What it does
App Store Deploy is an agent skill from romankurnovskii/BrewMate. Automates the build and deployment of the Electron app to the Mac App Store and TestFlight.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `resources/troubleshooting.md` and `scripts/deploy.sh`).
It sits in Mobile, covering App store release and Deployment. It works with App Store Connect, macOS, Electron and Homebrew. The repository describes itself as: Homebrew GUI apps manager. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve App store release
- Tasks that involve Deployment
Example prompts
- “Use the app-store-deploy skill to automate the build and deployment of the Electron app to the Mac App Store and TestFlight”
- “/app-store-deploy”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c581aff. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmxcrun
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
appleid.apple.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
App Store Deploy loads about 813 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 333 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:15
- **Environment Variables**: A `.env` file must contain: - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:34
1. **Loads credentials** from `.env`.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Skill: App Store Deployment
This skill automates the versioning, building, and uploading of the BrewMate application to TestFlight / Mac App Store. It ensures that the app is properly signed and distributed using the correct Mac App Store (MAS) provisioning profiles and developer certificates.
Prerequisites
- macOS Environment: The deployment must be run on a Mac with Xcode command-line tools installed.
- Developer Certificates: Ensure "3rd Party Mac Developer Application" and "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer" certificates are in your System Keychain.
- Provisioning Profile: A valid profile must be present at
.credentials/BrewMate_Distribution.provisionprofile. - Environment Variables: A
.envfile must contain:APPLE_ID: Your Apple Developer email.APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD: An app-specific password generated from appleid.apple.com.
- Tooling:
jqmust be installed for version management.
Automated Workflow
The easiest way to deploy is using the provided script:
# Deploys with automatic patch version increment (1.0.x -> 1.0.x+1)
./.agents/skills/app-store-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh
# Deploys with a specific version
./.agents/skills/app-store-deploy/scripts/deploy.sh 1.0.15What the script does:
- Loads credentials from
.env. - Determines target version (either auto-increments current patch version or uses specified parameter).
- Runs MAS Universal Build: Executes the project's native build script
./scripts/build-mas-universal.sh(ornpm run build:mas) which compiles TypeScript, sets up code-signing with your 3rd Party Mac Developer certificates, and packages a signed.pkgfile. - Uploads to TestFlight: Submits the generated bundle to App Store Connect using
xcrun altool --upload-app.
Manual Deployment Steps
If you need to perform steps manually:
1. Build for MAS
Run the following command to generate a signed .pkg file under dist-app/:
npm run build:mas2. Upload to TestFlight
Use altool to upload the generated package:
xcrun altool --upload-app --type macos --file "dist-app/mas-universal/BrewMate-[version]-universal.pkg" --username "$APPLE_ID" --password "$APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD"Alternatively, you can open the generated package in the macOS Transporter application for a visual upload:
npm run submit:masTroubleshooting
- Signing Errors: Ensure your Keychain is unlocked. Run
security unlock-keychainif necessary. - Validation Errors (409): Usually due to a version conflict in App Store Connect. Ensure you have bumped the version or build number.
- Architecture Mismatch: Ensure you are using the
--universalflag (automatically handled by the build-mas script).
Success Checklist
- Version bumped in
package.json. - Universal binary built and signed successfully.
-
.pkgfile generated indist-app/mas-universal/. - Upload to TestFlight/App Store Connect completed successfully.
- Changes committed to the repository.
