More Detail
Additional details
- Xcode agents can explore project context from source files, build settings, open editors, and active selections before proposing changes.
- The transcript shows using a separate editor-pane conversation to keep generated architecture notes visible while inspecting linked source files.
- Agent-generated walkthroughs can preserve data-flow summaries, key file references, and implementation plans so the context survives beyond one chat.
- The sample app uses SwiftUI and SwiftData while building an `InsightsView`, then refining the feature after the first agent-generated pass.
- The orchestration section treats multiple conversations as separate workstreams, with the developer coordinating scope and reviewing the resulting changes.
