Vocello: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/vocello-ui-autonomy/SKILL.md

vocello-ui-autonomy is a skill for Claude Code from PowerBeef/Vocello. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,020 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking iPhone and Mac interfaces through automated XCUITest tests or computer use, which means an agent operates the visible device interface. It routes checks that automated tests cannot cover to an announced, attended device-testing window.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for validating mobile and desktop UI flows, reviewing screenshots, testing device-specific behavior, and checking cases outside XCUITest coverage.
Why use it?
It covers UI behavior and device conditions that ordinary automated tests cannot verify, while limiting sensitive actions such as entering passcodes or confirming purchases.

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

vocello-ui-autonomy 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 3d 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.

Autonomous UI checks beyond XCUITest

Goal: $ARGUMENTS

Read docs/reference/development-workflow.md (Computer use) and the routing table in docs/reference/ios-device-testing.md. Maintainer decisions of 2026-10-25: XCUITest stays the only automated evidence; computer use is the default route for everything it cannot cover; a computer-use record closes an attended row only when the maintainer confirms it; phone work happens only in a window the maintainer announced; Claude never changes a system or security setting, grants a permission, enters a passcode or credential, deletes the app or confirms a purchase.

Route each check

  • XCUITest can drive it (app UI with stable identifiers): use scripts/ui_test.sh (skill vocello-ios-validation or vocello-macos-ui), then review the run's screenshots (below).
  • XCUITest cannot, and the check survives Mirroring's conditions (UI flows, in-app settings, model management, TestFlight installs, reproductions, visual inspection): computer use.
  • Maintainer by hand: anything needing an iPhone system setting (Wi-Fi off, airplane mode, Auto-Lock, Low Data Mode, Developer Mode, UI Automation), a permission prompt, the passcode or Face ID, the microphone or camera, audio routing or interruptions (Mirroring sends audio to the Mac), VoiceOver, app deletion, a purchase confirmation. Pause and notify (below).

Window protocol (iPhone)

  1. Setup card, sent once at the window's start: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on (both devices); Auto-Lock as the rows need; Developer Mode and UI Automation on; a Focus on so notifications stay out of screenshots; the build to test installed; Screen Recording allowed once for the capturing app; the phone unlocked.
  2. Block A, lanes: scripts/ios_device.sh mirroring stop, then every XCUITest lane in scope. The lanes' ui-preflight refuses while iPhone Mirroring runs, because XCUITest breaks under it.
  3. Handoff: ask the maintainer to lock the phone (Mirroring needs it locked; unlocking ends Mirroring).
  4. Block B, Mirroring: scripts/ios_device.sh mirroring status, then scripts/ios_device.sh mirroring session <label>; request_access for "iPhone Mirroring"; open_application "iPhone Mirroring"; screenshot before every action; act; after each meaningful step scripts/ios_device.sh mirroring capture <label> --step "<action>" --observed "<what shows>"; verify before moving on.
  5. Close: scripts/ios_device.sh mirroring stop; report each record (folder under build/artifacts/ios/mirroring) for the maintainer's confirmation; never claim a row closed before 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.
