## What it does

The skill is a working reference for the `asc` CLI. The agent starts with `--help` on the right branch, and drops to `asc search` when it knows the workflow but not the command path. `asc schema` exposes the bundled App Store Connect endpoint schemas before a command gets written.

Canonical verbs are spelled out: `view` for reads instead of the legacy `get` aliases, `edit` for update-only surfaces such as pricing availability. That availability surface has to be created first with `pricing availability create`, or through `asc web apps availability create` when Apple rejects the public-API bootstrap. Flags go after the leaf subcommand, because parent groups reject them in the wrong place. Output is TTY-aware: table in an interactive terminal, JSON when piped, and `--pretty` only ever with JSON. Check exit status alongside stdout, since a failed batch can still emit partial receipts.

Auth runs through `asc auth login` into the keychain, with `ASC_KEY_ID` and `ASC_ISSUER_ID` as fallback. StoreKit reads sit under `asc storekit` with separate In-App Purchase keys. Before wiring this into CI, one thing to verify: a fresh non-interactive web sign-in needs `--two-factor-code-command` or `ASC_WEB_2FA_CODE_COMMAND`, and without either it fails before the password is sent.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-cli-usage -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/asc-cli-usage/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/asc-cli-usage/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-cli-usage -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/asc-cli-usage/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-cli-usage -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/asc-cli-usage/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills asc-cli-usage
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --path skills/asc-cli-usage
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/asc-cli-usage/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-cli-usage -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/asc-cli-usage/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find the right `asc` command when only the workflow is known
- pull every page of builds into one JSON payload
- turn app availability on for a set of territories
- work out which flags belong after the leaf subcommand
- set up a non-interactive Apple web sign-in for a script

## Example prompts
- Run `asc search "submit app for review"` and give me the exact command with its flags
- Add build listing to the deploy script with `asc builds list --paginate --output json`
- Check `asc capabilities --area release --output table` and tell me what the CLI actually covers

# asc cli usage

Use this skill when you need to run or design `asc` commands for App Store Connect.

## Command discovery
- Always use `--help` to discover commands and flags.
  - `asc --help`
  - `asc builds --help`
  - `asc builds list --help`
- Use `asc search` for local, deterministic command discovery when you know the workflow but not the command path.
  - `asc search "submit app for review"`
  - `asc search --output table "upload build"`
- Use `asc schema` to inspect bundled App Store Connect endpoint schemas and request/query fields before designing API-facing commands.
  - `asc schema --pretty "GET /v1/apps"`
  - `asc schema --method POST appStoreVersions`
- Use `asc capabilities` to explain CLI-supported, partial, web-session, and public-API-limited workflow coverage.
  - `asc capabilities --area release --output table`
  - `asc capabilities --status web-session --output table`
  - `asc capabilities --status not-public-api --output markdown`

## Canonical verbs (current asc)
- Prefer `view` over legacy `get` aliases for read-only commands in docs and automation.
  - `asc apps view --id "APP_ID"`
  - `asc versions view --version-id "VERSION_ID"`
  - `asc pricing availability view --app "APP_ID"`
- Prefer `edit` for update-only availability surfaces and other canonical edit flows.
  - `asc pricing availability edit --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true`
  - `asc app-setup availability edit --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true`
  - `asc xcode version edit --build-number "42"`
- Use `asc pricing availability create` to initialize app availability before using the update-only `edit` command. If Apple rejects the public-API bootstrap, authenticate a web session and use `asc web apps availability create`, or configure Pricing and Availability in App Store Connect.
  - `asc pricing availability create --app "APP_ID" --territory "USA,GBR" --available true --available-in-new-territories true`
```
