What the publisher says
From the Argent repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Argent gives your AI assistant direct control of iOS simulators, Android emulators and devices, TVs (Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV) and Electron/Chromium apps. Tap a button, profile a screen, reproduce a bug - without leaving the CLI.
npx @swmansion/argent@latest init # pnpm: pnpm dlx @swmansion/argent@latest initWhat it does
- Interact - tap, swipe, gesture, type, hardware buttons; D-pad on TV; mouse and keyboard on desktop.
- Flows - record a path once, replay it deterministically as a repro or smoke test.
- Visual regression - diff a baseline against a live capture, OCR- and font-aware.
- Profiling - Hermes, React DevTools, Xcode Instruments, Perfetto: renders, CPU hotspots, hangs.
- Debugging - logs, network (fetch and native), JS evaluation, native and React trees.
- React Native - build, launch and iterate, no extra setup.
Ask your assistant "What can Argent do?" to list every tool.
