xcodebuildmcp-runtime-boundary-review is a skill that reviews XcodeBuildMCP runtime routing across MCP, CLI, daemon, and Xcode IDE bridge paths.

About

This skill reviews XcodeBuildMCP runtime boundary changes across MCP, direct CLI invocation, daemon-routed tools, and the Xcode IDE bridge. It enforces guardrails such as MCP, CLI, and daemon paths using shared handlers and stateful CLI tools routing through the daemon only when required. It is review-only unless implementation changes are explicitly requested.

  • Reviews XcodeBuildMCP runtime routing across MCP, CLI, daemon, and Xcode IDE bridge paths
  • Enforces shared handlers and daemon routing only when routing.stateful requires it
  • Flags silent fallbacks and parallel invocation paths

What it does

Review XcodeBuildMCP runtime routing and invocation boundaries for regressions.

Who is it for?

Keeping MCP, CLI, and daemon invocation paths on shared handlers with correct daemon routing.

Skip if: Editing product code, which it avoids unless explicitly requested.

When should I use this skill?

When reviewing XcodeBuildMCP runtime boundary, CLI, daemon, or Xcode IDE bridge routing changes.

What you get

Runtime routing changes are verified to share handlers and avoid parallel paths.

XcodeBuildMCP Runtime Boundary Review

Review guardrails for runtime routing and invocation boundaries.

Review scope

  • Review-only by default.
  • Do not edit product code unless the user explicitly requests implementation changes.

Guardrails

  • MCP, CLI, and daemon paths use shared handlers.
  • Stateful CLI tools route through daemon only when routing.stateful requires it.
  • Do not treat daemon as a third manifest availability mode.
  • Dynamic Xcode IDE tools keep daemon routing semantics.
  • Catalog filtering respects availability, workflow selection, and predicates.
  • Runtime failures surface via runtime/rendering status and fragments.
  • Avoid silent fallbacks and parallel invocation paths.

Validation

  • npm test -- src/runtime/__tests__/tool-invoker.test.ts
  • npm run typecheck
  • npx skill-check .agents/skills/xcodebuildmcp-runtime-boundary-review
