mobile-dev

A Claude Code skill for verifying iOS and Android mobile apps during development.

Bridges the gap between web automation (Playwright/browser-use) and mobile development.

What It Does

Gives Claude Code the ability to:

• 📸 Take screenshots of your running app
• 👆 Tap buttons and interact with UI elements
• ⌨️ Type text into fields
• 🔍 Inspect the UI hierarchy (like DOM for mobile)
• 🧪 Test user flows end-to-end
• 📱 Work with both iOS Simulator and Android Emulator

Quick Start

1. Install the underlying tool

# Via Homebrew (recommended)
brew tap AlexGladkov/claude-in-mobile
brew install claude-in-mobile

# Or via npx
npx -y claude-in-mobile --help

2. Install the skill

# Copy to your skills directory
cp -r mobile-dev ~/.agents/skills/

# Or install via clawhub (if published)
clawhub install mobile-dev

3. Use with Claude Code

Just ask Claude to verify your app:

"Take a screenshot of the iOS simulator"
"Test the login flow on Android"
"What does the home screen look like?"
"Tap the Settings button and show me what happens"

Requirements

iOS:

• macOS with Xcode
• iOS Simulator running

Android:

• Android SDK with adb in PATH
• Android Emulator running (or device with USB debugging)

How It Works

This skill wraps claude-in-mobile, a comprehensive tool for mobile automation. The skill teaches Claude:

1. When to use mobile verification (triggers on relevant phrases)
2. How to take screenshots and analyze them
3. How to interact with UI elements
4. Common testing patterns and workflows
5. Troubleshooting for setup issues

Examples

Verify a Screen

User: "Does the profile screen look right?"
Claude: *takes screenshot, analyzes layout, reports issues*

Test a Flow

User: "Test the signup flow"
Claude: *launches app, fills form, taps submit, captures result*

Debug an Issue

User: "The app crashes when I tap Settings"
Claude: *reproduces steps, captures state, checks logs*
