Pepper CLAUDE.md

Pepper CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from skwallace36/Pepper. It costs 1,598 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Developer instructions for Pepper, a tool server that lets an AI assistant inspect and control iOS simulator apps. Pepper runs inside the simulated app and provides tools for screens, builds, taps, typing, navigation, logs, network activity, and debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and inspect an iOS simulator app, capture screens or logs, query its interface, perform UI actions, test navigation, and investigate runtime behavior.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant a defined way to observe and interact with simulator apps without changing their source code.

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

Pepper CLAUDE.md 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pepper

Pepper is a dylib injected into iOS simulator apps via DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES. It starts a WebSocket server inside the app process; MCP server and CLI tools connect to it. No source patches needed.

Source of truth for dylib code is dylib/. Config via .env (see .env.example). Run make help for all targets.

Adapters are optional app-specific modules (deep link routes, icon mappings, custom tools) compiled alongside the dylib. Set APP_ADAPTER_TYPE and ADAPTER_PATH in .env. Without an adapter, Pepper runs in generic mode.

MCP Tools

Tool definitions live in pepper_ios/mcp_tools_*.py modules. .mcp.json configures how to launch the MCP server; tools/pepper-mcp is the entry script. app_look is the primary observation tool. It sends the introspect command with mode=map.

app_look, app_build, app_build_hw, app_status, app_record, app_snapshot, app_console, app_network, app_debug, app_perf, app_swiftui, app_automation, app_eval, ui_tap, ui_scroll, ui_swipe, ui_input, ui_toggle, ui_gesture, ui_query, ui_accessibility, nav_go, nav_back, nav_dismiss, nav_keyboard, nav_dialog, nav_screen, state_vars, state_tools, net_tools, sys_tools, sim_control, sim_raw

Tools use a two-word prefix convention for routing. Standalone tools are high-frequency; grouped tools bundle related subcommands under one tool with a command parameter.

Standalone (23):

  • app_: app_look, app_build, app_build_hw, app_status, app_record, app_snapshot, app_console, app_network, app_eval
  • ui_: ui_tap, ui_scroll, ui_swipe, ui_input, ui_toggle, ui_gesture
  • nav_: nav_go, nav_back, nav_dismiss, nav_keyboard, nav_dialog, nav_screen
  • state_: state_vars
  • sim_: sim_control, sim_raw

Grouped (9):

  • ui_query (find, tree, verify, read, assert)
  • ui_accessibility (audit, action, events)
  • app_debug (layers, crash_log, constraints, responder_chain, target_actions, highlight, lifecycle, notifications, webview)
  • app_perf (perf, animations, heap, hangs, renders, timers)
  • app_swiftui (renders, body)
  • app_automation (script, wait_for, wait_idle, concurrency)
  • state_tools (defaults, keychain, clipboard, cookies, sandbox, coredata, undo_manager, flags)
  • net_tools (mock, simulate, http_call, timeline)
  • sys_tools (push, orientation, locale, appearance, dynamic_type, hook, frameworks, usage)

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.
