# axiom-shipping A skill for App Store releases: pre-flight checklists, rejection and appeal handling, metadata, privacy manifests, and crash triage. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1400 installs · ★ 1229 - Author: CharlesWiltgen - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/HEAD/axiom-codex/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-20 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/axiom-shipping ## What it does The skill kicks in when you prepare an app for App Store submission, deal with a rejection under any guideline, write an appeal, or work on the release workflow. Routing is symptom-based: first submission, metadata requirements, age ratings, export compliance, EU DSA trader status, account deletion, and Sign in with Apple. Separate branches cover rejections under guidelines 2.1, 4.2 and 4.3, crash diagnostics from TestFlight and App Store Connect, symbolication of `.ips`, MetricKit and `.crash` logs, and App Store Connect automation over MCP. For production corpora from Sentry and ASC there are the `triage-analyzer` agent and `axiom-analyze-triage`. On Codex the auditors are invoked as skills: `axiom-audit-iap` and `axiom-scan-security-privacy`. Anything that shells out — builds, tests, simulators, crash symbolication — needs shell access to run. If hooks are off or you launched with `--bare`, the bundled tools live under `/tools/`. The skill also tracks App Store Connect changes from WWDC25 and WWDC26, including Product Page Header, Retention Messaging, and group subscriptions. ## Requirements - Works with: Sentry ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-shipping -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/axiom-shipping/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-shipping -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-shipping -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install CharlesWiltgen/Axiom axiom-shipping ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-shipping -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --path axiom-codex/skills/axiom-shipping ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add CharlesWiltgen/Axiom --skill axiom-shipping -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/CharlesWiltgen/Axiom/tree/HEAD/axiom-codex/skills/axiom-shipping/SKILL.md ## When to use it - run a pre-flight checklist before a first App Store submission - work out why a build was rejected under guideline 4.2 or 4.3 - write an appeal in the Resolution Center after repeated rejections - assemble a privacy manifest and Required Reason API declarations - symbolicate a crash corpus from TestFlight or Sentry ## Example prompts - Run the pre-submission checklist against my app - My app was rejected under guideline 4.3 — find the root cause and suggest a fix - Help me write an appeal after a third rejection ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
