Run in Simulator

Launches the actual app in the iOS Simulator and drives it far enough to see what a user would see. Building proves the code compiles; this skill proves it runs. The payoff is a screenshot of the live app that you read back to confirm the change — a blank or crashed frame is a failure, not a pass.

This skill is generic. Nothing about a specific app is hardcoded — the scheme, simulator, product path, and bundle id are all discovered at runtime.

When This Skill Activates

Use this skill when the user:

  • Asks to "run", "launch", or "open" the app in the simulator
  • Wants to see a change working, not just compile it
  • Asks for a screenshot of the running app
  • Wants to verify a UI fix visually before committing or pushing
  • Says "does this actually work?" about a view/flow they just changed
