rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills is a community-maintained collection of Agent Skills for using the asc command-line tool with Apple App Store Connect and Apple Ads. It helps coding agents automate builds, TestFlight, metadata, submissions, signing, and advertising workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00071 | $0.01685 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00843 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00337 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00169 |
Grade A, and why
asc-release-flow 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
App Store release orchestration
Use this skill to carry a release from an approved plan to App Store review. Keep Game Center item preparation here; keep other blocker diagnosis and review recovery in asc-submission-health.
Ownership boundary
This skill owns:
- staging metadata and attaching a build;
- publishing an IPA or building locally;
- submitting a prepared version;
- assembling a multi-item review submission.
Use the preparation section for Game Center item preparation or attachment blockers. Use that reference's assembly and submission sections only after the app version is staged and the multi-item lane is selected. Switch to asc-submission-health for other validation blockers, a stuck submission, cancellation, or retry decisions.
Switch skills within the current task, preserving resolved targets, authorization, and verified progress. A failing gate blocks dependent mutations, not diagnosis or independent authorized work. Continue authorized repairs and resume this flow; request new authority only when repairs exceed the agreed scope.
Preconditions
- Resolve
APP_ID, the version string,VERSION_IDwhen needed, andBUILD_IDwhen a build already exists. - Configure auth with
asc auth loginorASC_*environment variables. - Confirm the intended platform. Use
IOSunless the app targets another platform. - Keep canonical metadata in
./metadatawhen the workflow applies metadata. - Require a dry run before a mutating high-level command, then require
--confirmfor submission.
Choose the release lane
| Intent | Command |
|---|---|
| Prepare metadata and attach an existing build without submitting | asc release stage |
| Submit an already prepared version | asc review submit |
| Upload an IPA or build locally, then optionally submit | asc publish appstore |
| Submit the app version with IAP, subscription, or Game Center version items | lower-level asc review submission commands |
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

asc-release-flow is a skill published in the GitHub repository rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills (1,020 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,685 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

asc-audit
Read-only drift check between live App Store Connect state, the repo, and whatever launch/submission docs claim.
