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 | $0.00069 | $0.00353 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00177 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00071 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
ios-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 yesterday.
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
iOS Simulator
Require the agent-device CLI to be installed separately before driving a simulator:
npm install -g agent-device@latest
Treat installation and upgrades as user-owned setup steps. Do not run that command autonomously or substitute a mutable npx -y agent-device@latest invocation.
For a normal app-driving task, start immediately. Do not probe first with --help, --version, devices, appstate, snapshot, or screenshot. Target iOS explicitly when opening an app or bundle id:
agent-device open <app-or-bundle-id> --platform ios --foreground
Follow the initial interactive snapshot and corrective error hints. If the shell reports that agent-device is unavailable, stop and ask the user to install it or expose their existing installation on PATH.
Only when the task is specialized or a command shape is unclear, read the relevant version-matched help topic:
agent-device help validate # engineering validation and build freshness
agent-device help debugging # screenshots, logs, traces, video, and failures
agent-device help react-native # React Native and Expo runtime guidance
agent-device help react-devtools # component tree, props/state/hooks, and renders
agent-device help scripting # durable replay and CI workflows
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-simulator is a skill published in the GitHub repository callstack/agent-device (4,300 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 353 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
