Drive Xcode and the iOS/macOS toolchain through two complementary surfaces: the live-IDE bridge (xcode-cli + MCP tools, talks to an open Xcode workspace via SourceKit and AppleScript) and the standalone CLI (xcodebuild + xcrun simctl, runs headless). Use whenever the user wants to build, run, or test an Xcode project, see compiler errors, fix Swift code, render a SwiftUI preview, look up an Apple API, manage iOS simulators (boot, install, screenshot, log capture), send push notifications or deep links to a simulator, build a release archive, or do anything that needs Xcode's project context or the iOS Simulator. Trigger on direct mentions — Xcode, xcode-cli, xcodebuild, xcrun, simctl, SwiftUI, iOS app, macOS app, Swift Package, .xcodeproj, .xcworkspace, scheme, simulator, UDID, #Preview — and on indirect cues: "build my app", "what's broken", "fix the build", "run tests in MyTarget", "render this SwiftUI view", "boot a simulator", "install on iPhone 16 Pro", "take a screenshot of the simulator", "stream logs

# Xcode Two complementary surfaces: 1. **Bridge** — `xcode-cli` + MCP tools talking to a live, open Xcode workspace via SourceKit and AppleScript. Sees indexed symbols, navigator issues, the last build's diagnostics, project group membership. Required when you need live IDE state. 2. **CLI** — `xcodebuild` + `xcrun simctl`, standalone Xcode command-line tools. Run headless, no IDE required. Required for simulator lifecycle, screenshots, log streaming, archives, headless builds, and anything scriptable. Most non-trivial sessions touch both. Pick per operation. ## When to use **Bridge territory:** - Build / Run / Test the project currently open in Xcode - Diagnose compile, type, or link errors - Inspect symbols, files, or directories as Xcode sees them - Edit Swift / Objective-C / resource files inside the project group (membership stays correct) - Render a SwiftUI `#Preview` to a PNG - Execute a one-shot Swift expression in a file's type context - Search Apple's documentation indexed locally **CLI territory:** - Boot, shutdown, erase, or create iOS simulators - Build to a specific simulator UDID or OS version, headless or in CI - Install, launch, terminate apps on a simulator - Take screenshots, record video, stream app logs - Send push notifications, set location, override status bar, grant privacy permissions - Open URLs / deep links in the simulator - Build archives and export IPAs for distribution **Do NOT use for:** - Generating Swift code with no project to anchor
