Xcode Build Skills
Shrink Xcode compile times on iOS and Apple platforms with six bundled skills for benchmarking, analysis, SPM review, orchestration, and applying fixes.
Overview
xcode-build-skills is a plugin marketplace for the Ship phase that bundles six agent skills to benchmark, analyze, and optimize Xcode, Swift, and SPM build performance.
What is this marketplace?
- Six Xcode build optimization skills in one plugin: benchmark, compilation analysis, project analysis, SPM build analysis
- Covers incremental vs clean builds, explicit modules, and project settings tuning
- Apple-platform tags: Xcode, Swift, iOS, macOS, SPM, benchmarking
- Orchestrator recommends changes first; separate fixer applies approved edits
- MIT-licensed v1.0.1 from Antoine van der Lee (AvdLee)
- 6 optimization skills in 1 plugin marketplace
- Marketplace and plugin version 1.0.1
- MIT license
Community signal: 1.1k GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Indie iOS and macOS developers lose hours to opaque Xcode compile bottlenecks and lack a repeatable agent workflow to measure, diagnose, and safely fix build settings.
Who is it for?
Solo Apple-platform builders with SPM-heavy projects who want agent-guided build profiling before a release crunch.
Skip if: Web-only stacks with no Xcode compile path, or teams that cannot allow automated project setting changes even with approval gates.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, you can run a six-skill pipeline—from benchmarks through orchestrated recommendations to approved fixes—to shorten incremental and clean build times with evidence.
- Benchmark and analysis reports for Xcode and SPM builds
- Prioritized optimization recommendations from the orchestrator skill
- Applied project or SPM adjustments via the fixer after explicit approval

Journey fit
Build-time performance is a ship gate for mobile apps—slow cycles block releases and drain solo-builder focus right before launch. Perf is the canonical shelf because every skill in the bundle targets compilation speed, incremental builds, and project or SPM hotspots.
How it compares
Multi-skill Xcode perf marketplace for Claude agents, not a generic Swift linter or App Store launch toolkit.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Xcode Build Skills for?
Claude Code users building Swift iOS or macOS apps who need structured help benchmarking and optimizing Xcode and SPM compile performance.
When should I use Xcode Build Skills?
Use it in ship perf when builds feel sluggish before a milestone—start with benchmarking and analysis skills, then let the orchestrator recommend and the fixer apply only approved changes.
How do I add Xcode Build Skills to my agent?
Add the AvdLee Xcode-Build-Optimization-Agent-Skill marketplace to Claude Code, install the Xcode Build Skills plugin (v1.0.1), open your Xcode project locally, and invoke skills in order from measure → analyze → recommend → fix.
