brew install swift-format

“Install swift-format with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read swift-format --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update swift-format and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run swift-format on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs swift-format there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install swift-format first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install swift-format for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
