If the agent you’re using doesn’t have an official TapKit plugin, skills are how you bring TapKit knowledge in. Skills are Markdown files that teach AI agents how to use apps on your phone — they follow the open Agent Skills standard and work with any agent that supports them. Use skills alongside TapKit’s MCP server. Skills tell the agent what to do; the MCP server gives it the ability to do it.

​
Install skills

Choose your agent when prompted, then select the core tapkit skill and any app skills you need.

​
Available skills

​
TapKit (core)

The core tapkit skill teaches the agent how to use TapKit itself — the coordinate system, screenshot loop, gesture types, and how to chain actions together. Always install this one.

​
App skills

App skills map out a specific iOS app’s UI — tabs, buttons, navigation patterns, and gotchas. They tell the agent what it’s looking at when it sees a screenshot. Install the core skill plus whichever app skills match your use case.

​
Use skills with MCP

Skills on their own don’t give the agent access to your phone — they teach it how apps work. Connect the agent to TapKit’s MCP server so it can execute taps, swipes, screenshots, and other actions. You can also build your own integration on top of the API.
