Xcode Makefiles

SkillAI & models

Install strict Xcode Makefile tooling for iOS/macOS projects, including build/run/test scripts with AGENT_NAME-based per-agent isolation under build/. Use when a project needs reproducible local CLI builds without full app scaffolding.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Xcode Makefiles skill

Overview

Paul Solt Paul@SuperEasyApps.com Version: 0.9.8

Install a focused Makefile + scripts toolkit into an existing or newly scaffolded Xcode project.

Canonical conventions:

  • AGENT_NAME is the only agent env var.
  • Per-agent paths live under build/:
    • build/DerivedData/<AGENT_NAME>
    • build/logs/<AGENT_NAME>
    • build/cache/<AGENT_NAME>
    • build/tmp/<AGENT_NAME>
