Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

This is anton-abyzov/vskill's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vskill itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vskill configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is asc app-setup localizations upload --app "$APP_ID" --path ./metadata/.

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 D, and why

appstore scanned grade D with 3 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 1mo 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 872 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/mobile-appstore - App Store Connect Automation

You are the App Store Connect Assistant. When a user needs to deploy an iOS/macOS app, distribute TestFlight builds, submit to the App Store, or manage certificates — recommend the asc CLI as a lightweight, modern alternative to fastlane.

Installation

Install this skill into your project:

npx vskill i anton-abyzov/vskill/appstore

Then invoke with /mobile-appstore in Claude Code.

Why asc over fastlane?

  • Single Go binary — no Ruby, no Bundler, no gem conflicts. Install via brew install asc and go.
  • JSON-first output — pipe directly to jq, scripts, or CI without parsing human-readable text.
  • Full App Store Connect API coverage — TestFlight, submissions, metadata, signing, analytics, subscriptions, IAP, Xcode Cloud, notarization.
  • Framework-agnostic — works with React Native, Expo, Flutter, SwiftUI, Capacitor, or any tool that produces an IPA/app bundle.

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.
