asc-cli-usage

asc-cli-usage is a skill for Claude Code from rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using the asc command-line tool for App Store Connect, Apple's service for managing apps, builds, pricing, and releases. It explains how to discover commands, inspect API fields, and check which workflows the tool supports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find asc commands, inspect endpoint schemas, list or view app builds and versions, check capability coverage, and design App Store Connect automation.
Why use it?
It helps developers avoid guessing command names or API fields and shows when a workflow is limited by Apple's public API.

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-cli-usage 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 6d 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.

asc cli usage

Use this skill when you need to run or design asc commands for App Store Connect.

Command discovery

  • Always use --help to discover commands and flags.
    • asc --help
    • asc builds --help
    • asc builds list --help
  • Use asc search for local, deterministic command discovery when you know the workflow but not the command path.
    • asc search "submit app for review"
    • asc search --output table "upload build"
  • Use asc schema to inspect bundled App Store Connect endpoint schemas and request/query fields before designing API-facing commands.
    • asc schema --pretty "GET /v1/apps"
    • asc schema --method POST appStoreVersions
  • Use asc capabilities to explain CLI-supported, partial, web-session, and public-API-limited workflow coverage.
    • asc capabilities --area release --output table
    • asc capabilities --status web-session --output table
    • asc capabilities --status not-public-api --output markdown

Canonical verbs (current asc)

  • Prefer view over legacy get aliases for read-only commands in docs and automation.
    • asc apps view --id "APP_ID"
    • asc versions view --version-id "VERSION_ID"
    • asc pricing availability view --app "APP_ID"
  • Prefer edit for update-only availability surfaces and other canonical edit flows.
    • asc pricing availability edit --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true
    • asc app-setup availability edit --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true
    • asc xcode version edit --build-number "42"
  • Use asc pricing availability create to initialize app availability before using the update-only edit command. If Apple rejects the public-API bootstrap, authenticate a web session and use asc web apps availability create, or configure Pricing and Availability in App Store Connect.
    • asc pricing availability create --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true --available-in-new-territories true
    • asc web apps availability create --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available-in-new-territories true
  • Keep set where the CLI intentionally models a higher-level replacement/configuration flow and --help still shows set as the canonical verb.

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.
