axint 0.6.0

Python SDK for Axint: define, validate, and generate inspectable Swift for App Intents, SwiftUI, WidgetKit, and app scaffolds.

Axint Python SDK

Axint is the proof and repair layer for Apple coding agents. The Python SDK is its native authoring surface for App Intents, entities, SwiftUI views, WidgetKit widgets, and app scaffolds. It parses Python without executing it, validates the resulting IR, and generates inspectable Swift directly in Python.

The normal Python parse, validate, and compile paths do not require Node.js. Full existing-project Xcode proof is provided by the main @axint/compiler CLI on macOS.

Install

pip install axint

For development:

git clone https://github.com/agenticempire/axint.git
cd axint/python
pip install -e '.[dev]'

Define an intent

from axint import define_intent, param

create_event = define_intent(
    name="CreateCalendarEventIntent",
    title="Create Calendar Event",
    description="Creates a new event on the user's calendar",
    domain="productivity",
    params={
        "event_title": param.string("Title of the event"),
        "start_date": param.date("When the event starts"),
        "duration_minutes": param.int("Length of the event in minutes"),
        "is_all_day": param.boolean(
            "Whether the event is all-day", optional=True, default=False
        ),
    },
    entitlements=["com.apple.developer.calendars"],
    info_plist_keys={
        "NSCalendarsUsageDescription": "Create and edit calendar events you request.",
    },
)

Parse, validate, and compile

The package installs axint-py; the JavaScript package owns the axint command.

# Inspect compatible IR without executing the Python file
axint-py parse intents/create_event.py
axint-py parse intents/create_event.py --json

# Generate Swift natively in Python
axint-py compile intents/create_event.py --stdout
axint-py compile intents/create_event.py --out ios/Intents/

# Emit companion metadata
axint-py compile intents/create_event.py --out ios/Intents/ \
  --emit-info-plist --emit-entitlements

# Validate without generating Swift
axint-py validate intents/create_event.py

# Return machine-readable output
axint-py compile intents/create_event.py --json

Use it as a library

from axint import define_intent, generate_swift, param, validate_intent

intent = define_intent(
    name="SendMessage",
    title="Send Message",
    description="Sends a message",
    domain="messaging",
    params={"body": param.string("Message text")},
)

ir = intent.to_ir()
diagnostics = validate_intent(ir)
swift_code = generate_swift(ir)

Cross-language verification

Python produces IR compatible with the TypeScript compiler. Pipe an intent into the main CLI when you want an additional cross-surface compiler pass:

axint-py parse intent.py --json | axint compile - --from-ir --stdout

This bridge is optional. Native Python generation does not invoke it.

Coverage boundary

Capability	Python SDK
Intent, entity, view, widget, and app definitions	Implemented
Primitive parameters, entitlements, and plist fragments	Implemented
Native Swift generation and IR validation	Implemented
Parse, compile, and validate CLI	Implemented
Focused Python MCP authoring server	Implemented with the mcp extra
Optional Node-backed Swift validator helper in Python MCP	Available when the JavaScript package is installed
Resumable Xcode build, test, repair, and signed proof	Use the main @axint/compiler CLI on macOS

The Python and TypeScript generators are separate implementations over compatible contracts. Parity tests cover their shared output; a claim about one surface should not be assumed to apply to the other without a corresponding test.

MCP extra

pip install 'axint[mcp]'
axint-mcp-py

The Python MCP package focuses on Python authoring, generation, validation, and discovery. It is not a substitute for the main MCP server's complete project proof and coordination surface.

Prove the resulting Apple project

After adding generated Swift to an Xcode project, run the full local proof loop:

npx -y -p @axint/compiler axint prove --dir /path/to/MyApp

The command checks Swift, runs the available Xcode build and tests, reconciles findings, and writes a signed source-free receipt. It does not upload project source by default.

Development

pip install -e '.[dev]'
pytest
