What it does

Build Test Verify is an agent skill from bitwarden/ios, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build the project, run tests, lint, format, spell check, generate mocks, or verify the build passes for Bitwarden iOS. Use when asked to "build", "run tests", "lint", "format", "verify build", "check if it compiles", "run swiftlint", "run swiftformat", "generate mocks", or to execute any part of the build/test/verify pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: Bitwarden mobile apps (Password Manager and Authenticator) for iOS. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

Check if it compiles
Run swiftformat
Execute any part of the build/test/verify pipeline

Example prompts

“run tests”
“format”
“verify build”
“/build-test-verify”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6399b1d. 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:
- brew
- xcodebuild
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Build Test Verify loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k

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.

Build, Test, and Verify — Bitwarden iOS

Initial Setup

bash

brew bundle                  # Install Homebrew dependencies
./Scripts/bootstrap.sh       # Generate Xcode projects, install Mint packages, set up git hooks

Git hooks set up by bootstrap.sh:

post-checkout / post-merge — automatically re-run bootstrap.sh

Project Generation

.xcodeproj files are gitignored and must be generated before building:

bash

mint run xcodegen --spec project-pm.yml    # Password Manager
mint run xcodegen --spec project-bwa.yml   # Authenticator
mint run xcodegen --spec project-bwk.yml   # BitwardenKit
mint run xcodegen --spec project-bwth.yml  # Test Harness

Or run all at once via ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh.

Building

bash

./Scripts/build.sh project-pm.yml Bitwarden Simulator       # PM for simulator
./Scripts/build.sh project-bwa.yml Authenticator Simulator   # Authenticator for simulator
./Scripts/build.sh project-bwth.yml TestHarness Simulator    # Test Harness for simulator
./Scripts/build.sh project-pm.yml Bitwarden Device           # PM for device

Running Tests

Always read the simulator config files before running tests:

bash

DEVICE=$(tr -d '\n' < .test-simulator-device-name)
OS=$(tr -d '\n' < .test-simulator-ios-version)

Then run tests with:

bash

xcodebuild test \
  -workspace Bitwarden.xcworkspace \
  -scheme Bitwarden \
  -testPlan Bitwarden-Default \
  -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=$DEVICE,OS=$OS"

Current values (as of last update): device iPhone 17 Pro, OS 26.5. Do not hardcode these — always read from .test-simulator-device-name and .test-simulator-ios-version at runtime, as they change when the project upgrades its simulator target.

CI runs all -Default test plans on PRs to main, commits to main, and release branches. Test execution order is randomized (randomExecutionOrder: true).

Snapshot tests are currently disabled. Do not run or re-record them. If you encounter a snapshot test, prefix the function name with disable (e.g., disabletest_snapshot_defaultState).

Lint, Format, Spell Check

bash

mint run swiftlint                        # Lint (custom rules: todo_without_jira, weak_navigator, style_guide_font)
mint run swiftformat .                    # Auto-fix formatting (4-space indent, Swift 6.2)
mint run swiftformat --lint --lenient .   # Check formatting without fixing
typos                                     # Spell check

SwiftLint and SwiftFormat run automatically as post-compile scripts (configured in project-pm.yml).

Code Generation

Run automatically in pre-build phases; trigger manually when needed:

bash

# Mock generation — run from an Xcode build phase (BUILD_DIR is set automatically by Xcode)
# To run standalone, supply BUILD_DIR manually — see the script header for the one-liner
./Scripts/generate-mocks.sh BitwardenShared    # default if argument omitted
./Scripts/generate-mocks.sh AuthenticatorShared
./Scripts/generate-mocks.sh BitwardenKit

# Asset/localization code generation
mint run swiftgen config run --config swiftgen-bwr.yml   # BitwardenResources (most common)
mint run swiftgen config run --config swiftgen-pm.yml    # Password Manager
mint run swiftgen config run --config swiftgen-bwa.yml   # Authenticator
mint run swiftgen config run --config swiftgen-bwth.yml  # Test Harness

Tooling Reference

Tool	Config	Purpose
XcodeGen	`project-*.yml`	Generates `.xcodeproj` from YAML specs
Mint	`Mintfile`	Swift tool package manager
SwiftLint	`.swiftlint.yml`	Linting with custom rules
SwiftFormat	`.swiftformat`	Code formatting
Sourcery	`*/Sourcery/sourcery.yml`	Mock generation (`AutoMockable`)
SwiftGen	`swiftgen-*.yml`	Asset/localization code generation
typos	project config	Spell checking
Fastlane	`fastlane/Fastfile`	CI/CD automation

Common Failures

Problem	Cause	Fix
`.xcodeproj` not found	Files are gitignored	Run `./Scripts/bootstrap.sh`
`MockXxx` not found	Sourcery not run	Add `// sourcery: AutoMockable`, run Sourcery or build
Snapshot test runs	Snapshots are currently disabled	Prefix function name with `disable` (e.g., `disabletest_snapshot_defaultState`)
Extension crash on unlock	Argon2id KDF > 64 MB	Check `maxArgon2IdMemoryBeforeExtensionCrashing` in `Constants.swift`
SwiftLint TODO warning	Missing JIRA ticket	`// TODO: PM-12345 - description`

Debug Tips

Error reporting: ErrorReporter protocol + OSLogErrorReporter for development
Flight recorder: In-app logging for debugging production issues
SDK diagnostics: Xcode console errors prefixed BitwardenSdk
Network debugging: Set breakpoints in APIService implementations in Networking/
State debugging: print(subject.state) in processor tests to inspect state changes

Can I use Build Test Verify in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add bitwarden/ios --skill build-test-verify -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/build-test-verify, .gemini/skills/build-test-verify, .github/skills/build-test-verify and .opencode/skills/build-test-verify in your project.

What does Build Test Verify need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Build Test Verify needs the command-line tools its instructions call (brew and xcodebuild).
