kendex: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/xcode-run/SKILL.md

xcode-run is a skill for Claude Code from vanillagreencom/kendex. It costs 28 tokens per session (806 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A skill that installs or dispatches a GitHub Actions workflow for building, testing, or taking simulator screenshots from an Xcode project. GitHub Actions is GitHub's service for running automated jobs in response to repository events or manual requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add the workflow, configure an Xcode scheme and simulator destination, and dispatch macOS builds, tests, or screenshot runs.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable remote run for Apple project checks without requiring every run to be performed manually on a developer's machine.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is vanillagreencom/kendex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kendex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kendex configures →

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 C, and why

xcode-run scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 21d ago.

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

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Instructions

Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.

Xcode run

Install this skill in project scope and consent to its repository effects. kendex runs scripts/install.sh to add templates/mac-run.yml as .github/workflows/mac-run.yml. The installer preserves an existing workflow. Commit the workflow to the default branch so GitHub can dispatch it.

Consumer configuration

Edit the top-level env values in .github/workflows/mac-run.yml:

Value Meaning
XCODE_SCHEME A shared Xcode scheme. Replace the App placeholder.
XCODE_DESTINATION An Xcode destination available on macos-latest. Replace the example with a simulator supported by the selected Xcode. Screenshots require a concrete simulator, not a generic destination.

The workflow runs xcodebuild from the repository root. A workspace, multiple projects or a project in a subdirectory needs the corresponding path or working directory in the installed workflow. The screenshot scheme must build one simulator application target. The workflow reads its app path and simulator identifier from xcodebuild -showBuildSettings -json. It reads the bundle identifier from the built app's Info.plist.

Dispatch

workflow_dispatch is the only trigger. Its only input is step:

step Operation
build xcodebuild build. This is the default.
test xcodebuild test. The scheme must have a test action.
screenshots Boot the selected simulator, build, install and launch the app, then capture screenshots/launch.png.
gh workflow run mac-run.yml -f step=build
gh workflow run mac-run.yml -f step=test
gh workflow run mac-run.yml -f step=screenshots

Screenshots capture the launch view after a short wait. They do not navigate the app or assert that its UI is ready.

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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-run is a skill published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (87 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 806 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-02.
