// Set up and connect to an Android emulator using argent MCP tools. Use when starting a new session on Android, booting an emulator, getting a device serial, or before any UI interaction task.
Record a reusable flow (scripted sequence of MCP tool calls) that can be replayed later with a single command. Use when the user asks to create, record, or build a flow, or to script a sequence of device actions.
Interact with an iOS simulator or Android emulator using argent MCP tools. Use when tapping UI elements, performing gestures, scrolling, typing text, pressing hardware buttons, launching apps, opening URLs, taking screenshots.
Set up and connect to an iOS simulator using argent MCP tools. Use when starting a new session, booting an iOS simulator, getting an iOS UDID, or before any iOS simulator interaction task.
Debug a React Native app via Metro CDP using argent debugger tools. Use when connecting to Metro, inspecting React components, reading console logs, or evaluating JavaScript in the app runtime.
Step-by-step workflows for developing or debugging React Native apps on iOS simulator or Android emulator. Use when starting the app, debugging Metro, fixing builds, diagnosing runtime errors, or running tests.
Optimizes a React Native app by profiling first to find real bottlenecks, then sweeping for mechanical issues. Entry-point for all performance work. Use when the app feels slow, user asks to optimize, fix re-renders, reduce jank, or improve startup. Delegates to argent-react-native-profiler for measurement.

list-devices. Filter for entries with platform: "android". Ready devices (state: "device") come first. Pick the first serial (e.g. emulator-5554) unless the user specified one.boot-device with avdName: <name> from the same call's avds list. The tool transparently picks hot vs cold boot: it probes the AVD's default_boot snapshot, restores it under a tight deadline when usable, and falls back to a full cold boot otherwise. Hot path is typically ~30s; cold path takes 2–10 min. On any stage failure the tool kills the emulator process it started so your next call starts from a clean state.adb -s <serial> reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081 so the device can reach Metro on your host. Repeat if the device restarts. See the argent-metro-debugger skill.Pass the Android serial as udid to the unified interaction tools — gesture-tap, gesture-swipe, describe, screenshot, launch-app, keyboard, etc. Dispatch is automatic based on the id shape. See argent-device-interact for platform-neutral interaction tooling and the Android-specific gotchas section at the bottom of that skill.
describe on Android returns a shallower tree than iOS (no accessibility-service equivalent), but covers most tap-target discovery.reinstall-app on Android always installs with -g so first-launch runtime permissions are pre-granted.adb -s <serial> emu kill from a shell.
