swiftpm-macos builds, runs, and tests SwiftPM macOS packages from Package.swift.
About
The swiftpm-macos skill handles package-first macOS repositories where Package.swift is the main entrypoint or faster than opening Xcode. It reads Package.swift to identify executable, library, and test products, runs swift build by default and release mode only on request, and uses swift run for executables explaining defaults when multiple exist. Testing uses swift test with optional filters for specific targets or cases. Failures are summarized as module resolution, package graph, linker, runtime, or test regression blockers. Guardrails prefer SwiftPM when simpler than Xcode, avoid assuming app bundles in pure packages, and note library-only products are not directly runnable. Output reports discovered products, commands run, success state, and top blocker. Pair with build-run-debug when GUI apps need .app bundle staging.
- Inspects Package.swift products and targets.
- Runs swift build, swift run, and swift test workflows.
- Explains default executable choice among multiple products.
- Summarizes package graph, linker, and test failures.
- Notes library-only packages are not directly runnable.

How do I build and test a SwiftPM macOS package?
Build, run, and test SwiftPM macOS packages when Package.swift is the primary entrypoint.
Who is it for?
Developers on package-first macOS repos without Xcode projects.
Skip if: Skip when .xcworkspace is clearly the simpler path.
When should I use this skill?
Repo is package-first or has no Xcode project.
What you get
Successful build, run, or test result with product list or blocker.
Files
SwiftPM for macOS
Quick Start
Use this skill when Package.swift is the primary entrypoint or when SwiftPM is the fastest path to a reproducible result.
Workflow
1. Inspect the package.
- Read
Package.swift. - Identify executable, library, and test products.
2. Build with SwiftPM.
- Use
swift buildby default. - Use release mode only when the user explicitly needs it.
3. Run the right product.
- Use
swift run <product>when an executable exists. - If multiple executables exist, explain the default choice.
4. Test narrowly.
- Use
swift test. - Apply filters when a specific test target or case is known.
5. Summarize failures.
- Module/import resolution
- Package graph or dependency issue
- Linker failure
- Runtime failure
- Test regression
Guardrails
- Prefer SwiftPM over Xcode when both exist and the package path is clearly simpler.
- Do not assume an app bundle exists in a pure package workflow.
- Explain when the package is library-only and therefore not directly runnable.
Output Expectations
Provide:
- the package products you found
- the command you ran
- whether build, run, or test succeeded
- the top blocker if not
interface:
display_name: "SwiftPM macOS"
short_description: "Build, run, and test macOS Swift packages"
default_prompt: "Use $swiftpm-macos to inspect the package graph, build the package, run executable products, and explain SwiftPM-specific failures clearly."
