SWIFT ANALYZER / LOCAL CLI

Static analysis for Swift

A local CLI that traces reachability across Swift declarations and identifies candidates for unused code.

Read the program as one build snapshot

Swift Analyzer connects declarations, references, roots, and explicit dynamic boundaries from one prepared build snapshot.

Reachability

Declaration and reference analysis within a specific build snapshot.

Explanations

Evidence, assumptions, and limitations for individual results.

Local execution

Existing compiler data as input. Canonical JSON as output.

Command-line interface

doctor validates the input snapshot. scan performs the analysis. why explains a result by its exact identifier.

For automation, preserve the JSON report and exit code. Exit 3 indicates incomplete capability.

shell · documented grammar
swift-analyzer doctor --manifest snapshot.json --format human
swift-analyzer scan --manifest snapshot.json --format json

Compiler data as input

The analyzer consumes an existing Index Store and a manifest for one build variant. Project preparation is a separate step.

Incomplete inputs or unmodeled dynamic behavior leave affected conclusions unknown. The absence of known references does not prove that code is unused.

Current boundary

The documented capability is advisory-only for one exact validated profile. There is no automatic deletion, default blocking findings gate, or public binary download in the current release documentation.

Team workflows and a hosted service are planned. The current scope is the local CLI.
