.

Quick Screenshot

For just a quick screenshot without full testing, use:

/axiom:screenshot
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
