axe tap --id "myButton" --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Submit" --udid $UDID
# With timing controls

Text Input
# Direct text (use single quotes for special characters)
axe type 'Hello World!' --udid $UDID
# From stdin (best for automation)
echo "Complex text" | axe type --stdin --udid $UDID
# From file
axe type --file input.txt --udid $UDID
# Individual key press by HID keycode
axe key 40 --udid $UDID # Enter key

# Key sequence
axe key-sequence --keycodes 11,8,15,15,18 --udid $UDID # "hello"
Hardware Buttons
axe button home --udid $UDID
axe button lock --duration 2.0 --udid $UDID
axe button side-button --udid $UDID
axe button siri --udid $UDID
axe button apple-pay --udid $UDID
Screenshot & Video
# Screenshot (auto-generates filename)
axe screenshot --udid $UDID
# Screenshot to specific path
axe screenshot --output ~/Desktop/screenshot.png --udid $UDID
# Video recording to MP4
axe record-video --udid $UDID --fps 15 --output recording.mp4
axe record-video --udid $UDID --fps 10 --quality 60 --scale 0.5 --output low-bandwidth.mp4
# Stream MJPEG
axe stream-video --udid $UDID --fps 10 --format mjpeg > stream.mjpeg
# Pipe to ffmpeg
axe stream-video --udid $UDID --fps 30 --format ffmpeg | \
ffmpeg -f image2pipe -framerate 30 -i - -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast output.mp4
Press Ctrl+C to stop recording. AXe finalizes MP4 and prints path to stdout.
Accessibility Inspection
# Full screen accessibility tree
axe describe-ui --udid $UDID
# Accessibility info at specific point
axe describe-ui --point 100,200 --udid $UDID
Automation Patterns
Wait-then-tap pattern
axe tap --label "Continue" --pre-delay 2.0 --udid $UDID
Scroll to find element
for i in {1..5}; do
axe describe-ui --udid $UDID | grep -q "targetElement" && break
axe gesture scroll-down --udid $UDID
done
axe tap --label "targetElement" --udid $UDID
Form filling
axe tap --label "Email" --udid $UDID
axe type '[email protected]' --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Password" --udid $UDID
axe type 'secret123' --udid $UDID
axe tap --label "Sign In" --udid $UDID
Screenshot after action
axe tap --label "Submit" --post-delay 1.0 --udid $UDID
axe screenshot --output result.png --udid $UDID

Generate breadboard circuit mockups and visual diagrams using HTML5 Canvas drawing techniques. Use when asked to create circuit layouts, visualize electronic component placements, draw breadboard diagrams, mockup 6502 builds, generate retro computer schematics, or design vintage electronics projects. Supports 555 timers, W65C02S microprocessors, 28C256 EEPROMs, W65C22 VIA chips, 7400-series logic gates, LEDs, resistors, capacitors, switches, buttons, crystals, and wires.
Analyze images, websites, and Figma files to extract their design and generate a `design.md` with token system, component inventory, and reconstruction notes. Use this skill whenever the user wants to understand, document, replicate, or audit the design of something visual: a screenshot, a URL, a Figma link, a Pinterest reference, a mockup, a competitor's site, a component, a dashboard, a landing page. Also when they ask 'extract the design system from X', 'document the style of Y', 'analyze this visually', 'convert this image into tokens', 'help me replicate this design', 'what palette does this site use', 'how is this built'. Also for single elements: 'copy this navbar', 'recreate this illustration', 'give me a prompt to regenerate this graphic' — element mode outputs a focused element.md, with token-grounded image-model prompts when the element is visual art. If the user brings any visual source and wants to understand it at a design level — this skill should activate.
Premium brand-kit image generation skill for creating high-end brand-guidelines boards, logo systems, identity decks, and visual-world presentations. Trained for minimalist, cinematic, editorial, dark-tech, luxury, cultural, security, gaming, developer-tool, and consumer-app brand systems. Optimized for intentional logo concepting, refined composition, sparse typography, strong symbolic meaning, premium mockups, art-directed imagery, and flexible grid layouts.
Elite mobile app image-generation skill for creating premium, app-native screen concepts and flows. Designed for iOS, Android, and cross-platform mobile products. Prioritizes clean hierarchy, comfortably readable text, strong multi-screen consistency, controlled color palettes, non-generic creative direction, textured surfaces, image-led composition, tasteful custom iconography, and clean phone mockup framing. By default, screens should be shown inside a subtle premium iPhone or similar phone mockup with a visible frame, while the main focus stays on the app content itself. This skill generates images only. It does not write code.
Optimize web performance: bundle size, images, caching, lazy loading, and overall page speed. Use when site is slow, reducing bundle size, fixing layout shifts, improving Time to Interactive, or optimizing for Lighthouse scores. Triggers on: web performance, bundle size, page speed, slow site, lazy loading. Do NOT use for Core Web Vitals-specific fixes (use core-web-vitals), running Lighthouse audits (use perf-lighthouse), or Astro-specific optimization (use perf-astro).

How to use it
Take aiskillstore/axe-ios-simulator from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference brew.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
