Could you build this?
Yes The project integrates existing tools (openspec and an open-source MCP server for xcodebuild) into an agentic coding loop that prompts an LLM to generate Swift code and execute builds.
Discussion
10 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Claude Code with Xcode MCP server, Replit, Codex, Opencode
Concerns raised: Unclear advantage over Claude Code + Xcode MCP server integration, Screen capture/visual validation capabilities limited compared to Playwright, Whether it can actually see what's on screen beyond crash detection, Agents need custom tailoring for specific industry rules, not out-of-box solutions
Feature requests: Screen capture/visual validation like Playwright for web, Built-in option to disable app setup during unit tests, Performance and touch target validation
