xcdocs

name	xcdocs
description	Use when an agent is writing, debugging, or updating code against Apple frameworks and needs local Xcode documentation to resolve compile errors, discover the right symbols, check API shape or availability, confirm usage patterns, or inspect related articles and topics for newly released SDK features.

XCDocs

Use xcdocs as a local Apple-framework reference while changing code.

Use It During Implementation

• Ensure xcdocs is available before relying on the skill.
• Reach for it when an Apple API is unfamiliar, newly released, renamed, or failing to compile.
• Start with search --json --omit-content to find the likely symbol, article, or topic.
• Add repeatable --framework and --kind {article|symbol|topic} filters when the query is broad.
• Treat documents[].uri from search results as the canonical identifier for get.
• Use get --json to inspect the full entry before editing code that depends on it.
• Apply what you find to the code: fix symbol names, choose the right overload, adjust availability guards, or switch to the documented API.

Common Uses

• Fix compile failures against Apple frameworks by verifying the actual symbol name and entry point.
• Explore a newly released framework or feature area before wiring it into code.
• Check whether an API is a symbol, a broader topic page, or an article with setup guidance.
• Find adjacent types or concepts after locating one relevant documentation entry.

Reference

• Read references/cli.md for command syntax, JSON shapes, and troubleshooting.
