What it does

Limrun Xcode Bazel is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Build a Bazel-based iOS / macOS / Apple app on Limrun's remote build execution (RBE) instead of a local Mac, and install it on a remote iOS simulator. Use when the project is a Bazel workspace (MODULE.bazel / WORKSPACE) building rulesapple / rulesswift targets and the user wants to bazel build it or run it on a simulator, or when a --config=limrun build or install misbehaves. To then tap, type, screenshot, or otherwise interact with the running app, use limrun-ios-simulator. For non-Bazel (plain xcodebuild)…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/project-compatibility.md`, `references/verify-remote.md` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with Xcode, iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The project is a Bazel workspace (MODULE.bazel / WORKSPACE) building rulesapple / rulesswift targets and the user wants to bazel build it
  • Run it on a simulator
  • A --config=limrun build
  • Install misbehaves

Example prompts

  • “/limrun-xcode-bazel”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in LIM_API_KEY

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. From the Bazel workspace root (has MODULE.bazel / WORKSPACE), run
  2. Run the printed command, e.g.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • console.limrun.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LIM_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Limrun Xcode Bazel loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 916 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 916 words (~1,820 tokens).

“Build Bazel Apple projects on Limrun's remote Mac workers — from any environment (Linux, Windows, macOS, VM, container), no local Xcode. lim xcode rbe brings up a remote RBE stack, tunnels it to a local port, and writes a .limrun/…”
