What it does
Benchmark Xcode clean and incremental builds with repeatable inputs, timing summaries, and timestamped `.build-benchmark/` artifacts. Use when a developer wants a baseline, wants to compare before and after changes, asks to measure build performance, mentions build times, build duration, how long builds take, or wants to know if builds got faster or slower.
Xcode Build Benchmark
Use this skill to produce a repeatable Xcode build baseline before anyone tries to optimize build times.
Core Rules
- Measure before recommending changes.
- Capture clean and incremental builds separately.
- Keep the command, destination, configuration, scheme, and warm-up rules consistent across runs.
- Write a timestamped JSON artifact to
.build-benchmark/. - Do not change project files as part of benchmarking.
Inputs To Collect
Confirm or infer:
- workspace or project path
- scheme
- configuration
- destination
- whether the user wants simulator or device numbers
- whether a custom
DerivedDatapath is needed
If the project has both clean-build and incremental-build pain, benchmark both. That is the default.
Worktree Considerations
When benchmarking inside a git worktree, SPM packages with exclude: paths that reference gitignored directories (e.g., __Snapshots__) will cause xcodebuild -resolvePackageDependencies to crash. Create those missing directories before running any builds.
