Argent is a toolkit that lets an AI assistant control and inspect iOS, Android, TV, Electron, and Chromium applications through simulators, emulators, physical devices, or desktop connections. It is for developers who want an agent to interact with interfaces, reproduce issues, test features, debug applications, or run profiling tasks. The catalogue add-ons expose Argent's device-control and development workflows to coding agents.
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 | $0.00100 | $0.01073 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00429 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00215 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
argent-create-flow 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create an Argent flow
An Argent flow is a replayable sequence in .argent/flows/<name>.yaml.
For a saved QA test case, ticket, or acceptance criterion, load argent-qa-flows first. It adds deterministic setup, acceptance evidence, and two-pass proof.
Read the relevant reference
- Before creating or changing a flow, read Live authoring completely.
- When polishing, composing, or manually reviewing YAML, read Flow YAML. For Vega, read its platform limits before recording remote or keyboard tools.
- Flows run on physical iPhones (an iOS
list-devicesentry with kind"device"), but replay never auto-binds one, even when no simulator is booted: pass the phone's udid asdevice(CLI--device), and only aconnectedphone can run.pinch/rotatesteps fail there like the live tools. On hardware the flow tree is thedescribetree: same ids and roles, no UIView hierarchy. Seeargent-ios-device-interactfor the hardware contract. - On capture warnings, raw coordinates, unavailable trees, mistimed transitions, overlays, or replay failures, read Reliability and recovery.
Non-negotiable rules
- Record the first walkthrough. Start the recorder before the first launch or in-app action. Do not reconstruct a rehearsed path.
- Record checks when their states appear. Record
await-ui-elementlive, then convert it during polish. An echo records intent or diagnostic context, not app behavior or a verdict. A screenshot is human evidence, not an executable verdict. For absence, record the same selector asvisible, perform the removing action, then record it ashidden. - Use semantic targets. Prefer a strict id, then stable text or an accessibility label. Use
scroll-tofor off-screen elements. Resolve every raw-point warning immediately through the coordinate fallback gate. - Prove every screen change. Record a destination-only identity check. During polish, follow it with
await: { idle: true }. Stillness does not prove identity, andidlecan pass with a warning. - Polish only executed behavior. Convert recorded steps without changing their meaning. Record any missing action or structural check live. The only unrecorded insertions are a planned
snapshot:, a navigationawait: { idle: true }, and the documented Chromium packaginglaunch:. - Use scripts only when the user requests them. Read Flow YAML: Local scripts, then record each script with
flow-add-script. - Replay the final YAML end to end. A normal flow needs one uninterrupted full pass.
argent-qa-flowsrequires two consecutive passes.
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.

argent-create-flow is a skill published in the GitHub repository software-mansion/argent (3,059 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 1,073 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
