| name | kuri-mobile |
| description | Umbrella skill for mobile device control in the kuri ecosystem. Points to kuri-ios (iOS Simulator + real-device listing) and kuri-android (native Zig adb client). Use this when the user asks about "mobile automation" generally, or hasn't specified a platform. For platform-specific work prefer the `kuri-ios` or `kuri-android` skill directly. |
kuri-mobile (umbrella)
kuri-mobile is the Zig-native subproject at kuri-mobile/ that
adds mobile device control to the kuri browser-automation stack.
Inspired by mobile-device-mcp,
reimplemented in Zig with no Bun, Node, Gradle, or Xcode in the
build path.
Use the platform-specific skills for actual work:
kuri-ios — iOS Simulator (boot, openurl, launch, terminate,
screenshot, list-apps) + real-iPhone listing (usbmuxd) +
real-iPhone launch/terminate (devicectl).kuri-android — Android devices and emulators (tap, swipe,
type, press, screenshot, uitree, launch, terminate, list-apps)
via a native Zig adb wire-protocol client.
Build once, use everywhere
cd kuri-mobile
zig build
zig build test
cp zig-out/bin/kuri-mobile ../zig-out/bin/
The main kuri binary forwards kuri android <cmd> and
kuri ios <cmd> to kuri-mobile (it execvps it from the same
directory or $PATH). So either invocation works:
kuri android list-devices
kuri-mobile android list-devices
Driverless scope (important)
We deliberately do not install an on-device driver app.
Consequences you must be honest about:
- No
run_code JavaScript sandbox.
- No tap / swipe / type / uitree on real iOS devices (that would
require a vendored XCUITest bundle; intentionally out of scope).
- Android gets nearly the full upstream tool surface because its
shell already exposes
input, screencap, uiautomator dump,
monkey, am, pm.

When to reach for which skill
| User asks about… | Invoke |
|---|
| "iPhone", "iOS", "sim", "Safari on simulator", "iPad" | kuri-ios |
| "Android", "adb", "emulator", "Pixel", "Galaxy", "APK" | kuri-android |
| "mobile" without specifying | either — ask first, or default to this umbrella note |
| Browser automation (Chrome, CDP) | not a mobile skill — use kuri-server, kuri-agent, or kuri-browse |
