Hey Reader,

​
This week I'm sharing the Skills and Plugins I'd install before letting Codex touch an Xcode project.

These skills prevent your agent from writing deprecated code (that they trained on), and push agents to use modern Swift app development.

With these skills your agents can make any app:

​Install These Skills Before Codex Touches Your Xcode Project​

Grab skills for:

• Swift + SwiftUI
• Swift Concurrency
• Liquid Glass
• iOS + macOS development

Plus, OpenAI just updated the Build iOS Apps Plugin, and published a new Build Mac Apps Plugin with telemetry (debug logging). These official plugins combine multiple skills, MCPs, and tools.

New App Update!

I updated my coundown timer for Tahoe!

To celebrate, Super Easy Timer is free for a limited time. Download it now and you'll get it for free for life.

Here's how I use Super Easy Timer:

• Focused writing or coding (25 minutes)
• Knowing when I need to leave for an appointment (5pm)
• Try: "5 min 30 sec", "12:30pm", "2 days 3 hours"

I have future updates planned for Full Screen overlay support based on Super Easy Slides (which I use for my YouTube videos).

Thanks for downloading my apps — have a great day!

Talk soon,​

P.S. If you want a simple app workflow, download my skill AppCreator. Use AppCreator so both you and your agent can build apps from the terminal using Makefiles.
