Official skill for the MobileBuildMCP CLI. Use when doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build, test, run, debug, log, UI automation).
- Installs packages
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
Use MobileBuildMCP tools via the mobilebuildmcp executable instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.
- Distinctive: line 17
If missing, install with one of:
- Distinctive: line 42
Use this discovery path instead of memorizing static tool lists.
- Distinctive: line 47
Prefer direct workflow commands over manual multi-step chains unless explicitly requested.
- Very specific: line 49
Do not chain build then build-and-run unless explicitly requested.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

MobileBuildMCP CLI
Use MobileBuildMCP tools via the mobilebuildmcp executable instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.
Step 1: Ensure the CLI Exists
Check availability:
mobilebuildmcp --helpIf missing, install with one of:
brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp
brew install mobilebuildmcpnpm install -g mobilebuildmcp@latestRe-check after install:
mobilebuildmcp --helpStep 2: Use Help-First Discovery
Discover workflows and arguments from the CLI itself:
mobilebuildmcp --help
mobilebuildmcp tools
mobilebuildmcp <workflow> --help
mobilebuildmcp <workflow> <tool> --helpUse this discovery path instead of memorizing static tool lists.
Step 3: Keep Execution Minimal
- Choose the smallest command sequence that satisfies the request.
- Prefer direct workflow commands over manual multi-step chains unless explicitly requested.
- For simulator run intent, prefer the combined
build-and-runcommand. - Do not chain
buildthenbuild-and-rununless explicitly requested.
Capability Overview
mobilebuildmcp supports:
- simulator and device build/test/run
- debugging and log capture
- UI automation
- project discovery and scaffolding
- session defaults and workflow configuration
Exit Criteria
- CLI presence is verified or installation steps are provided.
- Commands are discovered via
--help/tools. - Session defaults are checked before first build/run/test action.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
