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

asc-audit 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 8d 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.

ASC Drift Audit

This skill answers one question: is what we believe still true?

It is not a rule checker and not a fixer. It diffs three sources of truth — live ASC, the repo, and what the project's launch/submission docs claim — and reports where they disagree. Every fix is a human decision, except an unambiguous doc correction (a stale fact restated to match live state) with no submission-strategy judgment involved — apply those, flag everything else.

asc_audit({
  app_id: "<App Store Connect App ID, from asc_list_apps>",
  repo_build: "<optional: expected build number from the repo>",
  repo_version: "<optional: expected marketing version from the repo>",
  runbook_path: "<optional: path to a canonical launch/state doc for freshness check>"
})

Why this exists

Two independent incidents, in two different apps, six weeks apart, found the same shape of silent drift:

Drift Silent for
A version's draft was attached to an old build while several newer builds shipped past it ~6 days
Release-notes text identical across many builds (copied forward, not rewritten) 8+ builds
A TestFlight feedback email pointing at a stale/wrong domain unknown
A canonical "where we stand" doc presenting old state as current 6 days
A version actually REJECTED in ASC while the canonical doc still said WAITING_FOR_REVIEW 3 days, 8 builds
Live ASC review notes naming a build number 8 versions stale, and missing a disclosure paragraph the local doc had unknown, at least 8 builds

None of these were knowledge gaps. The information needed to catch each one was already sitting in a doc or a teammate's memory. The drift happened anyway because every other ASC skill is a forward action — a ship skill uploads, a beta-distribution skill attaches, submission-preflight runs once at submission time. Nothing ever goes back and re-checks what's actually true on Apple's servers right now. That is the gap this fills.

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.
