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-screenshot-pipeline 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 12d 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 Screenshot Pipeline

Before invoking Apple-only binaries, confirm the execution context is macOS. From Windows or Linux, run those steps in a Mac SSH project or through an already configured remote transport; do not retry missing Apple binaries locally.

Build/run the app, capture deterministic screenshots, frame them, review them, then upload through asc.

Defaults: settings .asc/screenshot.settings.json, plan .asc/screenshots.json, raw ./screenshots/raw, framed ./screenshots/framed, frame device iphone-air, Koubou 0.18.1.

Workflow

  1. Verify the current CLI surface with asc screenshots --help, subcommand help, and axe --version. If axe is missing, install it with brew install cameroncooke/axe/axe or run ./scripts/install-deps.sh --profile screenshots.

  2. Create/update settings with bundle id, project/scheme, UDID, paths, frame_enabled, upload_enabled, and upload target.

  3. Build/install/launch:

    xcrun simctl boot "$UDID" || true
    xcodebuild -project "App.xcodeproj" -scheme "App" -configuration Debug \
      -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,id=$UDID" -derivedDataPath ".build/DerivedData" build
    xcrun simctl install "$UDID" ".build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/App.app"
    xcrun simctl launch "$UDID" "com.example.app"
    

    Use xcodebuild -showBuildSettings if the bundle path differs.

  4. Capture with plan:

    asc screenshots run --plan ".asc/screenshots.json" --udid "$UDID" --output json
    

    During plan authoring use AXe primitives: axe describe-ui, axe tap, axe type, axe screenshot.

  5. Frame with pinned Koubou:

    pip install koubou==0.18.1
    kou --version
    asc screenshots list-frame-devices --output json
    asc screenshots frame --input "./screenshots/raw/home.png" --output-dir "./screenshots/framed" --device "iphone-air" --output json
    

    If frames are missing, run kou setup-frames once with network access.

  6. Review:

    asc screenshots review-generate --framed-dir "./screenshots/framed" --output-dir "./screenshots/review"
    asc screenshots review-open --output-dir "./screenshots/review"
    asc screenshots review-approve --all-ready --output-dir "./screenshots/review"

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.
