What it does

Hot Updater QA Ship is an agent skill from gronxb/codex-relay. Deploy the current Modex iOS app version with Hot Updater for QA-only delivery. Use when the user invokes $hot-updater-qa-ship or asks to ship the current iOS OTA to one target cohort only, with rollout 0.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 and Deployment. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: Use Codex from your phone while the real work stays on your computer. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user invokes $hot-updater-qa-ship
  • Asks to ship the current iOS OTA to one target cohort only

Example prompts

  • “/hot-updater-qa-ship”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(pnpm:*)

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Work from the mobile app directory
  2. Read the current native app versions
  3. Extract the current ios app version. Treat numeric JSON values as strings
  4. Deploy the current iOS app version with rollout 0
  5. Wait for the deploy command to finish. Success requires build complete,
  6. Extract from the ID` row in the deployment summary.
  7. Attach the target cohort to that exact Bundle without prompting

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3d7b950. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(pnpm:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • bundle

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Hot Updater QA Ship loads about 818 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~818

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.

Hot Updater QA Ship

Deploy the current iOS OTA bundle to the configured production channel with rollout 0, then attach exactly one target cohort to the newly created Bundle.

Required Input

Ask the user for only the target cohort when it is not already provided. Do not ask for platform, channel, rollout, or app version.

Target cohort rules:

  • Trim surrounding whitespace.
  • Reject empty values.
  • Accept only one cohort value. If the user provides multiple values, ask for a single cohort.
  • Pass the cohort to Hot Updater exactly as the validated trimmed string.

Workflow

  1. Work from the mobile app directory:
bash
cd apps/mobile
  1. Read the current native app versions:
bash
pnpm hot-updater app-version --json
  1. Extract the current ios app version. Treat numeric JSON values as strings when passing them to the CLI. If --json is not supported, run pnpm hot-updater app-version and parse the iOS version from the human-readable output.

  2. Deploy the current iOS app version with rollout 0:

bash
pnpm hot-updater deploy -p ios -t <ios-app-version> -r 0
  1. Wait for the deploy command to finish. Success requires build complete, storage upload complete, database update complete, and Deployment Successful (<bundle-id>).

  2. Extract <bundle-id> from the ID row in the deployment summary.

  3. Attach the target cohort to that exact Bundle without prompting:

bash
pnpm hot-updater bundle update <bundle-id> --target-cohorts "<target-cohort>" -y

Use --json as well when you want machine-readable confirmation from the update command:

bash
pnpm hot-updater bundle update <bundle-id> --target-cohorts "<target-cohort>" -y --json
  1. Verify the Bundle state:
bash
pnpm hot-updater bundle show <bundle-id> --json

Confirm the resulting Bundle has id equal to the deployed Bundle ID, platform equal to ios, target_app_version equal to the current iOS app version, rollout_cohort_count equal to 0, and target_cohorts equal to an array containing exactly the requested target cohort.

Failure Handling

  • If the app version command fails, report the error and do not deploy.
  • If deploy fails, stop immediately. Do not run bundle update.
  • If the deployment summary does not contain a Bundle ID, run pnpm hot-updater bundle list -p ios --target-app-version <ios-app-version> --limit 5 --json and identify the newly created Bundle before updating it.
  • If the Bundle ID is unavailable, stop rather than guessing which Bundle was created.
  • If bundle update fails, report the Bundle ID and update error.
  • If verification fails, report the mismatch and Bundle ID.

Notes

  • This skill always targets iOS.
  • This skill always uses rollout 0.
  • This skill uses the Hot Updater default channel, currently production, unless the repo configuration or CLI default changes.
  • Do not hardcode an app version. Always read the current iOS version at deploy time.
