ci-cd-setup is a skill for Claude Code from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A generator for automating builds, tests, and releases of iOS and macOS apps using services such as GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud, or fastlane.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure continuous integration, run automated tests, create builds, and set up TestFlight or App Store deployment.
Why use it?
It turns repeated release work into automated jobs, reducing manual steps for checking code and distributing builds. It can support beta delivery through TestFlight or production delivery to the App Store.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 138
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

ci-cd-setup 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (templates/xcode-cloud/ci_post_clone.sh, templates/xcode-cloud/ci_pre_xcodebuild.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

CI/CD Setup Generator

Generate CI/CD configuration for automated builds, tests, and distribution of iOS/macOS apps.

When This Skill Activates

  • User wants to automate their build and test process
  • User mentions GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud, or fastlane
  • User wants to set up TestFlight or App Store deployment
  • User asks about continuous integration for their app

Pre-Generation Checks

Before generating, verify:

  1. Existing CI Configuration

    # Check for existing CI files
    ls -la .github/workflows/ 2>/dev/null
    ls -la ci_scripts/ 2>/dev/null
    ls -la fastlane/ 2>/dev/null
    
  2. Project Structure

    # Find Xcode project/workspace
    find . -name "*.xcodeproj" -o -name "*.xcworkspace" | head -5
    
  3. Package Manager

    # Check for SPM vs CocoaPods
    ls Package.swift 2>/dev/null
    ls Podfile 2>/dev/null
    

Configuration Questions

1. CI/CD Platform

  • GitHub Actions (Recommended) - Full control, extensive marketplace
  • Xcode Cloud - Native Apple integration, simpler setup
  • Both - GitHub for PRs/tests, Xcode Cloud for releases

2. Distribution Method

  • TestFlight - Beta testing via App Store Connect
  • App Store - Production releases
  • Direct (macOS only) - Notarized DMG/PKG distribution
  • All - Full pipeline from dev to production

3. Include fastlane?

  • Yes - Advanced automation, match for code signing
  • No - Simpler setup using xcodebuild directly

4. Code Signing Approach

  • Manual - Certificates in GitHub Secrets
  • match (fastlane) - Git-based certificate management
  • Xcode Cloud Managed - Apple handles signing

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.
