SPM Build Analysis

Use this skill when package structure, plugins, or dependency configuration are likely contributing to slow Xcode builds.

Core Rules

Treat package analysis as evidence gathering first, not a mandate to replace dependencies.

Separate package-graph issues from project-setting issues.

Do not rewrite package manifests or dependency sources without explicit approval.

What To Inspect

Package.swift and Package.resolved

local packages vs remote packages

package plugin and build-tool usage

binary target footprint

dependency layering, repeated imports, and potential cycles

build logs or timing summaries that show package-related work
