I have been using Claude Code for a month or so now. I have created a CLAUDE.md and set up and MCP server but hadn't really done much to configure Claude better. The amount of options was a little overwhelming and "configuration" is not something that really peaks my interest usually.
I kept seeing examples of other projects with very precise and useful configuration though, and I knew I was not getting the best I could out of the tool.
So, I decided to ask Claude to do it for me. I won't go into too much detail because I'll post the steps I took below. And, a single prompt you can use to do the same for your iOS project.
If you are like me, just run this and let Claude improve your setup for you.
The Prompt

This comprehensive prompt will transform any iOS project into a fully automated, context-aware, self-maintaining Claude Code environment with XcodeBuildMCP integration.

This shows the step-by-step approach I used to transform my iOS project with Claude Code, including priming with /init, integrating XcodeBuildMCP, creating self-healing maintenance commands, and building a one-shot setup prompt for any iOS repository.
