xcode-compilation-analyzer

xcode-compilation-analyzer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from omarshahine/apple-pim. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,080 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of xcode-compilation-analyzer, MIT.

A guide for finding slow Swift or mixed-language compilation in Xcode using build timing summaries and Swift compiler diagnostics. It ranks source-level optimisation ideas by their likely effect on actual build waiting time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when clean or incremental Xcode builds, Swift type checking, module emission, or CompileSwiftSources tasks take too long.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a true serial build bottleneck from compiler work that runs in parallel and may only reduce total workload. It also keeps investigation changes separate from project edits until the developer approves them.

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-compilation-analyzer 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/diagnose_compilation.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 Compilation Analyzer

Use this skill when compile time, not just general project configuration, looks like the bottleneck.

Core Rules

  • Start from evidence, ideally a recent .build-benchmark/ artifact or raw timing-summary output.
  • Prefer analysis-only compiler flags over persistent project edits during investigation.
  • Rank findings by expected wall-clock impact, not cumulative compile-time impact. When compile tasks are heavily parallelized (sum of compile categories >> wall-clock median), note that fixing individual hotspots may improve parallel efficiency without reducing build wait time.
  • When the evidence points to parallelized work rather than serial bottlenecks, label recommendations as "Reduces compiler workload (parallel)" rather than "Reduces build time."
  • Do not edit source or build settings without explicit developer approval.

What To Inspect

  • Build Timing Summary output from clean and incremental builds
  • long-running CompileSwiftSources or per-file compilation tasks
  • SwiftEmitModule time -- can reach 60s+ after a single-line change in large modules; if it dominates incremental builds, the module is likely too large or macro-heavy
  • Planning Swift module time -- if this category is disproportionately large in incremental builds (up to 30s per module), it signals unexpected input invalidation or macro-related rebuild cascading
  • ad hoc runs with:
    • -Xfrontend -warn-long-expression-type-checking=<ms>
    • -Xfrontend -warn-long-function-bodies=<ms>
  • deeper diagnostic flags for thorough investigation:
    • -Xfrontend -debug-time-compilation -- per-file compile times to rank the slowest files
    • -Xfrontend -debug-time-function-bodies -- per-function compile times (unfiltered, complements the threshold-based warning flags)
    • -Xswiftc -driver-time-compilation -- driver-level timing to isolate driver overhead
    • -Xfrontend -stats-output-dir <path> -- detailed compiler statistics (JSON) per compilation unit for root-cause analysis
  • mixed Swift and Objective-C surfaces that increase bridging 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.
