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 | $0.00077 | $0.02562 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01281 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00512 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00256 |
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.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to xcode-build-fixer — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 219 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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.mdwith checked approval boxes. - An explicit developer instruction describing the fix to apply (e.g., "set
DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMATtodwarffor 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 = dwarffor Debug - Set
SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE = singlefilefor Debug - Enable
COMPILATION_CACHE_ENABLE_CACHING = YES - Enable
EAGER_LINKING = YESfor 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 0for release-only scripts. - Move input/output lists into
.xcfilelistfiles when the list is long. - Enable
Based on dependency analysiswhen inputs and outputs are declared.
Source-Level Compilation Fixes
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

xcode-build-fixer is a skill published in the GitHub repository omarshahine/apple-pim (51 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,562 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to xcode-build-fixer, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
