Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by EveryInc on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ce Test Xcode AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin.git /tmp/compound-engineering-plugin
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/compound-engineering-plugin/skills/ce-test-xcode .claude/skills/ce-test-xcode

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ce Test Xcode in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Ce Test Xcode on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Ce Test Xcode is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Xcode Simulator Test

Build and exercise an iOS app on a simulator, preserving screenshots, logs, human-verification results, and failures as evidence for the user.

Done:

A completed run reports overall PASS, FAIL, or PARTIAL plus project, scheme, simulator, build result, per-surface PASS / FAIL / SKIP, console errors, human checks, and residual failures.
Per-surface status is derived from evidence, not the user's routing choice. PASS requires completed passing evidence. FAIL records observed failing evidence until a completed retest replaces it. SKIP means the check has no completed outcome.
The overall result is FAIL while any failure remains, PARTIAL when no failure remains but a scoped check is skipped, and otherwise PASS.
Any failure before the app is launched with log capture running stops later stages and reports an actionable setup blocker with its evidence.

Boundaries: this skill tests and reports. Diagnosis and any user-approved product fix belong to ce-debug, invoked with its authority narrowed so it returns here without committing, pushing, or opening a PR. Keep simulator interaction within the app and flows the user placed in scope.

Run

Prepare and launch. Read references/setup-and-build.md. It defines the XcodeBuildMCP availability check, project and scheme discovery, simulator choice, build, install, launch, and log-capture start.
Exercise and report. After launch, read references/test-and-report.md. It defines per-screen evidence, human-only flows, the SwiftUI inline-link automation limitation, what to do when a check fails, cleanup, and the fixed summary fields.

Do not replace either required read with remembered tool names. XcodeBuildMCP adapters differ by host, while their observable success conditions do not.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ce Test Xcode AI skill do?

Test iOS apps in a simulator with XcodeBuildMCP. Use when iOS changes need simulator evidence before handoff.

Why use Ce Test Xcode on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ce Test Xcode is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Ce Test Xcode in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/tree/main/skills/ce-test-xcode. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ce Test Xcode?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Ce Test Xcode?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Ce Test Xcode with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Ce Test Xcode AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by EveryInc under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
