Xcode is several generations behind the latest AI-assisted programming tools. I’m not sure how they catch up at their cadence, but the vertical integration Apple has should be the greatest advantage here. The AST should be exposed to an agent to allow symbol navigation; it should have access to structured diagnostics; the entire documentation surface for all symbols should be available. The harness they could build is amazing. I don’t know if they want to.

@swiftlang's swift-build being open source means we get build-time data at build time. Info that never surfaces in .xcresult, .xcactivitylog, or xcodebuild logs. We forked it to output structured data to SQLite. Tested on @wikipedia@wikis.world iOS and @tuist@fosstodon.org . Agents identify bottlenecks, parallelization issues, and surface actionable warnings. Open-sourced as Argus. Install via mise, set XCBBUILDSERVICE_PATH, configure agent memory. https://tuist.dev/blog/2025/11/27/teaching-ai-to-read-xcode-builds
