Command Categories

Full command documentation split by scope:

Reference	Commands	Platforms
`references/core.md`	screenshot, annotate, tap, swipe, input, key, ui-dump, apps, launch, stop, install, uninstall, logs, shell, and more	Cross-platform
`references/android-only.md`	analyze-screen, find-and-tap, screen on/off	Android
`references/desktop.md`	get-window-info, focus-window, resize-window, launch/stop desktop apps, metrics, monitors	Desktop
`references/platform-support.md`	Per-platform support matrix and backend details	All

Tips

Use --compress on screenshots when sending to LLM — reduces token usage significantly
analyze-screen gives structured JSON of buttons/inputs/texts — useful for automated testing
find-and-tap uses fuzzy matching with confidence scoring — good for flaky element names
Aurora commands use audb (Aurora Debug Bridge) — similar to ADB
Desktop commands communicate via JSON-RPC with a companion app over stdin/stdout
Combine ui-dump + tap --index N for reliable element interaction by index
Use wait between actions in automation scripts to allow UI transitions
