asc-id-resolver
by rudrankriyamasc-id-resolver helps you resolve App Store Connect IDs for apps, builds, versions, TestFlight groups, testers, pre-release versions, and review submissions from names or bundle IDs. Use the asc-id-resolver skill when your next command needs a reliable ID for release automation or backend workflows.
This skill scores 68/100, which is a modest but valid accept for directory listing. It gives agents a clear trigger for resolving App Store Connect IDs from names and provides enough command examples to reduce guesswork, but the workflow coverage is narrow and the skill lacks supporting files or deeper operational guidance, so users should install it mainly if they need this specific lookup task.
- Clear purpose and trigger: resolve App Store Connect IDs from human-friendly names when commands need IDs.
- Practical command examples for apps, builds, versions, TestFlight groups/testers, prerelease versions, and review submissions.
- Guardrails improve reliability by recommending pagination and deterministic sorting.
- No install command, scripts, references, or supporting assets, so users must trust the inline examples alone.
- Covers ID lookup only; it does not explain broader App Store Connect workflows or error handling for ambiguous matches.
Overview of asc-id-resolver skill
What asc-id-resolver does
asc-id-resolver helps you turn App Store Connect names into the IDs that asc commands often need. It covers common lookups for apps, builds, versions, TestFlight groups, testers, pre-release versions, and review submissions. If you need the asc-id-resolver skill for Backend Development workflows that touch release automation, this is the fast path from a human label to a command-ready identifier.
Who should use it
Use asc-id-resolver when you already know the app, build, or tester by name or bundle ID, but your next command requires an internal ID. It is most useful for release engineers, backend developers, and CI maintainers who script App Store Connect tasks and want fewer manual lookups.
When it fits best
This skill is a good fit when your task is operational, not exploratory: “find the latest build ID for version 1.2.3,” “list TestFlight groups for this app,” or “resolve the app ID before running another asc command.” It is less useful if you only need a one-off answer and do not plan to reuse the resolved ID in a larger workflow.
Main tradeoffs
The value of asc-id-resolver is speed and consistency, but it depends on correct context. If you do not know the exact app name, bundle ID, or version, you may get broad or ambiguous results. The skill works best when you bring a clear target and know whether you want the latest item, a specific version, or a paginated list.
How to Use asc-id-resolver skill
Install and locate the skill
Use the install path shown by your directory tooling, then open the skill files before you prompt the agent. Start with skills/asc-id-resolver/SKILL.md, because that file defines the exact asc commands and guardrails the skill expects. There is no extra script layer here, so the skill body is the main source of truth.
Turn a vague request into a resolvable input
A weak request is “get the build ID.” A better asc-id-resolver usage prompt is: “Resolve the latest iOS build ID for app com.example.app, version 1.2.3, then list the command I should run next.” Include the app identifier, platform, version, and whether you want the latest, most recent, or all matching results.
Follow the command patterns the skill supports
The skill is organized around practical asc lookups:
asc apps list --bundle-id "com.example.app"or--name "My App"asc builds info --app "APP_ID" --latest --version "1.2.3" --platform IOSasc versions list --app "APP_ID" --paginateasc testflight groups list --app "APP_ID" --paginateasc testflight testers list --app "APP_ID" --paginate
These patterns matter because they reduce guesswork and keep the output aligned with the ID you actually need.
Read the repo in this order
For asc-id-resolver install and first-time use, read SKILL.md first, then inspect the command surface you need rather than the entire repository. In this repo, SKILL.md is the key file; there are no extra rules/, resources/, or helper scripts to consult. That means your prompt quality and your choice of filters do most of the work.
asc-id-resolver skill FAQ
Is asc-id-resolver only for App Store Connect admins?
No. It is for anyone who needs to resolve App Store Connect IDs as part of a release or automation flow. If you can provide the app context and understand the downstream asc command you want to run, the asc-id-resolver skill can help.
Do I need this instead of a normal prompt?
If your workflow ends with a command that requires IDs, a normal prompt may leave you with an answer that is hard to reuse. asc-id-resolver is better when the ID must be operationally correct, repeatable, and easy to pass into another command or script.
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes, if you can name the app and know the rough object type you want. It becomes harder when you do not know whether you need an app ID, build ID, version ID, or TestFlight ID. In that case, start by asking the skill to identify the object type before resolving the ID.
When should I not use it?
Do not use asc-id-resolver if you only need a general explanation of App Store Connect concepts, or if your app context is missing and you cannot narrow the target. It is a lookup skill, not a planning or debugging skill.
How to Improve asc-id-resolver skill
Give the skill the exact object type
The strongest asc-id-resolver guide inputs name both the entity and the filter. For example, “resolve the app ID for bundle ID com.example.app” is better than “find my app.” Likewise, “latest iOS build for version 2.0.0” is better than “latest build,” because it tells the skill which lookup path to use.
Add constraints that prevent noisy results
If you care about determinism, say so. Mention --paginate when you want completeness, and ask for sorted output when multiple items could match. The skill already recommends pagination and sorting where available, and those constraints are the difference between a quick guess and a trustworthy result.
Ask for the next command, not just the ID
The most useful asc-id-resolver outputs often include the follow-up command you can run immediately. For example, after resolving an app ID, ask for the next asc builds list or asc testflight testers list command. This reduces copy errors and keeps your workflow moving.
Iterate by tightening the search, not rephrasing broadly
If the first result is too broad, improve the input by adding bundle ID, platform, version, or “latest” instead of restating the same request. That is the fastest way to improve asc-id-resolver usage quality, especially when you are resolving IDs for release automation or Backend Development tasks that need one unambiguous value.
