Check and sync this repo's skills/ against the Claude plugin exported by an installed Xcode build (e.g. 27B52). Use when a new Xcode/beta is installed, or asked to check, compare, update, or sync the Xcode skills.

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

# Sync Xcode skills

Source of truth is the **plugin Xcode exports for the Claude agent**, not other copies. Script checks, first found wins:

```
# 27B52+: dir Xcode passes to its agent as --plugin-dir; no .mcp.json (MCP via --mcp-config)
$(getconf DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR)com.apple.dt.IDEIntelligenceAgents/plugins/<build>/xcode-integration/
# older builds
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ExportedPlugins/<build>/claude/   # + .mcp.json
  .claude-plugin/plugin.json   # name: xcode-integration
  skills/<skill>/...
```

Tmp dirs of older builds get emptied by Xcode — only the current build is reliable there. If unsure where the plugin lives: `pgrep -lf "XcodeVersions/.*/claude"` and read its `--plugin-dir`.

Ignore `~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/codex/skills/__xcode` (stale, e.g. still has `uikit-app-modernization`) and the flattened `*.packaged` / `*.idechatprompttemplate` files inside Xcode.app.

## Steps

1. Check (build defaults to `xcodebuild -version` of the selected Xcode; pass `--build` for another):
   ```bash
   python3 .claude/skills/sync-xcode-skills/scripts/check.py [--build 27B52]
   ```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add artemnovichkov/xcode-skills/sync-xcode-skills@sha256:1286e9dbc70f4487

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.4eff5d1, 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.
