SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of verifying that individual Swift packages within a modular project compile correctly, including their test targets, without needing to build the entire application.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Compilation: Builds a specific Swift package in isolation to catch dependency or syntax errors early.
  • Test Verification: Ensures that test targets for a specific module are valid and compile-ready.
  • Use Case: When refactoring a core domain module, use this Skill to confirm that your changes haven't broken the module's internal logic or its associated test suite before integrating it into the main app.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to build the Swift package for testing located at the path Features/Explore.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a specific Swift package and its test targets in isolation?▼

You can build a specific Swift package in isolation by targeting its directory path within the repository. This verifies compilation integrity and ensures the module's test targets are valid without building the entire application.

Why should I verify Swift package compilation for individual modules instead of the whole project?▼

Verifying individual Swift packages catches dependency or syntax errors early during refactoring. It confirms that changes to a core domain module haven't broken internal logic or associated test suites before main app integration.

Do I need a Swift toolchain to verify modular Swift package builds?▼

Yes, the Swift toolchain is required to execute build commands. It compiles the modular Swift projects and performs the mandatory cleanup of build artifacts after testing.

What is the best way to check if a Swift package test target compiles after refactoring?▼

The best way is building the specific Swift package directory in isolation. This verifies the test targets are compile-ready and confirms your refactoring hasn't broken the module's test suite.

How do I clean up build artifacts after testing a modular Swift package?▼

Mandatory cleanup of build artifacts is performed after executing the Swift build commands. This ensures your repository remains clean once the package and its test targets finish compiling.
