What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by xopoko/build-swift-apps in skills/appstore-subscription-localizer/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use for subscription/IAP display names and descriptions, not general App Store metadata (appstore-metadata-localizer owns that).

Use appstore-pricing-planner for price points, availability, or schedules. Use appstore-revenuecat-sync when the work also maps ASC products to RevenueCat offerings or entitlements.

Preconditions

  • asc auth login or ASC_* env vars.
  • APP_ID, group/subscription/IAP IDs resolved.
  • Products already exist.

Command Plan Helper

For a deterministic command plan, run the helper from the plugin root:

python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/appstore-subscription-localizer/scripts/subscription_localization_plan.py" \
  --app "APP_ID" --group-id "GROUP_ID" --subscription-id "SUB_ID" --iap-id "IAP_ID" \
  --locale "en-US,fr-FR" --name "Display Name"

The helper prints commands only; it does not call ASC or change localizations. Create/update commands require --confirming-actions. Pass --json for machine-readable output.

Workflow

  1. Resolve APP_ID, group IDs, subscription IDs, IAP IDs, and existing localization IDs before mutation.
  2. List existing localizations before creating anything; duplicate locale creates fail.
  3. Skip locales that already exist unless the user asked to update.
  4. If the user gives one display name, use it for all locales; if they provide per-locale names, honor them.
  5. Pass --description only when supplied, usually for IAP localizations.
  6. Process many products sequentially by group for readable output, record per-locale failures, and verify with the matching list command after the batch.
