Revyl Cloud Agent

Revyl Cloud Agent Skill

Use this skill whenever you are running as a Cursor Cloud/background agent (headless Linux VM) and working with Revyl. Drive devices with the CLI. The plugin does not start MCP.

Environment Ground Rules (non-negotiable)

• The VM is headless and non-interactive. Never start the revyl dev TUI.
• Before the first revyl command, prepend the user PATH directories the plugin publishes the CLI onto (~/.revyl/bin, then ~/.local/bin if that path already holds a different CLI):

bashCopy code
export PATH="$HOME/.revyl/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

The plugin cache is not on PATH. Do not invoke ${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT} or the cached binary as the shell command.

• If a real REVYL_API_KEY is in the environment, run revyl auth persist-cloud-env once so the key never reaches argv. Never print the key.
• If that command reports no key, run revyl auth login and post the printed approval URL as a clickable markdown link plus the short code, then wait. Optional REVYL_API_KEY as a Runtime Secret is the unattended path, not the only path. Never request or accept the key in chat.
• The VM has no Xcode. Native iOS dev loops must use revyl dev --remote. Treat Android the same unless the VM demonstrably has the SDK.

Session Lifecycle (devices cost money and outlive the VM)

• Cloud device sessions do not die when the VM exits. revyl dev stop is mandatory before completion.
• At the start of a run, use revyl dev list to check for a suitable existing session. Do not stack new devices on stale ones.

Bounded Monitoring (never hang the shell)

• Use revyl dev status for independent status snapshots.
• After native changes, call revyl dev rebuild, continue independent work, then revyl dev rebuild --wait with a finite timeout.

Artifacts and Evidence

• Post viewer_url as a clickable markdown link as soon as revyl dev --detach --json returns.
• Use revyl device screenshot and revyl device validation as evidence.
• Never claim the Cloud VM opened a browser or the user's local Cursor Desktop.

Auth Bypass and Secrets

• Selected launch configurations apply automatically to fresh raw device, dev, test, and workflow runs. Do not fetch their payloads or repeat them explicitly.
• If the app shows a logged-out state mid-session but the boot token is still valid, run revyl dev auth refresh --json. If the token itself expired, revyl dev stop then revyl dev so a fresh mint is applied as launch environment.
• Never paste launch-configuration payloads, tokens, or API keys into code, chat, logs, screenshots, or PRs.

Optional custom MCP

Users who add a personal MCP entry with a literal command such as revyl or /usr/local/bin/revyl can install the MCP dev-loop skill by name. Never ${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT} or ${env:...}. The plugin does not start that server. Do not call MCP tools unless that skill is installed and the tools are registered.

Git Hygiene

• Before committing, confirm .revyl/.gitignore exists (created by revyl init; it keeps dev-session runtime state out of git — only config.yaml and tests/ belong in the repo).
• Never commit artifacts, screenshots, logs, or minted launch-var files.

PR Flow

• If gh is read-only in this environment, use the ManagePullRequest tool instead.
• The PR body carries the evidence: the viewer_url, the key inline screenshots, and a one-line summary of what was verified on-device.
