Official skill for the XcodeBuildMCP CLI. An agent skill from c5inco/compose-pokedexer.

  • Works in 3 steps: Ensure the CLI Exists → Use Help-First Discovery → Keep Execution Minimal
  • Doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build
  • SKILL.md covers Step 1: Ensure the CLI Exists, Step 2: Use Help-First Discovery, Step 3: Keep Execution Minimal and Capability Overview, plus 1 more section
  • Calls brew and npm

What it does

Xcodebuildmcp CLI is an agent skill from c5inco/compose-pokedexer. Official skill for the XcodeBuildMCP CLI. Use when doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build, test, run, debug, log, UI automation).

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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 Mobile, covering Android development. It works with iOS, macOS, Jetpack Compose and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Pokedex app written in Compose, powered by PokeAPI.co. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build
  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “/xcodebuildmcp-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Ensure the CLI Exists
  2. Use Help-First Discovery
  3. Keep Execution Minimal

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2f8992. 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
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Xcodebuildmcp CLI loads about 415 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~415

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.

XcodeBuildMCP CLI

Use XcodeBuildMCP tools via the xcodebuildmcp executable instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.

Step 1: Ensure the CLI Exists

Check availability:

bash
xcodebuildmcp --help

If missing, install with one of:

bash
brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp
brew install xcodebuildmcp
bash
npm install -g xcodebuildmcp@latest

Re-check after install:

bash
xcodebuildmcp --help

Step 2: Use Help-First Discovery

Discover workflows and arguments from the CLI itself:

bash
xcodebuildmcp --help
xcodebuildmcp tools
xcodebuildmcp <workflow> --help
xcodebuildmcp <workflow> <tool> --help

Use this discovery path instead of memorizing static tool lists.

Step 3: Keep Execution Minimal

  • Choose the smallest command sequence that satisfies the request.
  • Prefer direct workflow commands over manual multi-step chains unless explicitly requested.
  • For simulator run intent, prefer the combined build-and-run command.
  • Do not chain build then build-and-run unless explicitly requested.

Capability Overview

xcodebuildmcp supports:

  • simulator and device build/test/run
  • debugging and log capture
  • UI automation
  • project discovery and scaffolding
  • session defaults and workflow configuration

Exit Criteria

  • CLI presence is verified or installation steps are provided.
  • Commands are discovered via --help / tools.
  • Session defaults are checked before first build/run/test action.
