What it does
Init Xcode App is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. Scaffold a standalone SwiftUI app via XcodeGen — pick macOS, iOS, or iOS+watchOS; ships house conventions, a Swift Testing target, swiftformat/swiftlint, optional CloudKit/CI/Release/Push modules, and optional JTBD product context. Use to "init an xcode project", "scaffold a swiftui app", "new mac/ios app".
Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 65 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `assets/core/common/AGENTS.md`, `assets/core/common/CLAUDE.md` and `assets/core/common/CONTRIBUTING.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with Xcode, iOS, SwiftUI and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Init an xcode project
- Scaffold a swiftui app
- New mac/ios app
Example prompts
- “init an xcode project”
- “scaffold a swiftui app”
- “new mac/ios app”
- “/init-xcode-app”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Swift, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
xcodebuildgitbrew
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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
Init Xcode App loads about 860 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- init-xcode-app
- description
- Scaffold a standalone SwiftUI app via XcodeGen — pick macOS, iOS, or iOS+watchOS; ships house conventions, a Swift Testing target, swiftformat/swiftlint, optional CloudKit/CI/Release/Push modules, and optional JTBD product context. Use to "init an xcode project", "scaffold a swiftui app", "new mac/ios app".
init-xcode-app
Scaffolds a native SwiftUI app with XcodeGen (project.yml → generated, committed .xcodeproj),
pre-loaded with the conventions and loop-closer toolchain (xcsift, the Xcode MCP, swiftformat/lint).
The lighter native sibling of init-tauri-app.
When to use
- "init an xcode project", "scaffold a swiftui app", "new macOS/iOS app".
Prerequisites (verify before scaffolding)
xcodegenon PATH (xcodegen --version;brew install xcodegenif missing).- Xcode + CLT (
xcodebuild -version).
Procedure
1. Gather inputs (AskUserQuestion)
- App name (PascalCase, e.g.
Tidepool) →<Name>; lowercase →<name>. - Bundle-id prefix (default
com.glebkalinin) →<bundlePrefix>. - DEVELOPMENT_TEAM (optional — blank allowed) →
<TEAM>. - Target shape:
ios|macos|ios-watchos. - Modules (multi-select): CloudKit · CI · Release · Push.
- JTBD artifact (optional): path to a
jtbd.json(else auto-discover./jtbd.json,~/jtbd/<name>/jtbd.json). See 1.5. - Target directory (default
~/ai_projects/<name>). Abort if non-empty.
1.5 Ingest JTBD (optional, additive)
Identical contract to init-tauri-app: resolve (explicit → ./jtbd.json → ~/jtbd/<name>/jtbd.json),
confirm via hook, validate (render-jtbd.sh exits 3 → skip), pre-fill name. Artifacts written in Step 3.
2. Render core
Copy assets/core/common/* into the project (renames: gitignore→.gitignore, swiftformat→.swiftformat,
CLAUDE.md→.claude/CLAUDE.md). Copy assets/core/shapes/<shape>/* into the project root. For macos,
also copy assets/core/shapes/ios/Sources + Tests (macos reuses the same SwiftUI sources). Substitute
<Name>/<name>/<bundlePrefix>/<TEAM> in every copied file. Blank <TEAM> → leave the placeholder line
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM: "".
If a JTBD artifact was confirmed: render assets/jtbd/PRODUCT.md.template→docs/PRODUCT.md,
guardrails-check.md.template→docs/internal/guardrails-check.md, insert
agents-product-section.md.template into AGENTS.md after the first heading, copy the artifact to
project-root jtbd.json. See assets/jtbd/jtbd-map.md.
3. Compose selected modules
For each selected module open assets/modules/<m>/INSERT.md and follow it: it lists source files to copy
and a project-fragment.yml to merge into project.yml (merge into the existing targets.<Name> and
entitlements: maps — never overwrite). CloudKit + Push both extend the same entitlements: map.
4. Generate + verify (the gate)
xcodegen generateThen the unsigned build gate by shape:
- ios / ios-watchos:
xcodebuild build -scheme <Name> -destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' - macos:
xcodebuild build -scheme <Name> -destination 'platform=macOS' CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO
Then xcodebuild test against the same destination for the test target. Both must pass.
5. Handoff
Offer git init && git add -A && git commit. Print summary: shape, modules, signing note
(device/release signing is a human step), next command (open <Name>.xcodeproj).

Can I use Init Xcode App 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 glebis/claude-skills --skill init-xcode-app -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others).

What does Init Xcode App need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Init Xcode App needs Swift for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (xcodebuild, git and brew).
Does Init Xcode App access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Init Xcode App safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Init Xcode App use?
Init Xcode App is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Init Xcode App use?
About 860 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
