Research direction
Start with the existing documentation around skip checkup and the quoted xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools failure. Document how to recover when xcodebuild requires Xcode, and consider the work done when a fresh-machine reader can follow the guidance from this error.

executing command: /usr/bin/xcodebuild -version xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance [✗] Xcode version: error executing xcodebuild (install from: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)(It doesn't matter whether you install Homebrew before or after Xcode. Once Homebrew selects the CLT directory, nothing automatically attempts to reset it to Xcode.)
