agent-ios: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-ios AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from squaduplabs/agent-ios. It costs 909 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A start-here guide for agent-ios, a Swift command-line tool that lets coding agents control the iOS Simulator. It can inspect app elements, tap, type, perform gestures, and take screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing agent-ios or when learning where to find its simulator-driving integrations, commands, tests, and project conventions.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand whether they are changing the tool itself or using it to test another project, and shows how to build and check it.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is squaduplabs/agent-ios's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-ios itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-ios configures →

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

agent-ios AGENTS.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 1mo 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Start-here instructions for any AI coding agent working in this repository. This is the single source of truth; tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, etc.) just point back here.

Two different jobs - make sure you know which one you are doing:

  • Working ON agent-ios (fixing bugs, adding features to this codebase): read on.
  • Using agent-ios to drive a simulator (from inside some other project): you want docs/integrations.md and docs/usage.md, not this file.

What this project is

A Swift command-line tool (agent-ios) that drives the iOS Simulator for AI agents - accessibility snapshots with element refs, taps, gestures, typing, screenshots. It talks over HTTP to a small in-simulator XCUITest "runner" (an Xcode project under Runner/) that the CLI builds and launches on demand. Architecture and rationale are in the README.

Build, run, test

swift build                          # build the CLI
.build/debug/agent-ios doctor        # sanity-check the environment
./scripts/e2e.sh                     # end-to-end smoke test (needs a booted simulator)
  • After changing anything under Runner/, run agent-ios server restart so the new runner build is used (the CLI otherwise caches it).
  • swift build must stay clean with no new warnings.
  • There is no unit-test suite; verification is the e2e script plus driving a real app in the simulator.

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.
