Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00056 | $0.01383 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00691 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00277 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00138 |
Grade B, and why
ios-device-toolkit scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
sudo pymobiledevice3 remote tunneld How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
iOS Device Toolkit
Drive a physical iOS device over USB with pymobiledevice3. This skill covers the high-value workflows; deep reference per area is in references/.
- Capture, logs, crashes →
references/capture.md - Apps, app sandbox files, AFC media, debugserver →
references/apps-files.md - Device info, perf, springboard, webinspector, tunneling →
references/diagnostics-perf.md
Install
# uv (preferred) or pipx
uv tool install pymobiledevice3
pipx install pymobiledevice3
pymobiledevice3 version # confirm; tested at 7.0.7
Prerequisites
- Physical iOS device attached via USB (or Wi-Fi-paired through usbmuxd).
- Developer Mode enabled on device (Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode). Verify with
pymobiledevice3 mounter query-developer-mode-status. - Trusted computer — accept "Trust This Computer" prompt on the device after first connect.
- iOS 17+ only: a long-running
tunnelddaemon is required for any developer-mode service (screenshots, DVT instruments, debugserver, pcap-with-process, etc.). Start it once per boot:
The CLI auto-retries developer commands through tunneld; you no longer needsudo pymobiledevice3 remote tunneld--tunnel ""on every call in 7.x, though it still works.
Device selection
For a single attached device, no flag is needed. For multiple, scope every call with one of:
--udid <UDID>— usbmux-discovered device--tunnel <UDID>— tunneld-discovered device (developer services on iOS 17+)PYMOBILEDEVICE3_UDID=<UDID>/PYMOBILEDEVICE3_TUNNEL=<UDID>env vars — set once, all subsequent invocations inherit
Discover UDIDs:
pymobiledevice3 usbmux list # USB + Wi-Fi devices known to usbmuxd
xcrun devicectl list devices # Apple's own listing (macOS)
pymobiledevice3 lockdown info | head # full lockdown dump for the default device
Caveat: --tunnel "" (empty string) prompts interactively. In non-interactive shells, pass the UDID directly.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ios-device-toolkit is a skill published in the GitHub repository alleneubank/claude-code (52 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,383 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
