description	Use /usr/local/bin/xcsift for all Swift and Xcode build commands. Pipe xcodebuild build, xcodebuild test, swift build, swift test through xcsift to get structured TOON output with compile errors, warnings, test failures, code coverage, slow tests, and build timing. Essential for parsing Xcode build output, diagnosing compile errors, analyzing test results, and measuring code coverage in any Swift or Xcode project.

xcsift - Xcode Build Output Formatter

xcsift parses and formats xcodebuild/SPM output into token-efficient TOON format optimized for LLM consumption. It extracts compile errors, warnings, test failures, code coverage, and build timing from verbose Xcode output.

When to Use

Always pipe through xcsift when running:

• xcodebuild build / xcodebuild test
• swift build / swift test
• Any command that produces Xcode/SPM build output

When Not to Use

Informational commands print an answer, not a build log. xcsift discards that answer, so run them directly:

• xcodebuild -version / -usage / -help
• xcodebuild -list / -showsdks / -showdestinations / -showTestPlans / -showBuildSettings
• xcodebuild -find-executable / -find-library / -create-xcframework
• , , and any or command
