- Works in 2 steps: Basic configuration check → Full build validation

- Calls make, xcrun and dotnet; reaches dl.internalx.com
What it does
Macios Xcode Beta Update is an agent skill from dotnet/macios, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Update dotnet/macios to a new Xcode beta and validate it end-to-end. Use this skill when a user asks to bump Xcode beta versions, update macios SDK/version constants, run xtro-sharpie sanitization, and run introspection tests for iOS/tvOS/macOS/Mac Catalyst.
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 `evals/evals.json` and `references/session-pattern-notes.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with Xcode, .NET, iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: .NET for iOS, Mac Catalyst, macOS, and tvOS provide open-source bindings of the Apple SDKs for use with .NET managed languages such as C.
When your agent uses it
- A user asks to bump Xcode beta versions
- Update macios SDK/version constants
- Run xtro-sharpie sanitization
- Run introspection tests for iOS/tvOS/macOS/Mac Catalyst
Example prompts
- “/macios-xcode-beta-update”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Basic configuration check
- Full build validation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354c2a6. 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:
makexcrundotnet
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:
dl.internalx.com
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
Macios Xcode Beta Update loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 597 words (~1,790 tokens).
“Run this workflow from the macios repository root.”
