iOS Dev (xcodebuildmcp workflow)

What it does

The iOS Dev skill documents a simulator-first, repeatable workflow for building, testing, and debugging iOS apps using the xcodebuildmcp CLI. It standardizes discovery commands, configuration, build/test/run steps, failure triage loops, and device workflows, and prescribes what logs and outputs an agent should capture and report.

When to use it

Use this skill when an agent needs to: (1) perform day-to-day iOS development tasks, (2) diagnose build or test failures, (3) capture runtime crashes and simulator logs for triage, or (4) run iterative fix-and-verify loops on simulator or device. It’s aimed at agents operating in macOS environments with the xcodebuildmcp tooling available.

What's included

• Scripts: none included in the detected skill directory (has_scripts=false)
• References: none detected (has_references=false)
• Instructions: detailed CLI examples for discovery, build, test, build-and-run, log capture, UI snapshots, device flows, LLDB attach patterns, and a strict output contract (failure class, key logs, fix applied, verification).

Compatible agents

Best for agents that can run local CLI commands on macOS hosts (Codex/Copilot automation, custom agent runners with shell access). The skill expects the xcodebuildmcp CLI to be installed and available. It includes guardrails around destructive commands and prescriptive reporting requirements.
