name	build-and-run-macos-app
description	Slash command that creates or updates the project-local macOS `script/build_and_run.sh` and uses it as the default build/run entrypoint. Invoke explicitly with /build-and-run-macos-app — this skill never self-triggers.

Build And Run macOS App

Create or update the project-local macOS build_and_run.sh script, then use that script as the default build/run entrypoint.

Arguments

• scheme: Xcode scheme name (optional)
• workspace: path to .xcworkspace (optional)
• project: path to .xcodeproj (optional)
• product: SwiftPM executable product name (optional)
• mode: run, debug, logs, telemetry, or verify (optional, default: run)
• app_name: process/app name to stop before relaunching (optional)

Workflow

1. Detect whether the repo uses an Xcode workspace, Xcode project, or SwiftPM package.
2. If the workspace is not inside git yet, run git init at the project root so git-backed editor features unlock.
3. Create or update script/build_and_run.sh so it always stops the current app, builds the macOS target, and launches the fresh result.
4. For SwiftPM, keep raw executable launch only for true CLI tools; for AppKit/SwiftUI GUI apps, create a project-local .app bundle and launch it with /usr/bin/open -n.
5. Support optional script flags for --debug, --logs, --telemetry, and --verify.
6. Follow the canonical bootstrap contract in ../build-run-debug/references/build-script.md for the exact script shape.
7. Run the script in the requested mode and summarize any build, script, or launch failure.

Guardrails

• Do not initialize a nested git repo inside an existing parent checkout.
• Keep the no-flag script path simple: kill, build, run.
• Use --debug, --logs, --telemetry, or --verify only when the user asks for those modes.
