At a glance

Build, archive, export, and manage Xcode version/build numbers with asc and xcodebuild before uploading to App Store Connect.

  • Works in 6 steps: Clean and Archive → Export IPA → Upload with asc → …
  • You need to create an IPA
  • SKILL.md covers Preconditions, Manage version and build…, iOS Build Flow and macOS Build Flow, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls xcodebuild; reaches apple.com

What it does

Asc Xcode Build is an agent skill from malpern/VoxClaw. Build, archive, export, and manage Xcode version/build numbers with asc and xcodebuild before uploading to App Store Connect. Use when you need to create an IPA or PKG for upload.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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: Give OpenClaw a voice — Let your agent speak from any Mac on your network.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to create an IPA
  • Tasks that involve iOS development
  • Tasks that involve App store release

Example prompts

  • “/asc-xcode-build”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Clean and Archive
  2. Export IPA
  3. Upload with asc
  4. Archive
  5. Export PKG
  6. Upload PKG with asc

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a1cb0f. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • apple.com

    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 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 327 words (~1,036 tokens).

“Use this skill when you need to build an app from source and prepare it for upload to App Store Connect.”
