# Apple Developer Research Bundled commands use `$PLUGIN_ROOT` (`$env:PLUGIN_ROOT` in PowerShell; same path suffix) for the plugin root. Set it once: use the host's plugin-root variable when defined (Claude Code: `PLUGIN_ROOT="$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT"`), otherwise the absolute path of this plugin's root directory. Use Apple Dev Search for Apple-platform community content when the user wants articles, tutorials, or reading material rather than official docs or generic web results. Do not hard-code service counts; query `--counts` when counts matter. ## Workflow 1. Start with one focused query using the user's wording. 2. Hard cap ordinary requests at 3 commands total: initial search plus 2 retries. Stop once 3 useful candidates are found. 3. If broad/noisy, retry with `--title-only` and tighter terms. 4. Use syntax when helpful: quotes, `|`, `-`, `*`, `~1`, parentheses. 5. For fresh reading lists, inspect `--recent`. 6. Verify selected article URLs with Crawl4AI only when snippets are insufficient or candidates are close. Avoid generic web search/Tavily/Firecrawl unless Crawl4AI fails. 7. Return 3-8 links with title, blog, date, URL, and one-line relevance. ## Commands ```bash python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/apple-dev-research/scripts/appledevsearch.py" --query 'build speed' --limit 5 python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/apple-dev-research/scripts/appledevsearch.py" --query '"incremental builds" | "compile time"' --title-only --limit 5 python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/apple-dev-research/sc...
