Apple Platform Build Tools

Overview

A Claude Code plugin by Kyle Hughes for building, testing and archiving Swift packages and Xcode projects. It adds an agent skill with reference material on Apple's build tools, and a builder subagent that runs builds and reports back. Because the subagent handles the logs, your main agent's context stays clean.

Features

• Agent skill with reference tables for xcodebuild, swift, simctl, devicectl and other xcrun tools
• Builder subagent that discovers project structure and constructs the right commands
• Reports build and test results without dumping full logs into the main conversation
• Both parts can be triggered automatically or asked for by name

Requirements

• Claude Code

Install

1. Add the marketplace and install the plugin

   /plugin marketplace add kylehughes/apple-platform-build-tools-claude-code-plugin
   /plugin install apple-platform-build-tools@apple-platform-build-tools-claude-code-plugin

2. Or enable it for a whole team in .claude/settings.json, or copy the files from the skills and agents folders by hand

Example

Ask Claude Code to have the builder subagent run your test suite; it returns a short pass or fail summary instead of the full xcodebuild output.
