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

ios-app-store-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 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.

iOS App Store Submission

Solo-developer pipeline for shipping iOS apps to the App Store. Two pipeline shapes:

  • Fastlane — own-your-pipeline, runs locally or on your CI. Right for native (Swift/UIKit) apps and bare React Native / Flutter / Capacitor projects without EAS.
  • EAS Build + Submit — Expo's hosted pipeline. Right for Expo apps and bare React Native projects already on EAS. Collapses Phases 1–4 into two CLI commands (eas build, eas submit).

Framework-aware build routing collapses to a single Xcode workspace (or a remote EAS build) before Phase 2; the rest of the pipeline is framework-agnostic.

Kernel: 11 axioms

  1. Apple changes the rules constantly. Xcode versions, App Review Guidelines, required-reason APIs, privacy-manifest rules, screenshot specs, and ITMS error codes all drift. The current source of truth is always App Store Connect + the live App Review Guidelines + the Xcode release notes for the version you're submitting from — never this skill. Verify before relying on any specific number, key name, or URL in the references.

  2. The .xcarchive is the choke point. Whatever the framework, Phase 2 must produce a valid archive with embedded dSYMs, a Distribution-signed binary, and a matching App Store provisioning profile. After that, the pipeline is identical regardless of framework.

  3. Signing failures masquerade as build failures. When gym or xcodebuild archive fails, suspect signing first: certificate expired, profile missing entitlement, bundle ID mismatch, "Automatically manage signing" fighting a manual profile, match repo out of sync. Read the exact error string in the log, not the build summary. Beware Xcode's cloud signing: a first archive can succeed without any local Distribution cert (Apple holds the key), then subsequent archives fail with No Accounts / No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found once the cloud session lapses. Always create a local cert before relying on automatic signing for repeat builds — see references/OPERATOR-PATTERNS.md OP-4 through OP-6.
