kuri-mobile

Apps & Automation
View on GitHub

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/    # so `kuri ios` / `kuri android` work

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.

Full parity matrix vs mobile-device-mcp: see kuri-mobile/README.md.
