update-xcode

A procedure for upgrading the pinned version of Xcode and updating repository files that refer to its installation path.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install a newer Xcode version, accept its license, and resync the repository’s Xcode references.
Why use it?
It removes the need to find and change every hardcoded Xcode path by hand after an upgrade.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 E, and why

update-xcode scanned grade E with 4 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 2d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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.

update-xcode is a skill published in the GitHub repository jitrapon/astro-mobile (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), with no licence file. It adds 202 tokens to every session and 3,080 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it E with 4 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories, enumerates other installed skills). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
