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

xcode-build-run-workflow 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.

Xcode Build Run Workflow

Purpose

Use this skill as the primary execution workflow for non-testing work in or around Xcode-managed projects and workspaces. Keep it focused on workspace inspection, read/search diagnostics, builds, runs, previews, toolchain management, file membership, Release-versus-Debug validation, and the .pbxproj warning boundary. scripts/run-workflow.fsx is the runtime entrypoint for MCP-first build/run execution, official CLI fallback planning, and direct .pbxproj warning enforcement.

When To Use

  • Use this skill for Xcode workspace inspection, project discovery, read/search diagnostics, build, run, preview, and navigator-issue tasks.
  • Use this skill for Xcode MCP operations, scheme-aware execution, and official Apple CLI fallback when the work is primarily about build/run rather than tests.
  • Use this skill when direct filesystem mutation around an Xcode-managed project may be required.
  • Use this skill for file-membership and target-membership verification after on-disk edits.
  • Use this skill for Debug/Release build-configuration work, artifacts, archives, toolchain checks, and Metal-toolchain-aware build execution.
  • Recommend xcode-coding-intelligence-workflow when the request is primarily about Xcode Intelligence setup, Xcode-hosted agents, external-agent access through xcrun mcpbridge, command/tool permissions, or Xcode-only agent configuration homes.
  • Do not use this skill as the default path for Swift Testing, XCTest, XCUITest, .xctestplan, flaky-test diagnosis, retries, or test filtering.
  • Recommend xcode-testing-workflow when the task is primarily about tests or test diagnosis.
  • Recommend explore-apple-swift-docs when the user needs Apple or Swift documentation lookup rather than execution work.
  • Recommend swift-package-build-run-workflow or swift-package-testing-workflow when the task is ordinary SwiftPM package work outside Xcode-managed execution.
  • Recommend bootstrap-xcode-workspace --operation align when an existing Apple product workspace needs managed guidance alignment rather than active engineering work.

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.
