Xcode Makefiles

Overview

Version: 0.9.8

Install a focused Makefile + scripts toolkit into an existing or newly scaffolded Xcode project.

Canonical conventions:

  • AGENT_NAME is the only agent env var.
  • Per-agent paths live under build/:
  • build/DerivedData/<AGENT_NAME>
  • build/logs/<AGENT_NAME>
  • build/cache/<AGENT_NAME>
  • build/tmp/<AGENT_NAME>

Install

skills/xcode-makefiles/scripts/install.sh \
  --project-dir /path/to/project \
  --app-name WalkTrack \
  --platform ios

Common flags:

  • --project-dir PATH required
  • --mode install|upgrade default install
  • --dry-run preview changes only

Toolkit flags:

  • --app-name NAME required
  • --platform ios|macos required
  • --sim-name NAME optional, defaults to auto for iOS
  • --namespace NAME optional, installs Makefile.NAME and scripts/NAME/

Installed scripts include:

  • scripts/atomic_commit.sh
  • scripts/xcbuild.sh
  • scripts/resolve_agent_name.sh
  • scripts/resolve_sim_destination.sh
  • scripts/diagnose.sh
  • scripts/run_app_macos.sh
  • scripts/run_app_ios_sim.sh
  • scripts/clean.sh
  • scripts/move_to_trash.sh

Targets

Installed Make targets are intentionally minimal:

  • make diagnose
  • make build
  • make test
  • make run
  • make build-and-run
  • make build-and-run-background
  • make clean
  • make agent-verify

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take robertguss/xcode-makefiles from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
