asc-build-lifecycle

asc-build-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moasq/ios-dev-agent. It costs 34 tokens per session (373 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of appstore-build-monitor, MIT.

A guide for managing uploaded Apple App Store builds, including processing, TestFlight availability, publishing, and expiration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the latest or next build number, inspect processing status, publish to TestFlight or the App Store, and preview or remove expired builds.
Why use it?
It helps track which build is ready and reduces confusion around Apple's processing delays and old-build cleanup.

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-build-lifecycle 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to appstore-build-monitor — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

asc build lifecycle

Use this skill to manage build state, processing, and retention.

Find the right build

  • Latest build:
    • asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS
  • Next safe build number:
    • asc builds next-build-number --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS
  • Recent builds:
    • asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --sort -uploadedDate --limit 10

Inspect processing state

  • asc builds info --build-id "BUILD_ID"

Distribution flows

  • Prefer end-to-end:
    • asc publish testflight --app "APP_ID" --ipa "./app.ipa" --group "GROUP_ID" --wait
    • asc publish appstore --app "APP_ID" --ipa "./app.ipa" --version "1.2.3" --wait --submit --confirm

Cleanup

  • Preview expiration:
    • asc builds expire-all --app "APP_ID" --older-than 90d --dry-run
  • Apply expiration:
    • asc builds expire-all --app "APP_ID" --older-than 90d --confirm
  • Single build:
    • asc builds expire --build-id "BUILD_ID" --confirm

Notes

  • asc builds upload prepares upload operations only; use asc publish for end-to-end flows.
  • For long processing times, use --wait, --poll-interval, and --timeout where supported.
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.
