# ASC CLI skills

A collection of Agent Skills for shipping with the [asc cli](https://github.com/rorkai/App-Store-Connect-CLI) (`asc`). These skills help agents run builds, TestFlight, metadata, submissions, signing, and Apple Ads workflows.

This is a community-maintained, unofficial skill pack and is not affiliated with Apple.

Skills follow the Agent Skills format.

## Installation

Install the skills with `asc`:

```bash
asc install-skills
```

Or install them directly from GitHub with the Agent Skills installer:

```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills
```

### Claude Code plugin

This repository is also a Claude Code marketplace. Add it once, then install the `asc` plugin:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills
claude plugin install asc@rorkai
```

### Codex plugin

The repository includes a Codex plugin manifest and can be listed by a Codex plugin marketplace.
Codex currently installs plugins from configured marketplaces, so use the Agent Skills installer
until `asc` has a public marketplace listing:

```bash
npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --agent codex
```
