apple-pim: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/xcode-build-fixer/SKILL.md

xcode-build-fixer is a skill for Claude Code from omarshahine/apple-pim. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,562 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of xcode-build-fixer, MIT.

A procedure for applying approved changes intended to make Xcode builds faster, then measuring the result. Xcode is Apple's development tool for its apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Implementing approved build-setting or source changes, adding safeguards to build scripts, rerunning benchmarks, and reporting the measured difference.
Why use it?
It prevents unapproved build changes and checks whether each change actually improves build time without causing a regression.

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-fixer 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/benchmark_builds.py), 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.

Xcode Build Fixer

Use this skill to implement approved build optimization changes and verify them with a benchmark.

Core Rules

  • Only apply changes that have explicit developer approval.
  • Apply one logical fix at a time so changes are reviewable and reversible.
  • Re-benchmark after applying changes to verify improvement.
  • Report exactly what changed, which files were touched, and the measured delta.
  • If a change produces no improvement or causes a regression, flag it immediately.

Inputs

The fixer expects one of:

  • An approved optimization plan at .build-benchmark/optimization-plan.md with checked approval boxes.
  • An explicit developer instruction describing the fix to apply (e.g., "set DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT to dwarf for Debug").

When working from an optimization plan, read the approval checklist and implement only the checked items.

Fix Categories

Build Settings

Change project.pbxproj values to match the recommendations in build-settings-best-practices.md.

Typical fixes:

  • Set DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf for Debug
  • Set SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE = singlefile for Debug
  • Enable COMPILATION_CACHE_ENABLE_CACHING = YES
  • Enable EAGER_LINKING = YES for Debug
  • Align cross-target settings to eliminate module variants

When editing project.pbxproj, locate the correct buildSettings block by matching the target name and configuration name. Verify the change with xcodebuild -showBuildSettings after applying.

Script Phases

Fix run script phases that waste time during incremental or debug builds.

Typical fixes:

  • Add input and output file declarations so Xcode can skip unchanged scripts.
  • Add configuration guards: [[ "$CONFIGURATION" != "Release" ]] && exit 0 for release-only scripts.
  • Move input/output lists into .xcfilelist files when the list is long.
  • Enable Based on dependency analysis when inputs and outputs are declared.

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.
