A skill for building, testing, archiving and distributing iOS apps from the command line. It covers Xcode's build tools, Fastlane automation, code signing and TestFlight, Apple's service for distributing test versions of apps.

Use it to build or test an iOS app, create an archive, configure continuous integration, resolve signing issues, automate release steps or send a build to TestFlight.

It provides a documented path for common iOS release tasks and separates development builds, distribution archives, signing problems and TestFlight delivery.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00030	$0.00518
Opus 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00207
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00104
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00052

Security

Grade A, and why

ios-ci-cd 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 2mo 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 CI/CD

An agent skill for building, testing, archiving, and deploying iOS apps from the command line.

When to Activate

User asks to build, test, or archive an iOS app
User asks about CI/CD setup for iOS
User asks about code signing, Fastlane, or TestFlight
User runs /ios-build or /ios-archive

Common Workflow Sequences

Local development build + test:

xcodebuild build -workspace App.xcworkspace -scheme App -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16' | xcpretty
xcodebuild test -workspace App.xcworkspace -scheme App -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16' | xcpretty

CI: Build, test, archive, upload:

fastlane match appstore --readonly
fastlane scan
fastlane gym
fastlane pilot upload

Files

What ships with it

4 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.
