Filters and extracts errors, warnings, and test results
Outputs structured JSON for machine consumption
Lightweight Swift-based command-line tool
Designed for integration with AI coding agents

Use Cases:

Integrating Xcode build feedback into AI-powered development workflows
Automating CI/CD pipelines by programmatically analyzing xcodebuild logs
Providing cleaner, actionable build feedback to developers from terminal output

Alternatives:

xcpretty – Focuses on human-readable formatting and reporting, while xcsift focuses on machine-parsable JSON output for automation.
