What it does

Privacy Publish is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. Turn drafted legal docs (privacy policy, terms) into hosted pages and set the App Store Connect Privacy Policy / Support / Marketing URLs via the ASC REST API. Use at Phase 6 / submission, after legal drafts exist. The App Privacy "nutrition label" stays manual (Apple exposes no API) — this prints the exact answers to click.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 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 Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR, App store release and Health and fitness tracking. It works with App Store Connect. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for Apple platform development (iOS, macOS, iPadOS) — product validation, code generation, App Store optimization, and more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR
  • Tasks that involve App store release
  • Tasks that involve Health and fitness tracking

Example prompts

  • “nutrition label”
  • “/privacy-publish”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, AskUserQuestion, mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate, mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer, mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page

Workflow steps

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

  1. Render. Markdown → minimal self-contained HTML (or keep .md if the host renders it).
  2. Publish (pick per the user's infra — AskUserQuestion once, then remember in .planning/)
  3. Set the ASC URLs (REST — dry-run, confirm, then --apply)
  4. Nutrition label (manual — no API). Emit a checklist matching Sources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy (e.g. Data Not Collected, no tracking) for the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ffb831. 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:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • AskUserQuestion
    • mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate
    • mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer
    • mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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):

    • developer.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

Privacy Publish loads about 911 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~911

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.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, AskUserQuestion, mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate, mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer, mcp__

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.

Privacy Publish

Close the "hosted legal pages + ASC URLs" gap: render .planning/legal/{privacy,terms}.md → host them → PATCH the Privacy/Support URLs onto the App Store version. The one thing with no API — the App Privacy nutrition label — is handed off as a precise checklist.

Depends on the user's web infra, so ask once, remember. Hosting choice is theirs; the ASC URL-setting is the automatable part.

Prerequisites

  • Legal drafts exist: .planning/legal/privacy.md, .planning/legal/terms.md (from legal/privacy-policy).
  • _shared/asc-api/ set up (README).
  • Set ASC="python3 <path to asc.py>" — resolve asc.py relative to this SKILL.md file's location (../../_shared/asc-api/asc.py), never the project cwd. Known install locations:
    • SwiftShip symlink install: ~/.claude/swiftship-skills/_shared/asc-api/asc.py
    • Copied install: .claude/skills/_shared/asc-api/asc.py (project) or ~/.claude/skills/_shared/asc-api/asc.py (global)
    • Plugin install: resolve from this file's location — the _shared/ tree ships with the plugin.
  • The app has a current editable App Store version + an en-US appInfoLocalization and appStoreVersionLocalization (get their ids first).

Flow — dry-run → confirm → apply

  1. Render. Markdown → minimal self-contained HTML (or keep .md if the host renders it).
  2. Publish (pick per the user's infra — AskUserQuestion once, then remember in .planning/):
    • git static site — commit + push to the pages repo/branch.
    • WordPress — POST /wp-json/wp/v2/pages with an application password.
    • Netlify / S3 / other — the host's CLI.
    • Browser fallback — drive the CMS with claude-in-chrome (detect → preview → confirm → act → fall back, per TOOL-HANDOFF.md).
    • Confirm both URLs resolve (HTTP 200) before touching ASC.
  3. Set the ASC URLs (REST — dry-run, confirm, then --apply):
    • Privacy Policy URL → appInfoLocalizations (privacyPolicyUrl):
      $ASC PATCH /v1/appInfoLocalizations/<id> '{"data":{"type":"appInfoLocalizations","id":"<id>","attributes":{"privacyPolicyUrl":"https://…/privacy"}}}' --apply
    • Support / Marketing URL → appStoreVersionLocalizations (supportUrl, marketingUrl) — PATCH the current version's en-US localization id.
  4. Nutrition label (manual — no API). Emit a checklist matching Sources/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy (e.g. Data Not Collected, no tracking) for the user to click in ASC ▸ App Privacy. Do not claim this step is automated.

Done

  • Legal pages live + resolving; Privacy/Support URLs set via API; nutrition-label checklist handed off.

Caveats

  • Verify each endpoint/field against the current ASC API reference before --apply (captured 2026-07).
  • Confirm URLs return 200 before setting them in ASC — a dead Privacy URL is a common rejection (Guideline 5.1.1).
  • The nutrition label and some age-rating specifics have no public API — those remain ASC-UI/manual by design.
