## Description

Orchestrate Xcode build optimization by benchmarking first, running the specialist analysis skills, prioritizing findings, requesting explicit approval, delegating approved fixes to xcode-build-fixer, and re-benchmarking after changes. Use when a developer wants an end-to-end build optimization workflow, asks to speed up Xcode builds, wants a full build audit, or needs a recommend-first optimization pass covering compilation, project settings, and packages.

# Xcode Build Orchestrator

Use this skill as the recommend-first entrypoint for end-to-end Xcode build optimization work.

## Non-Negotiable Rules

- Wall-clock build time (how long the developer waits) is the primary success metric. Every recommendation must state its expected impact on the developer's actual wait time.
- Start in recommendation mode.
- Benchmark before making changes.
- Do not modify project files, source files, packages, or scripts without explicit developer approval.
- Preserve the evidence trail for every recommendation.
- Re-benchmark after approved changes and report the wall-clock delta.

## Two-Phase Workflow

The orchestration is designed as two distinct phases separated by developer review.

### Phase 1 -- Analyze (recommend-only)

Run this phase in agent mode because the agent needs to execute builds, run benchmark scripts, write benchmark artifacts, and generate the optimization report. However, treat Phase 1 as **recommend-only**: do not modify any project files, source files, packages, or build settings. The only files the agent creates during this phase are benchmark artifacts and the optimization plan inside `.build-benchmark/`.
