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.

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 | $0.00067 | $0.04733 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.02367 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00947 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00473 |
Grade A, and why
beta-testing 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 2d 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 — 502 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Beta Testing Strategy
End-to-end beta testing workflow for Apple platform apps — from TestFlight setup through feedback collection to launch readiness decision.
When This Skill Activates
Use this skill when the user:
- Wants to run a beta test or plan a beta program
- Needs to set up TestFlight for internal or external testing
- Asks how to collect user feedback during beta
- Wants to know if their app is ready to launch
- Needs help designing a beta feedback survey
- Asks "how many beta testers do I need?"
- Mentions "TestFlight", "beta testers", "soft launch", or "launch readiness"
- Wants to plan a structured beta rollout
- Needs a go/no-go framework for shipping
Process
Phase 1: TestFlight Program Strategy
Before recruiting testers, understand Apple's two-tier beta system.
Internal Testing
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Max testers | 100 team members, each on up to 30 devices |
| App Review required | No |
| Build availability | Immediate after upload — enable Automatic Distribution so every new build reaches the group without manual selection |
| Tester requirement | Must be App Store Connect users |
| Best for | Team, close collaborators, developer friends |
| Expiration | 90 days from build upload |
Use internal testing for:
- Catching crashes and obvious bugs before anyone else sees the app
- Validating core flows work end-to-end
- Getting feedback from people who will be honest (friends, fellow devs)
External Testing
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Max testers | 10,000 |
| App Review required | Yes — the first build (and builds with significant changes) pass Beta App Review, usually 24-48 hours |
| Build availability | After Beta App Review approval |
| Tester requirement | Anyone with an email address and iOS/macOS device |
| Best for | Real users, broader audience, validating product-market fit |
| Expiration | 90 days from build upload — plan your build cadence around it |
Use external testing for:
- Validating with real users who have no context about your app
- Stress-testing with diverse devices, OS versions, and usage patterns
- Gathering signal on whether the value proposition resonates
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.

beta-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills (700 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 4,733 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
