xcode-build-skills

A marketplace listing for a plugin containing six Xcode build-optimization skills. Xcode is Apple’s development tool for Swift apps, and a build is the process of turning source code into a runnable app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to benchmark clean or incremental builds, analyze compilation and package-build costs, inspect project settings, get recommendations, and apply selected build improvements.
Why use it?
It helps investigate why Xcode builds are slow or use excessive resources before applying changes. The skills cover measurement, compile hotspots, project settings, Swift Package Manager dependencies, recommendations, and approved fixes.

Security

Grade A, and why

xcode-build-skills 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 yesterday.

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.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
