Axint

Xcode Happy Path

This is the shortest path from nothing installed to a working Xcode repair loop.

The goal is simple:

  1. Build
  2. Read the check
  3. Copy the repair prompt if something broke
  4. Rerun

  1. Install Axint.

    Terminal window
    npm install -g @axint/compiler

  2. Wire the local Xcode helpers once.

    Terminal window
    axint xcode setup
    axint xcode verify

    This gives your agentic tooling the local Axint path without you having to manually edit configs.

  3. Build in Xcode or swift build.

    Axint’s compile/validate plugin flow writes two layers of output:

    • a lightweight Axint Check
    • a richer Fix Packet

  4. Read the latest verdict first.

    Terminal window
    axint xcode check --kind validate

    That gives you the quick answer:

    • pass
    • needs review
    • fail

    plus the top finding and the next step.

  5. If something broke, fetch the exact repair prompt.

    Terminal window
    axint xcode packet --kind validate --format prompt

    Paste that prompt into your AI tool or use it as a manual repair checklist.

  6. Fix and rebuild.

    Keep the loop tight:

    • build
    • check
    • packet
    • fix
    • rerun

Which command should I use?

  • axint xcode check

    • use this first
    • quick verdict
    • top findings
    • next step

  • axint xcode packet

    • use this when you need the full repair brief
    • AI prompt
    • full diagnostics
    • artifact hints for Swift / plist / entitlements

What “good” looks like

The loop is working when:

  • your build produces a local Axint Check
  • you can read the latest verdict without hunting through DerivedData
  • you can copy one repair prompt into your AI tool
  • rerunning Axint moves the result to pass

Keep going
