This Skill ensures that after you create any Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, or header file inside a directory containing an .xcodeproj, you must run a special script to register it with the project. Without this step, the file will not appear in Xcode or compile.
Run the post-file creation command to register your new file with the Xcode project, replacing <filepath> with your actual file path: ruby ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/add-to-xcode/scripts/add_to_xcode.rb <filepath>

Register new source files by running the add_to_xcode.rb Ruby script with your file path. The script updates the .xcodeproj to include Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, or header files in the navigator and build system, ensuring they compile without manual project configuration.
Yes, newly created source files won't appear in Xcode's navigator or compile unless registered. This Skill automates that registration step using a Ruby script that updates your project, eliminating manual addition for .swift, .m, .mm, .c, .cpp, and .h files.
The registration process supports .swift, .m (Objective-C), .mm (Objective-C++), .c (C), .cpp (C++), and .h (header) files. All source file types common in iOS and macOS development are covered by the xcodeproj update mechanism.
Yes, the Ruby-based registration script works for both iOS and macOS projects containing .xcodeproj bundles. It applies the same xcodeproj gem-driven update across both platform workflows.
You need Ruby runtime and the xcodeproj Ruby gem installed on your system. The add_to_xcode.rb script invokes xcodeproj to modify your project file, so both must be available in your development environment.
Xcode projects store file references in the .xcodeproj bundle's build configuration. Creating a file on disk doesn't update this configuration automatically, so the file remains invisible to Xcode until the project structure is explicitly updated via tooling like xcodeproj.
