What it does

Analyze Swift and mixed-language compile hotspots using build timing summaries and Swift frontend diagnostics, then produce a recommend-first source-level optimization plan. Use when a developer reports slow compilation, type-checking warnings, expensive clean-build compile phases, long CompileSwiftSources tasks, warn-long-function-bodies output, or wants to speed up Swift type checking.

Xcode Compilation Analyzer

Use this skill when compile time, not just general project configuration, looks like the bottleneck.

Core Rules

  • Start from evidence, ideally a recent .build-benchmark/ artifact or raw timing-summary output.
  • Prefer analysis-only compiler flags over persistent project edits during investigation.
  • Rank findings by expected wall-clock impact, not cumulative compile-time impact. When compile tasks are heavily parallelized (sum of compile categories >> wall-clock median), note that fixing individual hotspots may improve parallel efficiency without reducing build wait time.
  • When the evidence points to parallelized work rather than serial bottlenecks, label recommendations as "Reduces compiler workload (parallel)" rather than "Reduces build time."
  • Do not edit source or build settings without explicit developer approval.
