Audit Xcode Security Settings

Apple's progressive hardening playbook for Xcode build settings: security-oriented compiler warnings, static analyzer checkers, and Enhanced Security features (pointer authentication, typed allocators, hardware memory tagging, read-only platform memory), with a build- settings catalog and a filter script. Use when asked to audit or harden an Xcode project's security posture, enable security warnings or static analysis, or catch more bugs at compile time in C/C++/ObjC/ Swift. Skip for network security, code signing, or privacy APIs. (Content extracted from your local Xcode on install.)

File contents

audit-xcode-security-settings (stub)

Not yet extracted. This is a stub. The real skill is Apple-authored content that ships inside Xcode; Apple's license doesn't permit redistributing it, so this kit extracts it from YOUR Xcode instead.

To install the real content (requires Xcode 27+, ~5 seconds), run the extraction script that ships alongside these skills. Relative to this skill's own directory it is at:
../apple-api-updates/scripts/extract-apple-skills.sh
(In the Claude Code plugin layout it is also exposed at the plugin root as scripts/extract-apple-skills.sh. If apple-api-updates is not installed alongside, install it — the script ships inside it.)

If you are an agent reading this: resolve this SKILL.md's path and run that script with your shell tool. Skill bodies are cached for the session and you cannot run /reload-plugins yourself (it's a user command), so after extracting: answer the current request by reading the extracted SKILL.md and its references/ directly from disk (plain markdown, fully usable), and ask the user to run /reload-plugins — or start a new session — so future invocations serve the real content.
