build-error-resolver

build-error-resolver is an agent for coding agents from Desquared/agents-rules-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (287 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for diagnosing Xcode build failures in Apple app projects. It covers compilation, linker, Swift type, dependency, and project-configuration errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an Xcode build fails, including problems with Swift types, imports, protocols, generics, framework linking, Swift Package Manager dependencies, missing files, or build settings.
Why use it?
It helps trace an error to its file and line, explain the underlying cause, and identify a specific fix instead of guessing from Xcode’s error message.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build-error-resolver scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Error Categories

  1. Compilation: Type mismatches, missing imports, protocol conformance, generics
  2. Linker: Undefined/duplicate symbols, framework linking, architecture
  3. SPM: Dependency resolution, version conflicts, cache issues
  4. Project: Missing files, build settings, target membership

Workflow

  1. Parse error → identify type and root cause
  2. Locate source → file and line
  3. Diagnose → explain why it occurred
  4. Fix → specific code/config changes
  5. Prevent → avoid similar issues

Quick Reference

Error Cause Fix
Cannot convert Type mismatch Check expected vs actual
Missing argument API changed Add required parameter
Protocol requirement Missing conformance Implement methods
Undefined symbol Missing import/link Add import or framework
Ambiguous use Multiple matches Add type annotation

Output Format

ERROR: [type] - [message] LOCATION: [File:Line] CAUSE: [explanation] FIX: [code change] PREVENTION: [tips]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
