Available Skills

asc-cli-usage

Guidance for running asc commands (canonical verbs, flags, pagination, output, auth).

Use when:

• You need the correct asc command or flag combination
• You want JSON-first output and pagination tips for automation
• You need Apple Ads command, auth, org, payload, or pagination guidance

Example:

Find the right asc command to list all builds for app 123456789 as JSON and paginate through everything.

asc-apple-ads

Apple Ads auth, org lookup, campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, reports, raw API calls, and safe live testing.

Use when:

• You need to read or change Apple Ads resources with asc ads
• You need Apple Ads OAuth, profile, or ASC_ADS_* guidance
• You need a safe read-first plan before mutating a live Ads account

Example:

Find my Apple Ads org, list campaigns as JSON, and draft a safe plan before creating any test campaign.

asc-workflow

Define and run repo-local automation graphs using asc workflow and .asc/workflow.json.

Use when:

• You are migrating from lane-based automation to repo-local workflows
• You need multi-step orchestration with machine-parseable JSON output for CI/agents
• You need hooks (before_all, after_all, error), conditionals (if), and private helper sub-workflows
• You want validation (asc workflow validate) with cycle/reference checks before execution

Example:

Create an asc workflow that stages a release, validates it, and only submits when CONFIRM_RELEASE=true.

asc-app-create-ui

Create a new App Store Connect app via browser automation when no API exists.

Use when:

• You need to create an app record (name, bundle ID, SKU, primary language)
• You are comfortable logging in to App Store Connect in a real browser

Example:

Create a new App Store Connect app for com.example.myapp with SKU MYAPP123 and primary language English (U.S.).

asc-xcode-build

Build, archive, export, and manage Xcode version/build numbers before uploading.

Use when:

• You need to create an IPA or PKG for upload
• You're setting up CI/CD build pipelines
• You need to configure ExportOptions.plist
• You're troubleshooting encryption compliance issues

Example:

Archive and export my macOS app as a PKG I can upload to App Store Connect.

asc-shots-pipeline

Agent-first screenshot pipeline using xcodebuild/simctl, AXe, JSON plans, asc screenshots frame (experimental), and asc screenshots upload.

Use when:

• You need a repeatable simulator screenshot automation flow
• You want AXe-based UI driving before capture
• You need a staged pipeline (capture -> frame -> upload)
• You need to discover supported frame devices (asc screenshots list-frame-devices)
• You want pinned Koubou guidance for deterministic framing (koubou==0.18.1)

Example:

Build my iOS app, capture the home and settings screens in the simulator, frame them, and prepare them for upload.

asc-release-flow

Readiness-first App Store submission guidance, including asc validate, asc release stage, asc review submit, and first-time release blockers.

Use when:

• You want the quickest answer to "can I submit this app now?"
• You need to separate API-fixable, web-session-fixable, and manual blockers
• You're handling first-time submission issues around availability, IAPs, subscriptions, Game Center, or App Privacy

Example:

Check whether version 2.4.0 of my iOS app is ready for App Store submission, show the blockers, and tell me the next `asc` command to run.

asc-signing-setup

Bundle IDs, capabilities, certificates, provisioning profiles, and encrypted signing sync.

Use when:

• You are onboarding a new app or bundle ID
• You need to create or rotate signing assets

Example:

Set up signing for com.example.app with iCloud enabled, a distribution certificate, and an App Store profile.

asc-id-resolver

Resolve IDs for apps, builds, versions, groups, and testers.

Use when:

• A command requires IDs and you only have names
• You want deterministic outputs for automation

Example:

Resolve the App Store Connect app ID, latest build ID, and TestFlight group IDs for MyApp.

asc-metadata-sync

Metadata and localization sync (including legacy metadata format migration).
