Audit and enable security-oriented Xcode build settings. Progressively enables compiler warnings, static analyzer checkers, and Enhanced Security features. Use when: user wants to secure their Xcode project, audit security settings, enable hardening, review security posture of build configuration, set up security-focused static analysis, enable static analysis, improve warning coverage, harden diagnostics, or catch more bugs at compile time in C/C++/Objective-C/Swift.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Audit Xcode Security Settings

Assess an Xcode project's security posture and progressively enable security build settings and entitlements — from broadly applicable warnings through Enhanced Security hardening.

## Tool Preferences

When XcodeGlob, XcodeGrep, XcodeRead, XcodeLS, and XcodeUpdate tools are available, ALWAYS use them. Do not fall back to Bash filesystem tools (`ls`, `find`, `cat`, `grep`) to learn about the project. They trigger extra permission prompts and bypass project scoping.

**Tool names may carry an MCP server prefix.** These tools are hosted by an MCP server whose name varies by environment (`xcode-mcp`, `xcode-tools`, `xcode`, etc.), so their fully qualified names look like `mcp__<server>__XcodeGlob`. Some harnesses register short aliases (just `XcodeGlob`); others only expose the prefixed form. Do not hardcode a specific server name. On the first call, use whichever form the available-tool registry advertises — look up the prefix once, then reuse it for the rest of the session. If a short-name call fails with an unknown-tool error, do not guess at the prefix: look it up in the registry and retry with the full name.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add artemnovichkov/xcode-skills/audit-xcode-security-settings@sha256:96bb69548c26e3d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.9b8428c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
