Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01990	$0.01990
Opus 5.5	$0.00796	$0.00796
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00398	$0.00398
Haiku 4.5	$0.00199	$0.00199

Security

Grade A, and why

app-store-toolkit CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

app-store-toolkit — Claude Code Plugin for App Store Connect

What This Is

app-store-toolkit is a Claude Code plugin that manages App Store Connect metadata with AI. It provides slash commands for ASO-optimized copywriting, changelogs, IAP descriptions, localization, and two-way sync with the App Store Connect API.

All commands use the app-store-toolkit prefix: /app-store-toolkit:setup, /app-store-toolkit:aso, /app-store-toolkit:push, etc.

Architecture

Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md): Slash commands for user-facing workflows
MCP Server (servers/appstore-connect/): TypeScript server providing tools for App Store Connect API and local metadata store
Agents (agents/): Specialized agents for ASO copywriting and localization
Hooks (hooks/): PostToolUse validation and SessionStart status display
Local Store (.appstore/): JSON files tracking metadata with iteration history

Data Model

Config Split

.appstore/config.json — committed: bundle_id, platforms, locales, voice settings
.appstore/config.local.json — gitignored: key_id, issuer_id, p8_key_path (NEVER commit)

Metadata Store

App-level decisions and per-locale content live in .appstore/. Every committed file is a single source of truth; ASC is the deploy target.

.appstore/
  config.json              ✅ committed — bundle id, locales, voice
  config.local.json        🚫 gitignored — credentials only
  listing.json             ✅ committed — categories, age rating, pricing, availability, encryption defaults
  privacy.json             ✅ committed — App Privacy questionnaire responses (taxonomy-validated)
  review.json              ✅ committed — App Review information (contact, demo creds, notes)
  metadata/{locale}/...    ✅ committed — per-locale content; URL fields live here
    assets.json            ✅ NEW — per-file headlines, cover frames
    assets.lock.json       ✅ NEW — sha/asc_id cache (committed for idempotency)
  assets/                  ✅ NEW — per-locale screenshots and app previews (use Git LFS)
    {platform}/{locale}/{device}/
      screenshots/         # 01.png, 02.png, ...
      previews/            # 01.mp4, 02.mp4, ...
  templates/               ✅ NEW — optional Puppeteer-based screenshot renderer (opt-in install)
  history/                 ✅ committed — append-only audit log
    pushes.jsonl           # one line per ASC mutation: timestamp, tool, payload, result
    submissions.jsonl      # M3 — one line per submission attempt: timestamp, build, dry-run result, status
    audits.jsonl           # M3 — one line per audit run: timestamp, 7-phase results, cross-surface violations
  ship-state.json          🚫 gitignored transient — /ship checkpoint (M3)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
