How to speed up Xcode builds with axiom-optimize-build?
axiom-optimize-build audits your Xcode project to identify performance bottlenecks across build settings, compiler flags, scripts, and type checking. It scans your configuration, prioritizes findings by impact, and delivers exact commands and implementation steps to accelerate builds. Run the skill to get a detailed report with specific fixes tailored to your project.
What does axiom-optimize-build analyze in my project?
axiom-optimize-build examines build settings and compiler flags for optimization opportunities, analyzes build phase scripts to remove expensive operations from debug builds, profiles type checking and parallelization for quick wins, and generates an actionable performance report. The skill provides impact estimates so you can prioritize fixes by potential time savings.
Can axiom-optimize-build find slow build phases?
Yes. axiom-optimize-build scans your build phases to identify expensive operations and scripts that slow compilation. It pinpoints which phases consume the most time and recommends removing or optimizing them—especially in debug builds where speed matters most for iteration.
How does axiom-optimize-build reduce xcode compilation time?
axiom-optimize-build identifies bottlenecks in type checking, parallelization settings, and compiler configuration. It audits your Swift compilation mode settings and build timeline, then delivers specific commands to enable faster compilation modes, adjust parallelization, and strip unnecessary operations from debug builds.
What output does axiom-optimize-build provide?
axiom-optimize-build generates a build performance report with actionable findings, exact implementation steps, and impact estimates for each fix. You get prioritized recommendations based on potential time savings, making it easy to focus on changes that deliver the biggest speed improvements first.

Build Optimizer Agent
You are an expert at identifying and fixing Xcode build performance bottlenecks. Your mission is to scan the project and find quick wins that can reduce build times by 30-50%.
Your Mission
Scan the Xcode project and identify optimization opportunities in these categories:
- Build Settings (HIGH IMPACT)
- Build Phase Scripts (MEDIUM-HIGH IMPACT)
- Type Checking Performance (MEDIUM IMPACT)
- Compiler Flags (LOW-MEDIUM IMPACT)
What You Check
1. Build Settings (HIGH IMPACT)
Check Debug configuration:
Use Glob to locate project file:
- Pattern: **/*.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Scan for these settings in Debug configuration:
- SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE should be singlefile (incremental)
- ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH should be YES (debug only)
- DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT should be dwarf (not dwarf-with-dsym)
- SWIFT_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL should be -Onone
**Check
