xcode-build-benchmarklisted

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 `DerivedData` path 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. ## Default Workflow 1. Normalize the build command and note every flag that affects caching or module reuse. 2. Run one warm-up build if needed to validate that the command succeeds. 3. Run 3 clean builds. 4. If `COMPILATION_CACHE_ENABLE_CACHING = YES` is detected, run 3 cached clean builds. These measure clean build time with a warm compilation cache -- the realistic scenario for branch switching, pulling changes, or Clean Build Folder. The sc
