SwiftPM for macOS
Quick Start
Use this skill when Package.swift is the primary entrypoint or when SwiftPM is
the fastest path to a reproducible result.
Workflow
- Inspect the package.
- Read
Package.swift. - Identify executable, library, and test products.
- Build with SwiftPM.
- Use
swift buildby default. - Use release mode only when the user explicitly needs it.
- Run the right product.
- Use
swift run <product>when an executable exists. - If multiple executables exist, explain the default choice.
- Test narrowly.
- Use
swift test. - Apply filters when a specific test target or case is known.
- Summarize failures.
- Module/import resolution
- Package graph or dependency issue
- Linker failure
- Runtime failure
- Test regression
Guardrails
- Prefer SwiftPM over Xcode when both exist and the package path is clearly simpler.
- Do not assume an app bundle exists in a pure package workflow.
- Explain when the package is library-only and therefore not directly runnable.
Output Expectations
Provide:
- the package products you found
- the command you ran
- whether build, run, or test succeeded
- the top blocker if not
