This is basically a Skill version of my XCode MCP: https://github.com/conorluddy/xc-mcp
MCPs load a lot of tokens into the context window when they're active, but also seem to work really well. Skills don't load in any context. I'll make a plugin next and try to find the balance...
Updated: The Plugin version lets you easily disable MCPs for different tool groups. Optimise your context window by only enabling the tools you're actively using, such as xcodebuild: https://github.com/conorluddy/xclaude-plugin
Instead of pixel-based navigation that breaks when UI changes:
# Fragile - breaks if UI changes idb ui tap 320 400 # Robust - finds by meaning python scripts/navigator.py --find-text "Login" --tap
Uses semantic navigation on accessibility APIs to interact with elements by their meaning, not coordinates. Works across different screen sizes and survives UI redesigns.
