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.

How to install App Store Build Monitor

git clone https://github.com/Xopoko/build-swift-apps.git
cd build-swift-apps
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/appstore-build-monitor ~/.claude/skills/appstore-build-monitor

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
