SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Developers need a reliable, policy‑driven workflow to build, run, and manage Swift packages without unintentionally invoking Xcode‑managed behavior or test‑focused paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SwiftPM‑first execution: Detects repository shape, validates Package.swift, and plans appropriate swift build or swift run commands.
  • Mixed‑root handling: Automatically hands off to Xcode‑aware workflows when Xcode project markers are present, unless explicitly opted‑in.
  • Resource & Metal support: Provides guidance for package resources, Bundle.module, and Metal artifact packaging, integrating with reference docs for accurate implementation.
  • Customization control: Allows per‑skill configuration via a lightweight YAML config, while preserving a fixed SwiftPM‑first policy.

Quick Start

Invoke the swift‑package‑build‑run‑workflow skill with a request to build the package in the current directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build and run a Swift package using SwiftPM commands?

To build and run a Swift package, invoke this workflow to validate `Package.swift` and plan the appropriate `swift build` or `swift run` commands. It enforces a SwiftPM-first policy, ensuring execution stays within the Swift Package Manager ecosystem.

How does SwiftPM handle resources and Metal shader packaging?

SwiftPM handles resources and Metal packaging by providing guidance for utilizing `Bundle.module` and structuring Metal artifacts within the package manifest. This workflow integrates reference documentation to ensure accurate implementation of these resource components.

Does SwiftPM execution work in a repository with Xcode project markers?

SwiftPM execution works in mixed-root repositories containing Xcode markers by automatically handing off to Xcode-aware workflows. This default behavior can be overridden by explicitly opting in to SwiftPM-first execution via configuration flags.

Why does my Swift package build trigger Xcode-managed behavior?

Your Swift package build triggers Xcode-managed behavior because the workflow detects Xcode project markers in the repository root and automatically hands off execution. To prevent this and maintain SwiftPM-first execution, you must explicitly opt-in using mixed-root flags.

Can I use a YAML config to customize SwiftPM build policies?

You can use a lightweight YAML configuration file to customize per-skill build policies. This configuration allows specific overrides while preserving the fixed SwiftPM-first execution policy for validating and running your Swift package.
