Compute the dependency blast radius of a Swift or Objective-C file — direct dependents, one hop of transitive callers, and covering tests — from Xcode's pre-built index. Use this when planning a refactor, scoping a structural change, or sizing the impact of editing a shared file, before reading anything.

Find every semantic reference to a Swift or Objective-C symbol via Xcode's pre-built index — no false positives from comments, string literals, or similarly-named symbols in unrelated modules. Use this when planning a change to scope its surface, before grep/ripgrep, and before reading files to trace call chains.

Produce a complete written refactor plan for Swift or Objective-C code — rename, signature change, type extraction, protocol split, API migration — listing every site that will change (grouped by file with line numbers), the risks (overrides, conformances, @objc bridging, cross-module public API, test coverage), and the recommended execution path. Pure planning — makes zero edits. Use whenever the user wants to scope, preview, or estimate a Swift change before committing to it.

Execute a semantic rename of a Swift or Objective-C symbol — type, method, property, protocol, enum case — across the codebase via Xcode's index, dispatched to the swift-refactor-specialist subagent so the main context isn't flooded with 50 file reads. Renames the actual symbol; never touches similarly-named text in comments or unrelated modules.
