argent-device-interact

argent-device-interact is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from software-mansion/argent. It costs 78 tokens per session (6,360 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A common control interface for interacting with an iOS simulator, Android emulator, or Chromium app, such as a browser or Electron desktop app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to tap, swipe, scroll, type, press hardware buttons, open URLs, manage Chromium tabs, wait for interface changes, and take screenshots.
Why use it?
It lets the same interaction approach work across different device types instead of requiring separate controls for each platform.

About the project

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.

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

argent-device-interact 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 today.

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 — 400 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Unified tool surface

All interaction tools below accept a udid parameter and auto-dispatch iOS vs Android based on its shape (UUID → iOS simulator, chromium-cdp-<port> → Chromium (CDP) app, anything else → Android adb serial). You use the same tool names on every platform.

Chromium (CDP) app = an Electron app or a Chromium-family browser (Chrome/Brave/Edge) exposing a Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint. The same describe/tap/keyboard/screenshot surface drives it, but scrolling, tabs, cookies and storage differ: read references/chromium.md before driving a chromium target.

1. Before You Start

If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.

Use list-devices to get a target id. Results are tagged with platform (ios, android, or chromium); booted/ready devices come first. Pick the first entry that matches the platform you need; if none are ready, call boot-device with udid (iOS), avdName (Android), or electronAppPath (boots an Electron app as a chromium device). A Chromium browser already running with a CDP port shows up directly; no boot-device needed. See argent-ios-simulator-setup / argent-android-emulator-setup for full setup flow.

Load tool schemas before first use. Gesture tools (gesture-tap, gesture-swipe, gesture-pinch, gesture-rotate, gesture-custom) may be deferred: their parameter schemas are not loaded until fetched. Always use ToolSearch to load the schemas of all gesture tools you plan to use before calling any of them. If you skip this step, parameters may be coerced to strings instead of numbers, causing validation errors.

2. Best Practices

  1. Always refer to tapping_rule from your argent.md rule before tapping.
  2. Before performing interactions, consider whether they can be dispatched sequentially - more on that in run-sequence.
  3. Use gesture-swipe for lists/scrolling, not gesture-custom, unless you need non-linear movement. On Chromium use gesture-scroll instead; gesture-swipe is touch-only. Consider whether you need multiple swipes, if yes - use run-sequence. Pass momentum: false when the swipe should decelerate before ending for a precise movement.
  4. Tap a text field before typing, then use keyboard to enter text.
  5. Coordinates are normalized: always 0.0–1.0, not pixels.
  6. For app navigation, use the element tree returned after each action (--- Elements after action (describe) ---); call describe only when no fresh tree is available for the current screen. It works on any screen without app restart. Do not navigate from screenshot pixels on regular in-app screens unless the tree failed to expose a reliable target. Use native-describe-screen only when you need app-scoped UIKit properties.

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.
