What is init-xcode-app?

A project starter for native SwiftUI apps, Apple’s framework for building interfaces in Swift. It creates macOS, iOS, or iOS-and-watchOS projects and can add testing, formatting, linting, cloud, continuous-integration, release, or push-notification setup.

Use it to scaffold a SwiftUI app for Apple platforms, with optional CloudKit, CI, release, or push-notification modules.

It removes the manual work of assembling a new Xcode project and its standard development tools.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00088	$0.00976
Opus 5.5	$0.00035	$0.00390
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00195
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00098

Security

Grade A, and why

init-xcode-app 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (assets/modules/release/archive.sh, scripts/render-jtbd.sh, scripts/smoke-xcode.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

init-xcode-app

Scaffolds a native SwiftUI app with XcodeGen (project.yml → generated, committed .xcodeproj), pre-loaded with the conventions and loop-closer toolchain (xcsift, the Xcode MCP, swiftformat/lint). The lighter native sibling of init-tauri-app.

When to use

"init an xcode project", "scaffold a swiftui app", "new macOS/iOS app".

Prerequisites (verify before scaffolding)

xcodegen on PATH (xcodegen --version; brew install xcodegen if missing).
Xcode + CLT (xcodebuild -version).

Procedure

1. Gather inputs (AskUserQuestion)

App name (PascalCase, e.g. Tidepool) → <Name>; lowercase → <name>.
Bundle-id prefix (default com.glebkalinin) → <bundlePrefix>.
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM (optional — blank allowed) → <TEAM>.
Target shape: ios | macos | ios-watchos.
Modules (multi-select): CloudKit · CI · Release · Push.
JTBD artifact (optional): path to a jtbd.json (else auto-discover ./jtbd.json, ~/jtbd/<name>/jtbd.json). See 1.5.
Target directory (default ~/ai_projects/<name>). Abort if non-empty.

1.5 Ingest JTBD (optional, additive)

Identical contract to init-tauri-app: resolve (explicit → ./jtbd.json → ~/jtbd/<name>/jtbd.json), confirm via hook, validate (render-jtbd.sh exits 3 → skip), pre-fill name. Artifacts written in Step 3.

2. Render core

Copy assets/core/common/* into the project (renames: gitignore→.gitignore, swiftformat→.swiftformat, CLAUDE.md→.claude/CLAUDE.md). Copy assets/core/shapes/<shape>/* into the project root. For macos, also copy assets/core/shapes/ios/Sources + Tests (macos reuses the same SwiftUI sources). Substitute <Name>/<name>/<bundlePrefix>/<TEAM> in every copied file. Blank <TEAM> → leave the placeholder line DEVELOPMENT_TEAM: "".

If a JTBD artifact was confirmed: render assets/jtbd/PRODUCT.md.template→docs/PRODUCT.md, guardrails-check.md.template→docs/internal/guardrails-check.md, insert agents-product-section.md.template into AGENTS.md after the first heading, copy the artifact to project-root jtbd.json. See assets/jtbd/jtbd-map.md.

What ships with it

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.

init-xcode-app is a skill published in the GitHub repository glebis/claude-skills (400 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 976 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
