At a glance

Audit Xcode project configuration, build settings, scheme behavior, and script phases to find build-time improvements with explicit approval gates.

  • A developer wants project-level build analysis
  • SKILL.md covers Core Rules, What To Review, Build Settings Best Practices… and Apple-Derived Checks, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Slow incremental builds

What it does

Xcode Project Analyzer is an agent skill from omarshahine/HomeClaw. Audit Xcode project configuration, build settings, scheme behavior, and script phases to find build-time improvements with explicit approval gates. Use when a developer wants project-level build analysis, slow incremental builds, guidance on target dependencies, build settings review, run script phase analysis, parallelization improvements, or module-map and DEFINESMODULE configuration.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/build-optimization-sources.md`, `references/build-settings-best-practices.md` and `references/project-audit-checks.md`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with Xcode. The repository describes itself as: HomeKit smart home control via MCP — lights, locks, thermostats, and scenes for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A developer wants project-level build analysis
  • Slow incremental builds
  • Guidance on target dependencies
  • Build settings review

Example prompts

  • “/xcode-project-analyzer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da69700. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Xcode Project Analyzer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.2k

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.

Audit Xcode project configuration, build settings, scheme behavior, and script phases to find build-time improvements with explicit approval gates. Use when a developer wants project-level build analysis, slow incremental builds, guidance on target dependencies, build settings review, run script phase analysis, parallelization improvements, or module-map and DEFINES_MODULE configuration.

Xcode Project Analyzer

Use this skill for project- and target-level build inefficiencies that are unlikely to be solved by source edits alone.

Core Rules

  • Recommendation-first by default.
  • Require explicit approval before changing project files, schemes, or build settings.
  • Prefer measured findings tied to timing summaries, build logs, or project configuration evidence.
  • Distinguish debug-only pain from release-only pain.

What To Review

  • scheme build order and target dependencies
  • debug vs release build settings against the build settings best practices
  • run script phases and dependency-analysis settings
  • derived-data churn or obviously invalidating custom steps
  • opportunities for parallelization
  • explicit module dependency settings and module-map readiness
  • "Planning Swift module" time in the Build Timing Summary -- if it dominates incremental builds, suspect unexpected input modification or macro-related invalidation
  • asset catalog compilation time, especially in targets with large or numerous catalogs
  • ExtractAppIntentsMetadata time in the Build Timing Summary -- if this phase consumes significant time, record it as xcode-behavior (report the cost and impact, but do not suggest a repo-local optimization unless there is explicit Apple guidance)
  • zero-change build overhead -- if a no-op rebuild exceeds a few seconds, investigate fixed-cost phases (script execution, codesign, validation, CopySwiftLibs)
  • CocoaPods usage -- if a Podfile or Pods.xcodeproj exists, CocoaPods is deprecated; recommend migrating to SPM and do not attempt CocoaPods-specific optimizations (see project-audit-checks.md)
  • Task Backtraces (Xcode 16.4+: Scheme Editor > Build > Build Debugging) to diagnose why tasks re-run unexpectedly in incremental builds

Build Settings Best Practices Audit

Every project audit should include a build settings checklist comparing the project's Debug and Release configurations against the recommended values in build-settings-best-practices.md. Present results using checkmark/cross indicators ([x]/[ ]). The scope is strictly build performance -- do not flag language-migration settings like SWIFT_STRICT_CONCURRENCY or SWIFT_UPCOMING_FEATURE_*.

Apple-Derived Checks

Review these items in every audit:

  • target dependencies are accurate and not missing or inflated
  • schemes build in Dependency Order
  • run scripts declare inputs and outputs
  • .xcfilelist files are used when scripts have many inputs or outputs
  • DEFINES_MODULE is enabled where custom frameworks or libraries should expose module maps
  • headers are self-contained enough for module-map use
  • explicit module dependency settings are consistent for targets that should share modules

Typical Wins

  • skip debug-time scripts that only matter in release
  • add missing script guards or dependency-analysis metadata
  • remove accidental serial bottlenecks in schemes
  • align build settings that cause unnecessary module variants
  • fix stale project structure that forces broader rebuilds than necessary
  • identify linters or formatters that touch file timestamps without changing content, silently invalidating build inputs and forcing module replanning
  • split large asset catalogs into separate resource bundles across targets to parallelize compilation
  • use Task Backtraces to pinpoint the exact input change that triggers unnecessary incremental work

Reporting Format

For each issue, include:

  • evidence
  • likely scope
  • why it affects clean builds, incremental builds, or both
  • estimated impact
  • approval requirement

If the evidence points to package graph or build plugins, hand off to spm-build-analysis by reading its SKILL.md and applying its workflow to the same project context.
