callstack/agent-device is a toolset that lets coding agents inspect, control, debug, and verify running apps on mobile, desktop, web, and TV platforms. Developers use its CLI, MCP server, or Node.js API to test application changes on simulators, emulators, physical devices, and remote device clouds. The catalogue entries provide agent integrations and instructions for using it.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00069 | $0.00353 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00141 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $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 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.
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 (5,034 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 353 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

ai-discover
Read-only discovery step of the auto-improvement loop. One bounded agent turn per cycle reads the focus files (Read/Grep/Glob only, no shell, no subagents) and replies with a JSON array of testable surfaces {file, line, symbol, rule, message, hypothesis}; the spine authors fixes and verifies them.
