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-submission-health 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Store submission health

Use this skill to explain why a release cannot proceed and to manage an existing review submission. Hand healthy release execution back to asc-release-flow.

Ownership boundary

This skill owns:

  • readiness validation and blocker diagnosis;
  • public-API, web-session, and manual repair routing;
  • review status and history;
  • cancellation and retry decisions.

Use asc-release-flow for staging, upload, publication, and submission. Switching skills continues the current task with its resolved targets, authorization, and verified progress; it does not require the user to restart the workflow. Continue authorized repairs and return to release execution when healthy. Ask for new authority only when a repair exceeds scope.

Answer order

  1. State whether the version is ready, blocked, or already under review.
  2. Name each blocker and the evidence that proves it.
  3. Separate public-API repairs from web-session and manual work.
  4. Run the read-only checks needed to establish the diagnosis. For diagnosis-only requests, report the evidence and one proposed repair command without executing that repair. For authorized execution, continue the repair queue and report completed work and remaining blockers.

Establish the target

  • Resolve APP_ID, the version string or VERSION_ID, BUILD_ID, platform, and any known SUBMISSION_ID.
  • Configure auth with asc auth login or ASC_* environment variables.
  • Use ASC_BYPASS_KEYCHAIN=1 only for repository tests and isolated verification, not normal user sessions.
  • Prefer IDs once the target is resolved; stop when app, version, or product resolution is ambiguous.

Diagnose readiness

Run the canonical readiness report first:

asc validate --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --output table

Use --version-id "VERSION_ID" when known. Add --strict when warnings must fail automation.

Ask the review-specific doctor for an ordered explanation:

asc review doctor --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --platform IOS --output table

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.
