Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: www.apple.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automate the building of macOS applications. It handles compiling Swift and Objective-C code, managing dependencies using Xcode's package manager (Swift Package Manager), and creating distributable .app bundles. The agent can be instructed to build specific targets within a project or the entire application.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive builds after code changes for developers.
  • Creating demo applications from source code provided by external parties.
  • Building macOS apps as part of an automated deployment pipeline.
  • Generating distributable app bundles for testing or distribution purposes.

Key capabilities

  • Swift and Objective-C compilation
  • Xcode Package Manager (Swift Package Manager) dependency management
  • Targeted build execution within Xcode projects
  • Creation of .app bundles

Example prompts

  • "Build the 'MyApplication' target in this Xcode project."
  • "Compile and create a distributable app bundle for the provided Swift code."
  • “Run xcodebuild on this repository to build the application.”

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires access to an Xcode installation.
  • The agent needs appropriate permissions to access and modify the project files.
