What it does
Build Afm is an agent skill from scouzi1966/maclocal-api. Build and test maclocal-api/AFM reliably with Xcode 27 and MLX.
Its SKILL.md is about 320 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 iOS development. It works with Xcode and macOS. The repository describes itself as: 'afm' command cli: macOS server and single prompt mode that exposes Apple's Foundation and MLX Models and other APIs running on your Mac through a single aggregated…. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve iOS development
Example prompts
- “/build-afm”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 138ca5d. 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:
swift
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 Afm loads about 321 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 136 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.

Build AFM
Run commands from the maclocal-api repository root.
SwiftPM
Never invoke raw swift build or swift test. Always use:
Scripts/swiftpm-reliable.sh build -c release --product afm
Scripts/swiftpm-reliable.sh test -c releaseThe wrapper selects the known-good Xcode 27 SwiftPM driver, repairs stale
explicit-module state, resolves AFMKit's committed default.metallib, and
stages mlx.metallib for XCTest. Do not work around metallib failures with
one-off environment values.
Normal builds consume the immutable AFMKit revision and exact AFM-compatible
MLX tags. They do not compile or mutate vendor/mlx-swift-lm. Use
Scripts/check-afmkit-consumer-boundary.sh after dependency or packaging
changes. The legacy patch stack requires an explicit maintenance opt-in.
The comprehensive assertion harness must continue to delegate its Swift tests
to this wrapper. Local copied XCTest binaries also have a source-checkout
fallback in MLXMetalLibrary; packaged binaries must carry their resource
bundle or loose default.metallib beside the executable.
Performance
Use Release binaries for inference benchmarks. Never report Debug throughput.
