What it does

App Store Deployment is an agent skill from secondsky/claude-skills. Publishes mobile applications to iOS App Store and Google Play with code signing, versioning, and CI/CD automation. Use when preparing app releases, configuring signing certificates, or setting up automated deployment pipelines.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering App store release, CI/CD and Deployment. It works with iOS. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready skills for Claude Code CLI - Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Preparing app releases
Configuring signing certificates
Setting up automated deployment pipelines

Example prompts

“Use the app-store-deployment skill to publish mobile applications to iOS App Store and Google Play with code signing, versioning, and CI/CD automation”
“/app-store-deployment”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8837836. 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
- xcrun
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD
- RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD
- RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

App Store Deployment loads about 799 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~799

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.

NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:95
```
sudo xcodebuild -license accept || true
```

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.

When should I use App Store Deployment?

App Store Deployment fits situations like: preparing app releases; configuring signing certificates; setting up automated deployment pipelines.

How do I install App Store Deployment in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill app-store-deployment -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/app-store-deployment/skills/app-store-deployment in secondsky/claude-skills) into .claude/skills/app-store-deployment in your project.

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use App Store Deployment in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill app-store-deployment -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/app-store-deployment, .gemini/skills/app-store-deployment, .github/skills/app-store-deployment and .opencode/skills/app-store-deployment in your project.

What does App Store Deployment need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, App Store Deployment needs the command-line tools its instructions call (xcodebuild and xcrun) and credentials named APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD, RELEASE_STORE_PASSWORD and RELEASE_KEY_PASSWORD.

Does App Store Deployment access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is App Store Deployment safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (runs commands with sudo), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does App Store Deployment use?

App Store Deployment is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does App Store Deployment use?

About 799 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to App Store Deployment?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with App Store Deployment: CI CD Setup (rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills, 781 stars), Mobile App Builder (revfactory/harness-100, 1.3k stars), ASC Ad Hoc Distribution (rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills, 1.1k stars) and Wjs Auditing Project (jianshuo/claude-skills, 130 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
