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.

Security

Grade A, and why

appstore-review scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_sources.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Store guideline review

A read-only audit skill: review a project against Apple's live App Store Review Guidelines and the submission requirements Apple publishes around them, and report whether it would survive upload and App Review. Tone: pragmatic reviewer who has shipped apps and knows which rules actually get apps bounced.

Why this skill exists

Apple's rules drift, and they drift in two places. The guidelines themselves change several times a year — in twelve months they gained 2.5.19 (hidden features), 2.3.14 (creative assets), third-party-AI consent in 5.1.2(i), chatbots in 4.7, AI content creation in 1.2, and a United States carve-out for purchase links. And a second set of requirements never appears in the guidelines at all: SDK and deployment-target minimums enforced at upload, the age-rating questionnaire, regional age-assurance laws, and new hardware. When iPhone Duo shipped in October 2026 the guidelines didn't mention it once — the requirements (Duo screenshots mandatory from April 2027, iOS 27 SDK builds that "fail to launch" without the scene life cycle) lived in Apple Developer News and release notes.

Reviewing against a snapshot in the model's head is how teams ship rejections. Pull both sources live, as exact text, at the start of every run. If the guidelines fetch fails, say so plainly and stop — do not guess from training data.

The 6-step workflow

1. Pull the live sources

Run the bundled fetcher — it downloads the raw pages with curl, converts them to text locally, and slices the guidelines per section so every lane gets Apple's exact wording (a summarizing fetch tool paraphrases, and paraphrase is where carve-outs and renumberings get lost):

python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/fetch_sources.py "$TMPDIR/appstore-review"

It writes guidelines.txt, section-1.txt…section-5.txt, news.md (every Apple Developer News item from the last 12 months, full text), upcoming-requirements.txt (minimums in force) and submitting.txt (announced minimums, e.g. the April 2027 SDK and deployment-target floor) outside the repo, and prints the guidelines' Last Updated: date. --rule 5.1.2 prints one rule's exact text — use it to confirm every rule number before it reaches the report. Details, supporting pages to pull per project shape, and the by-hand fallback: references/live-sources.md.

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.
