Real AI agent use cases, with sources and setup prompts

Record real iPhone sessions and let a Claude Code skill find the bugs

ios-black-box works like a flight recorder for your iOS app: it records the screen, what the app says out loud and an event log of everything it did on a real iPhone, and a Claude Code skill reads the recording back and finds the bugs.

What they did

ios-black-box works like a flight recorder for your iOS app: it records the screen, what the app says out loud and an event log of everything it did on a real iPhone, and a Claude Code skill reads the recording back and finds the bugs.

Result (as claimed)

Open source; the builder's point is that the simulator guesses while the real phone shows what happened.

Tools they used

Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo.

Set it up

  1. Pick a contained repo or task

    Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.

  2. Install and configure

    Set up Claude Code. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.

  3. Run it on a real task

    Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.

  4. Add guardrails

    Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.

Copy the full setup prompt

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
