Use Case
Stop doing repetitive developer & devops tasks manually. swiftfindrefs lets your AI agent handle them automatically through natural conversation. Use swiftfindrefs (IndexStoreDB) to list every Swift source file referencing a symbol. Mandatory for “find references”, “fix missing imports”, and cross-module refactors. Do not replace with grep/rg or IDE search. This guide shows practical examples of using swiftfindrefs to automate common developer & devops workflows and save hours every week.
