Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00078 | $0.03160 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01580 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00632 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00316 |
Grade A, and why
asc-submission 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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 262 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ASC Submission
Prepare apps for App Store review or TestFlight distribution using the App Store Connect MCP server.
Workflows
Workflow A: Full Submission Readiness Check
When the user asks to prepare or check submission readiness, run steps 1–2 sequentially then dispatch parallel validation.
-
Get app ID: Call
asc_list_appsand find the app by name/bundle ID. -
Check version exists: Call
asc_list_versionsto find a version in PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION state. If none exists, create one withasc_create_version. -
Parallel validation — dispatch two agents simultaneously:
Coordinator (you)
├─► Agent A — Signing + Readiness check [Fast tier: claude-haiku-4-5 / gpt-4.1-mini / gemini-3.0-flash / kimi-for-coding]
└─► Agent B — Local entitlements scan [Fast tier: claude-haiku-4-5 / gpt-4.1-mini / gemini-3.0-flash / kimi-for-coding]
│
▼ (both complete)
Coordinator — aggregate results, report missing items, offer to fix
Agent A prompt:
Check submission readiness for app ID: <app_id>
1. Call asc_check_signing with bundle IDs: <list>
and expected capabilities from the entitlements scan (provided by Agent B)
2. Call asc_check_submission with app ID: <app_id>
Report:
- SIGNING: OK / ISSUES (list mismatches)
- METADATA: OK / MISSING (list required fields)
- SCREENSHOTS: OK / MISSING (list devices/locales)
- OVERALL: READY / BLOCKED (list blockers)
Agent B prompt:
Read local entitlements files and report capabilities for each bundle ID.
1. Find all .entitlements files: find <app-dir> -name "*.entitlements"
2. For each file, extract: app group identifiers, capability keys, bundle ID
3. Return a map: { bundleId: [capability1, capability2, ...] }
This output feeds Agent A's signing check.
- Report missing items and offer to fix them.
Workflow B: Update Metadata
When the user asks to update metadata, what's new, or description:
- Get app and version:
asc_list_appsthenasc_list_versions(find PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION version).
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.

asc-submission is a skill published in the GitHub repository markdavidgan/apple-dev-skills (5 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 3,160 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
