16
+ ## What it does
23
17
 
24
- | Platform | Targets | Interaction |
25
- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
26
- | **iOS** | Simulators and physical iPhones | Touch / gesture |
27
- | **Android** | Emulators (AVDs) and physical devices over adb | Touch / gesture |
28
- | **TV** | Apple TV (tvOS), Android TV / Google TV, Amazon Fire TV (Vega) | D-pad / remote |
29
- | **Desktop & web** | Electron and Chromium apps (incl. React Native Web / Expo web) over CDP | Mouse / keyboard |
18
+ - **Interact** - tap, swipe, gesture, type, hardware buttons; D-pad on TV; mouse and keyboard on desktop.
19
+ - **Flows** - record a path once, replay it deterministically as a repro or smoke test.
20
+ - **Visual regression** - diff a baseline against a live capture, OCR- and font-aware.
21
+ - **Profiling** - Hermes, React DevTools, Xcode Instruments, Perfetto: renders, CPU hotspots, hangs.
22
+ - **Debugging** - logs, network (`fetch` and native), JS evaluation, native and React trees.
23
+ - **React Native** - build, launch and iterate, no extra setup.
30
24
 
31
- ## Capabilities
25
+ Ask your assistant _"What can Argent do?"_ to list every tool.
32
26
 
33
- - **Autonomous mobile, TV and desktop development** - Allow your agent to work with iOS, Android, TV and Electron/web apps on its own - let it build, open, interact with the app and debug it. Ask for reproducing issues, testing features manually, profiling your app and much more, without ever interrupting your work.
34
- - **UI interaction** - Give your agent the full control toolkit - tapping, swiping, pinching, typing, gestures and hardware buttons on mobile; the directional remote on TV; mouse, scroll and drag on desktop/web. Let it navigate your app exactly as a user would, without lifting a finger.
35
- - **Record & replay flows** - Capture a sequence of interactions once and let your agent replay it deterministically, so manual repros and smoke tests become repeatable.
36
- - **Visual regression** - Diff two screenshots (or a saved baseline against a live capture) with OCR- and font-aware comparison to catch unintended UI changes.
37
- - **Profiling with batteries included** - Argent can perform and analyze React Native (Hermes), React DevTools and native (Xcode Instruments / Android Perfetto) profiling sessions - down to fiber renders, CPU hotspots and cross-correlated commit-vs-hang reports. Get comprehensive summaries and ask to optimise your app where you find fit.
38
- - **Debugging and diagnostics** - Let your agent inspect logs, capture network traffic (JS `fetch` and native), evaluate JS in the running app, walk the native UIKit and React component trees, and reproduce failing states - so you can jump straight to the fix.
39
- - **Desktop & web control** - For Electron and Chromium apps your agent can drive tabs, read and write cookies and storage, walk the DOM and inspect network over the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
40
- - **React Native out of the box** - Argent works with React Native apps natively, so your agent can build, launch, and iterate on your RN project the same way it would any native app - no extra setup required.

- ## Installation
52
-
53
- #### Prerequisites
54
-
55
- - **Node.js 20.12** or later
56
- - For iOS / tvOS: macOS with **Xcode** installed (Apple TV uses tvOS simulators — Xcode downloads the tvOS runtime on demand)
57
- - For Android / Android TV: **Android SDK Platform Tools** (`adb`) on `PATH`, and the **Android Emulator** package if you want to boot AVDs from Argent. Create AVDs via Android Studio or `avdmanager`.
58
- - For Fire TV (Vega): the **Vega SDK** (`vega` CLI) on `PATH`
59
- - For Electron / Chromium: nothing extra to control an already-running app - just launch it with `--remote-debugging-port`, or let Argent spawn your Electron app for you
60
-
61
- ##### Linux host: extra prerequisites for Android emulators
62
-
63
- Argent runs Android emulators on Linux but the default install can be slow if a few host-side knobs aren't right. Cover these once and the experience matches macOS:
64
-
65
- - **KVM access.** The emulator falls back to slow software emulation (TCG) without `/dev/kvm`. Make sure virtualization is enabled in BIOS/UEFI (`vmx` for Intel, `svm` for AMD in `/proc/cpuinfo`) and that your user can read/write `/dev/kvm` — on most distros that means joining the `kvm` group:
66
-
67
- ```bash
68
- sudo usermod -aG kvm "$USER"
69
- # log out and back in so the new group takes effect
70
- ```
71
-
72
- - **GPU mode (`-gpu swiftshader` on Linux, override available).** The Android emulator's Linux GPU story is messy: `-gpu auto` frequently resolves to lavapipe (slow software Vulkan via host libvulkan, ~10× cold-boot regression on flagship hardware), and `-gpu host` silently produces a corrupted or black emulator window on hosts with non-trivial GL stacks — dual-GPU / Optimus laptops, NVIDIA + Mesa coexistence via libglvnd, Wayland sessions on hybrid graphics, headless / containerized hosts. The failure mode is invisible to argent's framebuffer-based screenshot tool, so an agent reports success while the developer sees a black window.
73
-
74
- Argent picks `-gpu swiftshader` on Linux for universal compatibility: it sidesteps the host GL stack entirely and renders via the emulator's bundled SwiftShader. On modern multi-core machines this is indistinguishably smooth from hardware-accelerated `-gpu host` (and far faster than lavapipe).
75
-
76
- Override with the `ARGENT_EMULATOR_GPU_MODE` env var if you've verified `-gpu host` works on your machine (typical single-GPU Mesa box with a healthy X session):
77
-
78
- ```bash
79
- ARGENT_EMULATOR_GPU_MODE=host argent ...
80
- ```
81
-
82
- Argent's boot-device preflight prints a warning if `/dev/kvm` isn't usable — the condition that causes a 10–50× TCG-vs-KVM slowdown.
83
-
84
- - **System image.** Prefer the `default` or `google_apis` variants of `x86_64` system images for headless agent workflows; `google_apis_playstore` adds noticeable boot-time CPU churn from Play services. Always pick `x86_64` on Intel/AMD hosts — ARM images run via QEMU translation and are dramatically slower.
85
-
86
- - **AVD config.** AVDs created via `avdmanager create avd` default to `hw.gpu.enabled=no`. Argent overrides this with an explicit `-gpu` arg at launch (so the on-disk config doesn't need editing). For the smoothest experience under heavy native builds (gradle compilations alongside the AVD), bump the AVD's RAM and CPU count — edit `~/.android/avd/<name>.avd/config.ini`:
87
-
88
- ```
89
- hw.ramSize = 8192
90
- hw.cpu.ncore = 6
91
- vm.heapSize = 512
92
- ```
93
-
94
- Stock 2 GB / 4 vCPU AVDs can be CPU-starved into wedged-system_server states by a concurrent gradle/Kotlin compile.
95
-
96
- - **Headless / CI mode (`ARGENT_EMULATOR_NO_WINDOW=1`).** Argent shows the emulator window by default so a local developer can see the AVD UI. In a headless context — CI runner, container, or a Wayland-only session where the emulator's bundled Qt has no `wayland` platform plugin and SIGABRTs on the crash-consent dialog — opt out by exporting `ARGENT_EMULATOR_NO_WINDOW=1` before starting the tool-server. This appends `-no-window` to the spawn args, selecting `qemu-system-x86_64-headless` which doesn't need a Qt window. Argent's screencap-based screenshot tool reads the in-memory framebuffer correctly without a visible window.
97
-
98
- #### Run `init` in your project
99
-
100
- From your project root:
101
-
102
- ```bash
103
- npx @swmansion/argent@latest init
104
- # or, in a pnpm project (where npm's devEngines check may refuse to run npx):
105
- pnpm dlx @swmansion/argent@latest init
106
- ```
107
-
108
- This command triggers an installation wizard which:
109
-
110
- - Installs `@swmansion/argent` globally
111
- - Detects your editor and registers the MCP server
112
- - Copies skills, rules, and agent definitions into your workspace
113
-
114
- #### Prefer a manual install?
115
-
116
- ```bash
117
- npm install -g @swmansion/argent
118
- argent init
119
- ```
120
-
121
- #### Share Argent with your team (committable install)
122
-
123
- By default Argent installs **globally**. To version Argent _with your repo_ so every
124
- teammate gets the same setup on `npm install` — no per-developer global install, no
125
- `argent init` — choose the local mode:
126
-
127
- ```bash
128
- npx @swmansion/argent@latest init --local
129
- # or, in a pnpm project:
130
- pnpm dlx @swmansion/argent@latest init --local
131
- ```
132
-
133
- > Note: in a freshly `pnpm init`-ed project, `npx` itself may refuse to run
134
- > (npm's `devEngines` check) — use the `pnpm dlx` form there.
135
-
136
- This adds `@swmansion/argent` to your project's `devDependencies` and writes MCP
137
- configs that launch the project-local copy (`node node_modules/@swmansion/argent/dist/cli.js mcp`).
138
- Commit `package.json` + your lockfile, the generated MCP config (`.mcp.json`,
139
- `.cursor/mcp.json`, …), `.argent/install.json`, and the skills/rules/agents files.
140
- Teammates then just run `npm install`.
141
-
142
- Pass `--global` to force the default mode in scripts; `--local` and `--global` are
143
- mutually exclusive. A non-interactive (`--yes`) run defaults to global unless the
144
- project already opted into local mode (a committed `.argent/install.json`, or
145
- `@swmansion/argent` declared in the project's own `package.json`).
146
-
147
- > In local mode the committed MCP config runs the project-local copy, so the bare
148
- > `argent` command is **not** on teammates' `PATH`. Note that `npm install` builds
149
- > Argent's native deps (`tree-sitter`) on each machine — prebuilt for macOS, Linux
150
- > x64, and Windows x64; other targets (Linux arm64, Windows arm) compile from source
151
- > and need a C/C++ toolchain.

- ## CLI Reference
154
-
155
- | Command | Description |
156
- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
157
- | `argent init` | Install and configure MCP in the current workspace (`--global` default, `--local` for a committable devDependency) |
158
- | `argent install` | Alias for `init` command |
159
- | `argent update` | Pull the latest version and refresh workspace configuration (acts on the present install — both when a global install and a project devDependency coexist; `--global`/`--local` select explicitly) |
160
- | `argent uninstall` | Unregister the MCP server and uninstall the package (`--global`/`--local` choose which install — and its configs — is removed; non-interactive runs never remove a coexisting global install) |
161
- | `argent remove` | Alias for `uninstall` command |
162
- | `argent mcp` | Start MCP server instance, used internally by agent |
163
- | `argent tools` | List tools exposed by the tool-server (`describe <name>` for details) |
164
- | `argent run` | Invoke a tool by name |
165
- | `argent server` | Manage the shared tool-server: `start` / `status` / `stop` / `logs` |
166
- | `argent lens` | Open Argent Lens bound to a fresh coding-agent session — Claude by default, `--agent` selects codex/gemini/opencode/cursor (macOS; behind the `argent-lens` flag — run `argent enable argent-lens` first) |
167
- | `argent link` | Route client requests to a remote tool-server |
168
- | `argent unlink` | Remove the persisted remote tool-server link |
169
