Curated by Skill Harbor — a TV-automation skill by @software-mansion (part of the Argent toolkit) that lets an agent control and inspect apps on Apple TV (tvOS simulator), Android TV (leanback emulator), and Amazon Fire TV (Vega VVD). The core rule: a TV is focus-driven, not touch-driven — drive every interaction with `describe` + `tv-remote` + `keyboard`, never coordinate taps. Covers the navigation loop (describe → move focus with single or pathed D-pad presses → re-describe), typing into focused fields, app launch/restart/reinstall, screenshots, per-platform notes (tvOS HID daemon behavior, leanback RN focus-engine blind spots, Vega VVD lifecycle and Debug-vs-Release constraints), Fast Refresh via Metro, and Vega JS-runtime debugging (connect, evaluate, console logs, network inspector) with the honest list of legacy-Hermes limitations. Honest caveats: requires the Argent CLI/tooling installed and targets bootable emulators/simulators/VVDs — not physical TVs by default; Vega component-tree/profiler tools are hard-blocked by its legacy Hermes inspector. Credit to its creator. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.

Install
Prerequisites: the Argent CLI/tooling installed (part of the Argent toolkit); bootable TV targets (tvOS simulator, Android TV leanback emulator, or Vega VVD). No accounts or API keys needed. Install "Argent TV — drive Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV from an agent" for me. It's a TV-automation skill from the Argent toolkit: focus-driven remote navigation (describe focus, D-pad moves, typing, screenshots) for Apple TV, Android TV leanback, and Fire TV Vega — plus Vega JS-runtime debugging — with per-platform notes and gotchas. Repository: https://github.com/software-mansion/argent/blob/main/packages/skills/skills/argent-tv-interact/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "argent-tv-interact". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. save my API key in the vault). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
