What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by camillescholtz/swmpc in .agents/skills/xcode-control/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Control the running Xcode session directly via AppleScript. This acts as a drop-in replacement for the Xcode MCP tool service, executing builds and actions inside the live Xcode environment without requiring xcrun mcpbridge.
Helper Script
Run commands using .agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh:
# Check running workspace and active scheme
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh status
# List schemes
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh schemes
# Switch active scheme (swmpc, widget, MPDKit, Shared)
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh scheme widget
# Build active scheme (or pass scheme name)
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh build swmpc
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh build widget
# Inspect build logs or errors
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh logs --errors
# Clean or Run
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh clean
.agents/skills/xcode-control/scripts/xcode.sh run
When to Use
- When Xcode is running with
swmpc.xcodeprojopen. - When building or verifying the
widgetorswmpcschemes without dealing with headless compiler/dependency mismatch issues. - When checking Xcode diagnostics and build logs after making code changes.
