This is the official skill for wrapping Xcode's build toolchain through a unified CLI instead of juggling xcodebuild, xcrun, and simctl directly. It handles the usual iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS workflows: building, testing, running on simulators or devices, debugging, logs, and UI automation. The help-first design means you discover commands and arguments from the tool itself rather than docs, and it pushes you toward minimal execution paths like build-and-run instead of chaining separate steps. If you're doing Apple platform work with Claude and want cleaner command sequences than raw Xcode tooling, this gives you a single surface area to work with.
