Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install ios-simulator-control-orca

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent controls an Apple simulator through the Orca CLI: taps, gestures, typing, hardware buttons, rotation and the accessibility tree, with the device view shown in Orca's panel. It is used to obtain visual evidence of an iOS change.
