run-device-tests

run-device-tests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dotnet/maui. It costs 46 tokens per session (3,010 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A local test runner for .NET MAUI apps, which can run the same app on mobile, desktop, or simulator environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and run selected test categories on iOS, MacCatalyst, Android, or Windows, depending on the computer you use.
Why use it?
It helps check whether an app works on the target platforms without running every test manually or filtering tests by hand.

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 C, and why

run-device-tests scanned grade C 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/Run-DeviceTests.ps1, scripts/Run-DeviceTests.Tests.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Run Device Tests Skill

Build and run .NET MAUI device tests locally on iOS simulators, MacCatalyst, Android emulators, or Windows.

Platform Support

Host OS Supported Platforms
macOS ios, maccatalyst, android
Windows android, windows

Tools Required

This skill uses bash together with pwsh (PowerShell 7+) to run the PowerShell scripts. Requires:

  • xharness - Global dotnet tool for running tests on iOS/MacCatalyst/Android
  • dotnet - .NET SDK with platform workloads installed
  • iOS/MacCatalyst: Xcode with iOS simulators
  • Android: Android SDK with emulator
  • Windows: Windows SDK

Dependencies

This skill uses shared infrastructure scripts:

  • .github/scripts/shared/Start-Emulator.ps1 - Detects and boots iOS simulators / Android emulators
  • .github/scripts/shared/shared-utils.ps1 - Common utility functions

These are automatically loaded by the Run-DeviceTests.ps1 script.

When to Use

  • User wants to run device tests locally
  • User wants to verify iOS/MacCatalyst/Android/Windows compatibility
  • User wants to test on a specific iOS version (e.g., iOS 26)
  • User asks "run device tests for Controls/Core/Essentials/Graphics"
  • User asks "test on iOS simulator" or "test on Android emulator"
  • User asks "run device tests on MacCatalyst"
  • User wants to run only specific test categories (e.g., "run Button tests")

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.
