Can it automate the optimization process?

Yes, you can run the /axiom:optimize-build command to trigger an automated scan of your project for common configuration issues and immediate 'quick-win' fixes.

How does this skill help with slow Swift compilation?

It helps you enable specific compiler flags to identify functions and expressions that exceed type-checking time limits, providing proven refactoring patterns to speed them up.

Is this useful for CI/CD environments?

Absolutely. It provides specific patterns for optimizing script phases and caching artifacts that significantly reduce the time and cost of clean builds in CI pipelines.

Does it support the latest Xcode 26 features?

Yes, it includes comprehensive workflows for enabling and verifying Xcode 26 features like compilation caching and explicit module builds to maximize performance.

What is the 'Critical Path' in build performance?

The critical path is the longest chain of dependent tasks in your build. This skill helps you identify and break these dependencies to enable better parallelization across CPU cores.

Mobile Development

Optimizes Xcode build times for Apple platform development by analyzing bottlenecks and implementing battle-tested performance patterns.

소개

This skill provides a systematic framework for analyzing and accelerating Xcode build performance across iOS, macOS, and visionOS projects. It guides developers through measuring baselines, interpreting the Xcode Build Timeline, and identifying common bottlenecks such as slow Swift type checking, inefficient build scripts, and suboptimal compilation modes. With specialized support for modern Xcode features—including Xcode 26 compilation caching and explicit modules—it helps maintain fast developer iteration loops and reduces CI/CD overhead for complex Apple platform applications.
