Published a new post on how we think about developer productivity at Tuist. Three layers: toolchain, compute, and cache.
Most companies over-invest in the easy ones and ignore the toolchain layer, where the actual impact is. That is where we started.
https://tuist.dev/blog/2...
We published an RFC for Build Reports in Tuist, capturing build data across Xcode, Bazel, and Gradle so teams can compare builds and debug why things got slower instead of guessing. Each build system keeps its own data model. Would love feedback.
https://community.tuist....
We started building Tuist from the "roof" - deep in the toolchain, contributing to open source tools with no direct financial return.
Most companies won't go this deep. But trust is the real currency in developer tooling.

If you missed yesterday's community call, here's the recording: https://videos.tuist.dev...
We talked about new cache regions, Linux CLI support, Gradle/Android caching, flaky test auto-quarantine, coding agents, and what's coming next.
Coding agents didn't try to make the editor work remotely. They made the editor optional. Once you accept that separation, the next logical step is for agent platforms to become git forges. They already own the compute.

Published our plans for Tuist's next cycle: runners, full Gradle parity, faster Swift registry, test attachments, and sharding. Going deeper into infrastructure.

Proud of how much we ship at Tuist with 4 people. First cycle of 2026 done: Gradle cache, Linux CLI, flaky test detection, crash stack traces, bundle size alerts.

We're bringing Tuist's cache + insights to Gradle 🧱
If your team uses Gradle and slow builds are a pain, I'd love to chat. Looking for early collaborators to shape this with us.
Global low-latency cache nodes close to your CI. We handle the infra.

We're changing our mind on MCP vs CLIs. Coding agents can use the Tuist CLI, but a dedicated MCP server lets them manage sessions from their own environments. Imagine: Tuist detects a flaky test, you ping your agent, it fixes it. We're building for that future now.

Coding agents are changing everything. Issues that took days now take minutes. Build times are becoming the bottleneck, and that's where Tuist comes in.
We're building infrastructure for productive agentic engineering.

New post: "The rhythm of building"
As dev tooling founders, we keep noticing ideas and problems have their own pace. You can't rush insight. I wrote about manufactured urgency, FOMO-driven adoption, and why we're choosing a slower path at Tuist.

We now provide official Tuist skills for AI coding agents: https://github.com/tuist...
Three skills available:
1. Migrate existing Xcode projects to Tuist-generated projects
2. Work with Tuist-generated projects
3. Detect and fix flaky tests
Install and update them via the skills CLI.
Tuist is evolving beyond Apple. Our docs need to reflect that. We're adopting the Diataxis framework to organize content into tutorials, guides, reference, and explanation, scoped by build system: Xcode, Gradle, and more.

Great article by Serg Dort on how Tuist + git worktrees unlocks parallel agentic iOS development. Binary caching skips cold builds across worktrees, code-based manifests are agent-readable, and generated .xcodeproj means no merge conflicts.
https://sergdort.github....
We stopped generating resource bundles for static frameworks in Tuist since Xcode 15 supports resources natively. It caused a lot of pain. Sorry.
Edge cases were wild: Bundle.module runtime issues, test bundles, extensions, missing resource accessors...

We're looking for feedback on our new SKILL.md for generated projects! If you're using Tuist's project generation, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Codex migrated Mastodon iOS to Tuist. Clean builds: 110.8s → 22.3s (80% faster). Agent handled the feedback loop autonomously. Manual migrations take days, this took hours. Wrote a reusable skill for future migrations.

Tuist now includes links to the PRs in every changelog entry so you can see the code that enabled each feature or fix 🔗
Better transparency and easier to dive into the implementation details when you need them.
I loved working full-time on @vite.dev hired by StackBlitz. High praise to companies hiring OSS devs!
But as I did when starting @vitest.dev with @antfu.me, for this new community adventure, as project steward of @npmx.dev together with @danielroe.dev, I'll be going independent. Here we go again ❤️
A sincere salute to the amazing folks who generously imparted their invaluable insights to us: Shili, Snow, Mohammad Azam, @marcprux.bsky.social , Khoa Pham, Zhong Cheng Li, @joanniso.bsky.social, @pepicrft.bsky.social, @dimillian.app and jaywcjlove
We're exploring how to bring Tuist's binary caching to external build systems like Gradle, Cargo, and CMake.
If you're using Kotlin Multiplatform, Rust, or C++ in your iOS projects, this could save you a lot of rebuild time.
Would love your input on the RFC:

Two shifts: CI companies offering envs as runners for Jenkins. GitHub runner providers pivoting to agent sandboxes since GitHub wants to compete. Both finding new ground. AWS will follow, prices will drop. DX wins.
Trendyol (Turkey's biggest e-commerce app) cut their iOS build times by 65% with Tuist.
30 minute builds → 10 minutes
15 min UI test setup → 30 seconds
170+ developers, 10+ teams, one solution.
Full case study: https://tuist.dev/custom...
Tuist CLI 4.124.0 adds support for Swift Package traits when using .external dependencies. Declare traits in Package.swift and Tuist sets the right build settings for generated targets. Details: https://community.tuist....
New post: Unlocking New Mental Models with AI
Stop optimizing old workflows. Ask what new ones could exist.
Follow builders, not gurus. Tokens are investment, not expense.

Tuist update: static frameworks now always host resources—no extra bundle needed. Nice simplification for resource handling in SPM/Xcode workflows. Link: https://community.tuist....
🧵 Released clawd-plugin-loom — a learning graph plugin for Clawdbot!
Mastery learning + spaced repetition + semantic search in local-first Markdown.
• Nodes with prerequisites & unlocks
• SRS scheduling
• Context captures
• Git sync
https://github.com/pepic...
Clawdbot Vault Plugin turns a local folder into a structured knowledge vault. Plain markdown with QMD-powered search and embeddings, frontmatter schema, and optional git sync. Install via `clawdbot plugins install clawd-plugin-vault`. https://github.com/pepic...
Tuist’s Slack integration makes project health proactive. Daily reports share build duration, test duration, cache hit rate, selective tests, and bundle size trends. Alerts fire when p90 build time spikes or cache hits fall, with a cooldown to keep noise low. Details: https://tuist.dev/blog/2...
Love this! Community member built a complete TMDB app with Tuist and shared it as a learning resource. These real-world examples make such a difference for teams getting started.
