# iOS Debugger Agent ## Overview Use XcodeBuildMCP to build and run the current project scheme on a booted iOS simulator, interact with the UI, and capture logs. Prefer the MCP tools for simulator control, logs, and view inspection. ## When to Use - When the user asks to run, debug, or inspect an iOS app on a simulator. - When you need simulator UI interaction, screenshots, or runtime logs via XcodeBuildMCP. ## Core Workflow Follow this sequence unless the user asks for a narrower action. ### 1) Discover the booted simulator - Call `mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__list_sims` and select the simulator with state `Booted`. - If none are booted, ask the user to boot one (do not boot automatically unless asked). ### 2) Set session defaults - Call `mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__session-set-defaults` with: - `projectPath` or `workspacePath` (whichever the repo uses) - `scheme` for the current app - `simulatorId` from the booted device - Optional: `configuration: "Debug"`, `useLatestOS: true` ### 3) Build + run (when requested) - Call `mcp__XcodeBuildMCP__build_run_sim`. - **If the build fails**, check the error output and retry (optionally with `preferXcodebuild: true`) or escalate to the user before attemptin

About this skill
What does the ios-debugger-agent skill do?

Debug the current iOS project on a booted simulator with XcodeBuildMCP.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill ios-debugger-agent --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
