Swipe

Drags one finger from one point to another. Both points are a percentage of the screen, so the gesture means the same thing on any device.

The piece

Drag from one point to another — scroll a list, dismiss a card, pull to refresh. All four coordinates are a % of the screen (0–100), so the same gesture lands correctly on any resolution. Author the %, or draw the swipe on the live device when it runs. Defaults to a scroll-down (bottom → top).

Pause the run at this step and stream the live device: drag on the screen to draw the swipe (the drag's own speed becomes the duration), rehearse it on the real device, then confirm — it swipes and continues, and the gesture is saved back onto this node (2½ min limit — the step is skipped if you don't confirm in time). Disables scheduling.

A short drag is a fling and the list keeps coasting after the finger lifts. A long one is a controlled drag that stops where you left it.

Turn on “Draw the swipe on the device when it runs” and the run pauses and streams the device: drag on the screen, rehearse it, confirm — and the gesture is written back onto the node. Two and a half minutes to confirm.

What comes out

Nothing new — assert on what the swipe revealed.

Watch out

A swipe that starts or ends at the very edge of the screen is a system gesture, not an app one. Keep both points away from 0 and 100.
For an ordinary list this is more control than you need — Scroll works the geometry out for you.
