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

appstore-release-planner 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.

App Store Release Planner

Use this as the decision front door for App Store release readiness. Do not duplicate the execution workflow here; after the decision, read the focused skill that owns the next action.

Routing

  • Use appstore-release-director when the user wants an end-to-end release from local repo through upload, TestFlight, review, and evidence.
  • Use appstore-review-readiness for concrete validation, staging/submission, status monitoring, cancellation, and blocker repair commands.
  • Use appstore-archive-uploader when the next unresolved step is version/build numbering, archive, export, upload, or processed build selection.
  • Use appstore-metadata-sync, appstore-screenshot-validator, appstore-signing-setup, appstore-pricing-planner, appstore-subscription-localizer, or appstore-testflight-coordinator when the blocker is clearly in that narrower surface.

Answer Order

  1. Ready now or not.
  2. Blocking issues.
  3. Public API fixes vs experimental web-session/manual fixes.
  4. Next exact command.

Resolve APP_ID, version, VERSION_ID, and BUILD_ID; ensure asc auth login or ASC_*; use canonical ./metadata when staging.

Decision Path

  1. Establish release target: app, platform, version, build, submission state, and whether this is a first submission.
  2. Check whether the next missing evidence belongs to metadata, screenshots, signing, pricing/availability, subscriptions/IAP, App Privacy, review details, Game Center, build processing, or review status.
  3. If the version looks action-ready or needs command proof, switch to appstore-review-readiness and follow its current asc command workflow.
  4. If the user only needs an executive answer, report ready/not-ready, blockers, public-API fixes versus experimental web-session/manual fixes, and the next focused skill/command owner.

First-Submission Blockers

  • Availability missing: public edit commands may work after initial availability exists; bootstrap can require an experimental web-session or manual ASC action.
  • Subscriptions ready but not attached to first review: later reviews can use public subscription review paths; first review attachment can require an experimental web-session or manual ASC action.
  • IAP review readiness: public IAP validation/submission paths cover most cases; selecting IAPs with the first app version can require an experimental web-session or manual ASC action.
  • Game Center: create app-version records and add component versions through explicit review submission items before submit.
  • App Privacy: public API cannot fully prove publish state; use asc web privacy pull/plan/apply/publish or manual App Store Connect confirmation.
  • Review details: only set demo account fields when review truly needs them.

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.
