## SKILL.md

## 1. Setup Steps

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

1. **Find a booted simulator**
   Use `list-devices`. Filter for entries with `platform: "ios"` — booted iPhones are listed first.
   If none are booted, call `boot-device` with `udid: <chosen UDID>`.

2. **Verify connection**
   All interaction tools (`gesture-tap`, `gesture-swipe`, `gesture-custom`, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.

## 2. Notes

- UDIDs look like: `A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890`
