At a glance

Sync and validate App Store metadata and localizations with asc, including legacy metadata format migration.

  • Works in 2 steps: Version Localizations (per-release) → App Info Localizations (app-level)
  • Updating metadata
  • SKILL.md covers Two Types of Localizations, Legacy Fastlane Metadata…, Quick Field Updates and .strings File Format, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Asc Metadata Sync is an agent skill from n0an/VivaDicta. Sync and validate App Store metadata and localizations with asc, including legacy metadata format migration. Use when updating metadata or translations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization, App store release and Translation. The repository describes itself as: iOS & watchOS speech-to-text app with AI voice keyboard, on-device RAG, and chat with your notes - powered by Apple Foundation Models, WhisperKit, NVIDIA Parakeet, and 20+ AI…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating metadata
  • Tasks that involve Internationalization
  • Tasks that involve App store release

Example prompts

  • “/asc-metadata-sync”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Version Localizations (per-release)
  2. App Info Localizations (app-level)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b141304. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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 Metadata Sync loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
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.

asc metadata sync

Use this skill to keep local metadata in sync with App Store Connect.

Two Types of Localizations

1. Version Localizations (per-release)

Fields: description, keywords, whatsNew, supportUrl, marketingUrl, promotionalText

bash
# List version localizations
asc localizations list --version "VERSION_ID"

# Download
asc localizations download --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations"

# Upload from .strings files
asc localizations upload --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations"
2. App Info Localizations (app-level)

Fields: name, subtitle, privacyPolicyUrl, privacyChoicesUrl, privacyPolicyText

bash
# First, find the app info ID
asc apps info list --app "APP_ID"

# List app info localizations
asc localizations list --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID"

# Upload app info localizations
asc localizations upload --app "APP_ID" --type app-info --app-info "APP_INFO_ID" --path "./app-info-localizations"

Note: If you get "multiple app infos found", you must specify --app-info with the correct ID.

Legacy Fastlane Metadata Workflow

Export current state
bash
asc migrate export --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --output-dir "./fastlane"
Validate local files
bash
asc migrate validate --fastlane-dir "./fastlane"

This checks character limits and required fields.

Import updates
bash
asc migrate import --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --fastlane-dir "./fastlane" --dry-run
asc migrate import --app "APP_ID" --version-id "VERSION_ID" --fastlane-dir "./fastlane"

Quick Field Updates

Version-specific fields
bash
# What's New
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --locale "en-US" --whats-new "Bug fixes and improvements"

# Description
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --locale "en-US" --description "Your app description here"

# Keywords
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --locale "en-US" --keywords "keyword1,keyword2,keyword3"

# Support URL
asc apps info edit --app "APP_ID" --locale "en-US" --support-url "https://support.example.com"
Version metadata
bash
# Copyright
asc versions update --version-id "VERSION_ID" --copyright "2026 Your Company"

# Release type
asc versions update --version-id "VERSION_ID" --release-type AFTER_APPROVAL
TestFlight notes
bash
asc build-localizations create --build "BUILD_ID" --locale "en-US" --whats-new "TestFlight notes here"

.strings File Format

For bulk updates, use .strings files:

// en-US.strings
"description" = "Your app description";
"keywords" = "keyword1,keyword2,keyword3";
"whatsNew" = "What's new in this version";
"supportUrl" = "https://support.example.com";

For app-info type:

// en-US.strings (app-info type)
"privacyPolicyUrl" = "https://example.com/privacy";
"name" = "Your App Name";
"subtitle" = "Your subtitle";

Multi-Language Workflow

  1. Export all localizations:
bash
asc localizations download --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations"

  1. Translate the .strings files (or use translation service)

  2. Upload all at once:

bash
asc localizations upload --version "VERSION_ID" --path "./localizations"
  1. Verify:
bash
asc localizations list --version "VERSION_ID" --output table

Character Limits

FieldLimit
Name30
Subtitle30
Keywords100 (comma-separated)
Description4000
What's New4000
Promotional Text170

Use asc metadata validate --dir "./metadata" for canonical metadata trees. Use asc migrate validate --fastlane-dir "./fastlane" for legacy fastlane-format metadata.

Notes

  • Version localizations and app info localizations are different; use the right command and --type flag.
  • Use asc localizations list to confirm available locales and IDs.
  • Privacy Policy URL is in app info localizations, not version localizations.
