This is a product update and real-world experiment rather than a Word-based WorkBuddy lesson. It examines how Xcode 26.6 opens more direct collaboration with third-party AI agents.
The demo covers permissions, project context, compilation, automated tests, and the difference between Xcode MCP integration and ordinary command-line work.
What changed
The important shift is from an agent working beside Xcode to Xcode exposing collaboration points for agents. That can reduce context switching, but it does not remove the need to review permissions, diffs, build output, and test results.
In your Xcode project, confirm third-party agent permissions first. Ask the agent to inspect the project, propose a change plan, run a build and tests, and report each result without making unapproved changes.
