xcodebuild-notify

xcodebuild-notify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from artemnovichkov/skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (419 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automatic macOS notification hook that runs after Bash commands containing xcodebuild, Apple’s command-line build tool. It reports whether the build succeeded or failed and includes project details when available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Detecting xcodebuild commands, reading their result, and showing Build Succeeded or Build Failed notifications with the scheme and project.
Why use it?
It gives quick visual feedback for command-line builds, so developers do not need to inspect terminal output after every build.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

xcodebuild-notify 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (hooks/scripts/xcodebuild-notify.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

xcodebuild-notify

macOS notifications for xcodebuild commands, mimicking Xcode's native build notifications.

When to Use

This skill activates automatically via a PostToolUse hook on Bash commands. No manual invocation needed — any xcodebuild command triggers it.

How It Works

The hook script (hooks/scripts/xcodebuild-notify.sh) runs after every Bash tool use:

  1. Checks if the command contains xcodebuild — exits early if not
  2. Parses -scheme and -project flags from the command
  3. Checks tool output for BUILD SUCCEEDED or BUILD FAILED
  4. Sends a macOS notification via osascript

Hook Configuration

The PostToolUse hook is defined in hooks/hooks.json:

{
  "PostToolUse": [
    {
      "matcher": "Bash",
      "hooks": [
        {
          "type": "command",
          "command": "bash $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/scripts/xcodebuild-notify.sh",
          "async": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Notification Examples

Build succeeds:

Title: "Build Succeeded"
Body:  "MyScheme | MyApp Project"

Build fails:

Title: "Build Failed"
Body:  "MyScheme | MyApp Project"

Commands that don't produce BUILD SUCCEEDED or BUILD FAILED (e.g., xcodebuild clean, xcodebuild -help) are silently skipped.

Requirements

  • macOS (uses osascript for notifications)
  • jq (brew install jq) — parses hook input JSON
Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md 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.
