Overview

A set of six agent skills for benchmarking and speeding up Xcode builds. An orchestrator skill benchmarks clean and incremental builds, audits settings, finds compile hotspots and writes an optimisation plan. It recommends changes first and makes no project changes until you approve them.

Features

  • Repeatable clean and incremental build benchmarks
  • Swift compile hotspot analysis
  • Audits build settings, schemes, script phases and target dependencies
  • Reviews Swift Package Manager graphs and plugin overhead
  • Over 40 individual checks
  • Writes a plan to .build-benchmark/optimization-plan.md

Requirements

The source doesn't list any requirements, so check the project's own docs before you install.

Install

  1. Install all six skills (the orchestrator needs the others)

    npx skills add https://github.com/avdlee/xcode-build-optimization-agent-skill
  2. Or as a Claude Code plugin

    /plugin marketplace add AvdLee/Xcode-Build-Optimization-Agent-Skill
    /plugin install xcode-build-skills@xcode-build-skills

Example

Open your project in your AI coding tool and say: "Use the /xcode-build-orchestrator skill to analyze build performance and come up with a plan for improvements."
