Automated summary

This skill reconciles App Store Connect subscriptions and in-app purchases with RevenueCat products, entitlements, offerings, and packages using the asc CLI and the RevenueCat MCP server.

Strengths

  • Defaults to a read-only audit mode and requires explicit confirmation before any write.
  • Relies on a deterministic key (ASC productId == RevenueCat store_identifier) instead of display names.
  • Ships an explicit mapping table from ASC product types (CONSUMABLE, NON_CONSUMABLE, NON_RENEWING_SUBSCRIPTION) to RevenueCat types.
  • Applies changes in a fixed order (ASC, products, entitlements, offerings) and prints a final reconciliation summary while continuing past per-item failures.

Limitations

  • Assumes asc authentication is already configured plus an authenticated RevenueCat MCP server, with known project_id and APP_ID.
  • Does not cover deletions or price changes; the scope stays on creating and mapping resources.
  • RevenueCat MCP cannot create ASC products, so App Store Connect creation depends entirely on asc commands.
When to use it

Use it to bootstrap RevenueCat from an existing ASC catalog or to run a drift audit before a release.

When not to use it

Avoid it if you need to change prices, delete products, or work without write access to the RevenueCat API v2.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score88/100

No destructive, obfuscated, or exfiltrating behavior: no curl|sh, no secret/token transmission, no deletions, and it explicitly defaults to read-only audit mode with per-item confirmation before writes. Risk is limited to the powerful but legitimate use of bash `asc` commands plus a write-enabled RevenueCat API key to create and attach real store/revenue products, which warrants a caution rather than safe.

Findings
  • •Instructs use of a write-enabled RevenueCat API v2 key and creation of live App Store Connect products/subscriptions/IAPs — real billing/store mutations.
  • •Runs bash `asc` CLI commands and MCP tools with network/store access; applying changes has real-world consequences if confirmation is skipped.
  • •Recommends creating a `is_current=true` offering, which can change what paywalls show to users.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Audit de divergence avant release
Compare my App Store Connect subscriptions and IAPs for app ID 123456789 with my RevenueCat project proj_abc123. Run in audit mode only: show what's missing on each side and any identifier or type conflicts, then propose a mapping plan without writing anything.
Bootstrap RevenueCat depuis ASC
Bootstrap my RevenueCat project proj_abc123 from the existing App Store Connect catalog of app 123456789. Map ASC subscriptions to RevenueCat subscriptions with one entitlement per subscription group, non-consumables to one entitlement each, and skip consumables. Show the plan first and wait for my confirmation.
Créer les produits ASC manquants puis mapper
For app 123456789, create the missing ASC subscription group 'Premium' with a monthly and yearly subscription, then create the matching RevenueCat products in project proj_abc123 for the app_store bundle id com.example.app and attach them to the Premium entitlement. Report any per-item failures at the end.

asc RevenueCat catalog sync

Use this skill to keep App Store Connect (ASC) and RevenueCat aligned, including creating missing ASC items and mapping them to RevenueCat resources.

When to use

  • You want to bootstrap RevenueCat from an existing ASC catalog.
  • You want to create missing ASC subscriptions/IAPs, then map them into RevenueCat.
  • You need a drift audit before release.
  • You want deterministic product mapping based on identifiers.

Preconditions

  • asc authentication is configured (asc auth login or ASC_* env vars).
  • RevenueCat MCP server is configured and authenticated.
  • In Cursor and VS Code, OAuth auth is available for RevenueCat MCP. API key auth is also supported.
  • You know:
    • ASC app ID (APP_ID)
    • RevenueCat project_id
    • target RevenueCat app type (app_store or mac_app_store) and bundle ID for create flows
  • Use a write-enabled RevenueCat API v2 key when applying changes.

Safety defaults

  • Start in audit mode (read-only).
  • Require explicit confirmation before writes.
  • Never delete resources in this workflow.
  • Continue on per-item failures and report all failures at the end.

Canonical identifiers

  • Primary cross-system key: ASC productId == RevenueCat store_identifier.
  • Keep productId stable once products are live.
  • Do not use display names as unique identifiers.

Scope boundary

  • RevenueCat MCP configures RevenueCat resources; it does not create App Store Connect products directly.
  • Use asc commands to create missing ASC subscription groups, subscriptions, and IAPs before RevenueCat mapping.

Modes

1) Audit mode (default)

  1. Read ASC source catalog.
  2. Read RevenueCat target catalog.
  3. Build a diff with actions:
    • missing in ASC
    • missing in RevenueCat
    • mapping conflicts (identifier/type/app mismatch)
  4. Present a plan and wait for confirmation.

2) Apply mode (explicit)

Execute approved actions in this order:

  1. Ensure ASC groups/subscriptions/IAP exist.
  2. Ensure RevenueCat app/products exist.
  3. Ensure entitlements and product attachments.
  4. Ensure offerings/packages and package attachments.
  5. Verify and print a final reconciliation summary.

Step-by-step workflow

Step A - Read current ASC catalog

asc subscriptions groups list --app "APP_ID" --paginate --output json
asc iap list --app "APP_ID" --paginate --output json
# for each subscription group:
asc subscriptions list --group-id "GROUP_ID" --paginate --output json

Step B - Read current RevenueCat catalog (MCP)

Use these MCP tools (with project_id and pagination where applicable):

  • mcp_RC_get_project
  • mcp_RC_list_apps
  • mcp_RC_list_products
  • mcp_RC_list_entitlements
  • mcp_RC_list_offerings
  • mcp_RC_list_packages

Step C - Build mapping plan

Map ASC product types to RevenueCat product types:

  • ASC subscription -> RevenueCat subscription
  • ASC IAP CONSUMABLE -> RevenueCat consumable
  • ASC IAP NON_CONSUMABLE -> RevenueCat non_consumable
  • ASC IAP NON_RENEWING_SUBSCRIPTION -> RevenueCat non_renewing_subscription

Suggested entitlement policy:

  • subscriptions: one entitlement per subscription group (or explicit map provided by user)
  • non-consumable IAP: one entitlement per product
  • consumable IAP: no entitlement by default unless user asks

Step D - Ensure missing ASC items (if requested)

Create missing ASC resources first, then re-read ASC to capture canonical IDs.

# create subscription group
asc subscriptions groups create --app "APP_ID" --reference-name "Premium"

# create subscription
asc subscriptions create \
  --group-id "GROUP_ID" \
  --reference-name "Monthly" \
  --product-id "com.example.premium.monthly" \
  --subscription-period ONE_MONTH

# create iap
asc iap create \
  --app "APP_ID" \
  --type NON_CONSUMABLE \
  --ref-name "Lifetime" \
  --product-id "com.example.lifetime"

Step E - Ensure RevenueCat app and products

Use MCP:

  • create app if missing: mcp_RC_create_app
  • create products: mcp_RC_create_product
    • store_identifier = ASC productId
    • app_id = RevenueCat app ID
    • type from mapping above

Step F - Ensure entitlements and attachments

Use MCP:

  • list/create entitlements: mcp_RC_list_entitlements, mcp_RC_create_entitlement
  • attach products: mcp_RC_attach_products_to_entitlement
  • verify attachments: mcp_RC_get_products_from_entitlement

Step G - Ensure offerings and packages (optional)

Use MCP:

  • list/create/update offerings:
    • mcp_RC_list_offerings
    • mcp_RC_create_offering
    • mcp_RC_update_offering (is_current=true only if requested)
  • list/create packages:
    • mcp_RC_list_packages
    • mcp_RC_create_package
  • attach products to packages:
    • mcp_RC_attach_products_to_package with eligibility_criteria: "all"

Recommended package keys:

  • ONE_WEEK -> $rc_weekly
  • ONE_MONTH -> $rc_monthly
  • TWO_MONTHS -> $rc_two_month
  • THREE_MONTHS -> $rc_three_month
  • SIX_MONTHS -> $rc_six_month
  • ONE_YEAR -> $rc_annual
  • lifetime IAP -> $rc_lifetime
  • custom -> $rc_custom_<name>

Expected output format

Return a final summary with:

  • ASC created counts (groups/subscriptions/IAP)
  • RevenueCat created counts (apps/products/entitlements/offerings/packages)
  • attachment counts (entitlement-products, package-products)
  • skipped existing items
  • failed items with actionable errors

Example:

ASC: created groups=1 subscriptions=2 iap=1, skipped=14, failed=0
RC: created apps=0 products=3 entitlements=2 offerings=1 packages=2, skipped=27, failed=1
Attachments: entitlement_products=3 package_products=2
Failures:
- com.example.premium.annual: duplicate store_identifier exists on another RC app

Agent behavior

  • Always run audit first, even in apply mode.
  • Ask for confirmation before create/update operations.
  • Match by store_identifier first.
  • Use full pagination (--paginate for ASC, starting_after for RevenueCat tools).
  • Continue processing after per-item failures and report all failures together.
  • Never auto-delete ASC or RevenueCat resources in this skill.

Common pitfalls

  • Wrong RevenueCat project_id or app ID.
  • Creating RC products under the wrong platform app.
  • Accidentally assigning consumables to entitlements.
  • Skipping the post-create ASC re-read step.
  • Missing offering/package verification after product creation.

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/asc-revenuecat-catalog-sync-ms47vqm9/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
