xcode-build-orchestrator

Orchestrate Xcode build optimization by benchmarking first, running the specialist analysis skills, prioritizing findings, requesting explicit approval, delegating approved fixes to xcode-build-fixer, and re-benchmarking after changes. Use when a developer wants an end-to-end build optimization workflow, asks to speed up Xcode builds, wants a full build audit, or needs a recommend-first optimization pass covering compilation, project settings, and packages.

# Xcode Build Orchestrator Use this skill as the recommend-first entrypoint for end-to-end Xcode build optimization work. ## Non-Negotiable Rules - Wall-clock build time (how long the developer waits) is the primary success metric. Every recommendation must state its expected impact on the developer's actual wait time. - Start in recommendation mode. - Benchmark before making changes. - Do not modify project files, source files, packages, or scripts without explicit developer approval. - Preserve the evidence trail for every recommendation. - Re-benchmark after approved changes and report the wall-clock delta. ## Two-Phase Workflow The orchestration is designed as two distinct phases separated by developer review. ### Phase 1 -- Analyze (recommend-only) Run this phase in agent mode because the agent needs to execute builds, run benchmark scripts, write benchmark artifacts, and generate the optimization report. However, treat Phase 1 as **recommend-only**: do not modify any project files, source files, packages, or build settings. The only files the agent creates during this phase are benchmark artifacts and the optimization plan inside `.build-benchmark/`. 1. Collect the build targ

About this skill
What does the xcode-build-orchestrator skill do?

Orchestrate Xcode build optimization by benchmarking first, running the specialist analysis skills, prioritizing findings, requesting explicit approval, delegating approved fixes to xcode-build-fixer, and re-benchmarking after changes. Use when a developer wants an end-to-end build optimization workflow, asks to speed up Xcode builds, wants a full build audit, or needs a recommend-first optimization pass covering compilation, project settings, and packages.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add AvdLee/Xcode-Build-Optimization-Agent-Skill --skill xcode-build-orchestrator --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From AvdLee/Xcode-Build-Optimization-Agent-Skill, a repository with 1,193 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
