What it does

Asc Xcode Build is an agent skill from CamilleScholtz/swmpc. Build, archive, export, upload, and manage Xcode version/build numbers with the current asc xcode helpers before App Store Connect upload or submission. Use when creating an IPA or PKG for upload.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development and App store release. It works with Xcode, App Store Connect and macOS. The repository describes itself as: An MPD client for macOS & iOS.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating an IPA
  • Tasks that involve iOS development
  • Tasks that involve App store release

Example prompts

  • “/asc-xcode-build”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Archive with asc
  2. Export with asc
  3. Upload or publish

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51fa7cb. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • xcodebuild

    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

Asc Xcode Build loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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

Its licence (EUPL-1.2) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 335 words (~1,245 tokens).

“Use this skill when you need to build an app from source and prepare it for App Store Connect. Prefer asc xcode archive and asc xcode export over raw xcodebuild recipes when they fit the project.”
