as someone who's likely never going to dive into this i am curious, what's the upside here using this over.. claude code and plugging in xcode mcp server(s) alongside xcode ? I see it uses claude anyways, I'm just curious if you've designed some additional guardrailing or features here.

I've had good success with Opencode and Codex straight up in the XCode project folder. It was able to change the XCode project settings etc., no skills.md or agents.md or anything, no problem. It was a fairly new project though.

As someone in this space, I think that devs haven’t realized yet that they can’t just use open source skills or agents out of the box. They likely have intricate rules and restrictions in their industry or company culture that they need to tailor-fit the agent to. They might take a few pointers from what’s out there, but they’d ultimately have to build their own.

An excellent metaphor for this is using third party libraries for a button. You look up what’s available in the open, but then your design or product team has insanely specific behaviors simply not provided by any open source library.

I was wondering the same, that's basically exactly what Claude already does out of the box without having to use some custom GUI layer on top.

> Describe what you want to build, and AgentSwift uses Claude to discover your project, implement changes, build, run, and validate — without you touching Xcode.

Hi! This is a truly experimental project but the goal is something closer to Replit for native swift than Claude Code.

I hacked it together in a weekend it's not that serious.
