xcode-workflows
Xcode build system guidance for xcodebuild operations. Use when building iOS projects, running tests, analyzing build failures, or configuring schemes. Covers build/clean/test operations, interpreting xcodebuild output, and troubleshooting common build errors.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "conorluddy/xclaude-plugin:skills/xcode-workflows" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Xcode Workflows Use the executexcodecommand MCP tool for all iOS build operations The xclaude-plugin provides the executexcodecommand MCP tool which consolidates all xcodebuild operations into a single, token-efficient dispatcher. ⚠️ CRITICAL: Always Use MCP Tools First This is the most important rule: When working with iOS builds, you MUST use the executexcodecommand MCP tool. ✅ DO: Invoke executexcodecommand for all build/test/clean operations ✅ DO: If the MCP tool fails, adjust parameters and retry ✅ DO: Read error messages and debug the parameters ❌ NEVER: Fall back to bash xcodebuild commands ❌ NEVER: Use xcodebuild directly in bash ❌ NEVER: Run xcrun xcodebuild in a terminal Why? The MCP tool provides: Structured error handling Token efficiency (consolidated into 1 tool vs.
