What it does
Ideploy Publish is an agent skill from andforce/octrix. Build, sign, publish, and deliver a registered-device iOS app through the iDeploy CLI and private TOS-backed server. Use when the user asks to install the current Xcode project or an existing IPA on their registered iPhone, publish a development build, verify the iDeploy pipeline, or generate an iDeploy device pairing code.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with Xcode and iOS.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to install the current Xcode project
- An existing IPA on their registered iPhone
- Publish a development build
- Verify the iDeploy pipeline
Example prompts
- “/ideploy-publish”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the repository's AGENTS.md and confirm the current directory contains the intended Xcode project or workspace.
- Run ideploy doctor --json. Report failed checks without printing credentials.
- For a current project, run ideploy deploy --json. Add --dry-run only when the user requests a preview and --no-push only when explicitly…
- For an existing IPA, run ideploy publish /absolute/path/to/App.ipa --json.
- Parse the JSON result and report the release ID, publish status, and queued push count. Never print bearer tokens or TOS signed URLs.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb2dc8e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ideploy Publish loads about 443 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 207 words (~443 tokens).
“Use ideploy as the only implementation. Do not reproduce Xcode, TOS, API, or signing logic in ad hoc scripts.”
