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

ios-app-store-release 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

iOS App Store Release

Safety Boundary

Uploading or submitting to App Store Connect is an outward release action. Do it only when the user explicitly delegates that action and confirms the exact app, bundle ID, version, build number, and account.

Workflow

  1. Identify the app target, scheme, bundle ID, version, build, and signing mode.
  2. Run scripts/ios_preflight.sh or equivalent local checks.
  3. Verify metadata, screenshots, legal URLs, privacy answers, and reviewer notes.
  4. Archive with xcodebuild archive.
  5. Export with xcodebuild -exportArchive using app-store-connect export options.
  6. Upload with Fastlane, altool, notarytool/transporter, or Xcode Organizer.
  7. Wait for processing before attaching a build or submitting review.
  8. Submit only after final confirmation.

Read references/release-runbook.md before performing release work.

Credential Rules

  • Use environment variables and local keychain/account state.
  • Do not print raw API keys, .p8 contents, certificates, provisioning profiles, or tokens.
  • Do not commit generated .ipa, .xcarchive, profiles, or private key files.

Common Release Checks

  • Release build compiles.
  • PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy exists when required APIs are used.
  • ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption is correctly set.
  • App icon catalog is configured.
  • Device family and orientations match App Store metadata.
  • IAP products referenced by the binary exist or gracefully hide when missing.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
