Research direction

Review how the existing Commandant projects use their xcodeproj and the "Extract CLI Tool" build phase, then determine whether a bootstrap project or additional tool is required. Document the steps for creating a Swift command-line Xcode project and adding Commandant as a dependency; done means a newcomer can follow the instructions successfully.

Description

help wanted

I want to create new Xcode project to build a CLI tool. So I open Xcode, I create a new command line tool project (using swift), then I try to add Commandant as a dependency, but, I cannot add frameworks as a dependency.

All the projects using Commandant have very peculiar xcodeproj. They seem standard OSX apps, but they are using build phases like "Extract CLI Tool".

Am I missing a tool or a bootstrap project?
