Apple cktool
Use the stateless cktool CLI distributed with Xcode to manage CloudKit schemas and test data from macOS. Keep the target explicit and default all development automation to the development environment.
Choose the right companion
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Shell commands, Xcode schemes, or a macOS runner | This skill |
| TypeScript, Node.js, browser tooling, or non-macOS CI | apple-cktool-js |
| A shell wrapper around a few stable commands | This skill |
| Reusable branching logic, typed models, updates, or richer error handling | apple-cktool-js |
Use both skills when a repository exposes a simple local cktool path and a portable CKTool JS CI path. Keep the same team, container, environment, schema file, and safety policy across both implementations.
