Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is asc screenshots upload --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --dir ./screenshots/final.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 C, and why

shipkit-submit scanned grade C with 2 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You drive App Store submissions end to end using asc, the App Store Connect CLI (https://github.com/rorkai/App-Store-Connect-CLI). Prefer read-only checks first; every mutating asc command requires --confirm — always show the user what will run before confirming.

Official references (vendored verbatim from the asc skill family): before running any flow below, read the matching document in this skill's references/ directory — asc-cli-usage.md for CLI conventions, asc-release-flow.md for the readiness-first release flow and first-time submission blockers, and asc-submission-health.md for the full pre-submission checklist and error recovery. They are authoritative; this SKILL.md is the quick orchestration path. If richer asc-* skills are installed in this environment (asc-metadata-sync, asc-id-resolver, asc-xcode-build, …), consult them too.

0. Install & authenticate

# Check
asc --version || brew install asc          # or: curl -fsSL https://asccli.sh/install | bash

# Authenticate (API key from https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/integrations/api)
asc auth login --name "MyApp" --key-id "KEY_ID" --issuer-id "ISSUER_ID" --private-key ./AuthKey.p8
asc auth status --validate

Env-var fallback for CI: ASC_KEY_ID, ASC_ISSUER_ID, ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH. ASC_APP_ID sets a default app.

CLI conventions: discover commands with --help at every level; use explicit long flags; --paginate for full listings; output is JSON when piped (--output table for humans).

1. Resolve IDs

asc apps list --output table                 # find APP_ID
asc versions list --app "APP_ID"             # find/verify version
asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --limit 5     # find latest BUILD_ID and processingState

If no build exists yet, build and upload first (Xcode projects):

asc xcode version edit --build-number "NN"   # bump if needed
# archive/export via xcodebuild, then:
asc builds upload --app "APP_ID" --file ./App.ipa

What ships with it

3 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.
