What does argent-ios-simulator-setup do?

argent-ios-simulator-setup is a short skill that gets an iOS simulator ready for the Argent toolkit's MCP tools. Claude calls list-devices, keeps entries with platform ios, and skips any marked as a physical device. Booted simulators come first in the list; if none is running, Claude calls boot-device with the chosen UDID. The connection note says gesture tools such as gesture-tap and gesture-swipe start the Argent server on their own when first used. It also reminds Claude that sub-agents handed simulator work need MCP permissions, and shows what a UDID looks like.
