# Skills

> Install TapKit skills to teach any AI agent how to use iPhone apps

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](https://agentskills.io) standard and work with any agent that supports them.

You should always use skills alongside one of TapKit's connection methods — the [MCP server](/integrations/mcp) or the [CLI](/integrations/cli). Skills tell the agent *what to do*; the MCP server and CLI give it *the ability to do it*.

## Install skills

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add jootsing-research/skills
```

This installs skills into your project's `.agents/skills/` directory, where most agents automatically pick them up.

## 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.

| Skill              | App         | What it covers                                  |
| ------------------ | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `tapkit:hinge`     | Hinge       | Profile cards, roses, messaging, preferences    |
| `tapkit:telegram`  | Telegram    | Chat types, reactions, search, bots, groups     |
| `tapkit:tiktok`    | TikTok      | Feed, video actions, DMs, creator pages         |
| `tapkit:linkedin`  | LinkedIn    | Feed, networking, jobs, messaging               |
| `tapkit:uber-eats` | Uber Eats   | Restaurant search, ordering, checkout, reorders |
| `tapkit:twitter`   | Twitter / X | Coming soon                                     |
| `tapkit:instagram` | Instagram   | Coming soon                                     |

Install the core skill plus whichever app skills match your use case.

## Using skills with a connection method

Skills on their own don't give the agent access to your phone — they just teach it how apps work. You need to pair them with a connection method:

* **[MCP server](/integrations/mcp)** — connect TapKit as a remote MCP server so the agent can execute taps, swipes, screenshots, and other actions
* **[CLI](/integrations/cli)** — install the TapKit CLI and let the agent run commands directly

You can also build your own integration on top of the [API](/api-reference/introduction).
