Cross-checked its exact flags (`--older-than 90d --dry-run/--confirm`, `--build-number --version --platform`) against the real, independent asc CLI's own hosted docs at docs.asccli.sh and they match - the commands are real and usable, not fabricated, but only once you've separately installed `asc` and paid for an Apple Developer Program membership.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What App Store Build Monitor does
Gives precise `asc` (App Store Connect CLI) commands for finding the latest/next build, checking processing state, running end-to-end TestFlight/App Store publish flows, and expiring builds older than N days with a dry-run-first pattern. Triggers on build retention or 'is it done processing yet' questions, but silently assumes `asc` is already installed and authenticated against a paid Apple Developer account - this SKILL.md never states that prerequisite.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the App Store Build Monitor skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from Xopoko/build-swift-apps. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does App Store Build Monitor work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Cross-checked its exact flags (`--older-than 90d --dry-run/--confirm`, `--build-number --version --platform`) against the real, independent asc CLI's own hosted docs at docs.asccli.sh and they match - the commands are real and usable, not fabricated, but only once you've separately installed `asc` and paid for an Apple Developer Program membership.
- What is the App Store Build Monitor SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install App Store Build Monitor?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use App Store Build Monitor with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
