Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/The-Artificer-of-Ciphers-LLC/skills-from-the-artificernpx agentmods add skills/the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/asc-localize-metadataWrote this? Show the measurements
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.

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 | $0.00060 | $0.02746 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.01098 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00549 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00275 |
Grade A, and why
asc-localize-metadata 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 11d 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.
This is a copy
97% identical to asc-localize-metadata — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
asc localize metadata
Use this skill to pull English (or any source locale) App Store metadata, translate it with LLM, and push translations back to App Store Connect — all automated.
Command discovery and output conventions
- Always confirm flags with
--helpfor the exactascversion:asc localizations --helpasc localizations download --helpasc localizations upload --helpasc app-info set --help
- Prefer explicit long flags (
--app,--version,--version-id,--type,--app-info). - Default output is JSON; use
--output tableonly for human verification steps. - Prefer deterministic ID-based operations. Do not "pick the first row" via
head -1unless the user explicitly agrees.
Preconditions
- Auth configured (
asc auth loginorASC_*env vars) - Know your app ID (
asc apps listto find it) - At least one locale (typically en-US) already has metadata in App Store Connect
Supported Locales
App Store Connect locales for version and app-info localizations:
ar-SA, ca, cs, da, de-DE, el, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US,
es-ES, es-MX, fi, fr-CA, fr-FR, he, hi, hr, hu, id, it,
ja, ko, ms, nl-NL, no, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, ru, sk,
sv, th, tr, uk, vi, zh-Hans, zh-Hant
Two Types of Metadata
Version Localizations (per-release)
Fields: description, keywords, whatsNew, supportUrl, marketingUrl, promotionalText
App Info Localizations (app-level, persistent)
Fields: name, subtitle, privacyPolicyUrl, privacyChoicesUrl, privacyPolicyText
Workflow
Step 1: Resolve IDs
# Find app ID
asc apps list --output table
# Find latest version ID
asc versions list --app "APP_ID" --state READY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION --output table
# or for editable version:
asc versions list --app "APP_ID" --state PREPARE_FOR_SUBMISSION --output table
# Find app info ID (for app-level fields like name/subtitle)
asc app-infos list --app "APP_ID" --output table
Notes:
- Version-localization fields (description, keywords, whatsNew, etc.) are per-version.
- App-info fields (name, subtitle, privacy URLs/text) are app-level and use
--type app-info. - If you only have names (app name, version string) and need IDs deterministically, use
asc-id-resolver.
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-localize-metadata is a skill published in the GitHub repository The-Artificer-of-Ciphers-LLC/skills-from-the-artificer (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 2,746 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 97% identical to asc-localize-metadata, differing in 21 lines, and is treated as a copy.
