Automated summary
Orchestrates TestFlight distribution — groups, testers, build assignment, and What to Test notes — through the asc CLI commands.
Strengths
- Covers the whole beta workflow: config export, group creation, tester add/invite, build assignment, and build removal.
- Provides explicit, copy-pasteable commands, including --paginate for large tester and group lists.
- Handles What to Test notes per locale and localization-id for multilingual betas.
Limitations
- Depends entirely on the asc tool and valid APP_ID / BUILD_ID values; no authentication or build upload steps are described.
- Removing a build from a group requires --confirm, making it a sensitive operation to run carefully.
- No post-operation verification or rollback procedure is documented.
Use it when you need to open a TestFlight beta to a new tester group, redistribute a build, or write its test notes.
Skip it if you need to build, sign, or upload a binary, or manage an App Store submission, since this skill only covers TestFlight configuration.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only documents ordinary `asc` CLI commands for TestFlight configuration, group/tester management, build distribution, and test notes. No shell pipelines, credential access, exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, or destructive filesystem operations are present; the only `--confirm` flag guards a reversible group-removal action.

How this analysis is madeExamples
Export the current TestFlight config for app 123456789 to ./testflight.yaml, then create a group called "Beta Testers" and add tester@example.com to it.Assign build BUILD_ID to group GROUP_ID using asc, then create What to Test notes in en-US and fr-FR describing the new onboarding flow.List every TestFlight tester for app 123456789 with --paginate and tell me which ones are not in any group.name: asc-testflight-orchestration description: Orchestrate TestFlight distribution, groups, testers, and What to Test notes using asc. Use when rolling out betas.
asc TestFlight orchestration
Use this skill when managing TestFlight testers, groups, and build distribution.
Export current config
asc testflight config export --app "APP_ID" --output "./testflight.yaml"- Include builds/testers:
asc testflight config export --app "APP_ID" --output "./testflight.yaml" --include-builds --include-testers
Manage groups and testers
- Groups:
asc testflight groups list --app "APP_ID" --paginateasc testflight groups create --app "APP_ID" --name "Beta Testers"
- Testers:
asc testflight testers list --app "APP_ID" --paginateasc testflight testers add --app "APP_ID" --email "tester@example.com" --group "Beta Testers"asc testflight testers invite --app "APP_ID" --email "tester@example.com"
Distribute builds
asc builds add-groups --build-id "BUILD_ID" --group "GROUP_ID"- Remove from group:
asc builds remove-groups --build-id "BUILD_ID" --group "GROUP_ID" --confirm
What to Test notes
asc builds test-notes create --build-id "BUILD_ID" --locale "en-US" --whats-new "Test instructions"asc builds test-notes update --localization-id "LOCALIZATION_ID" --whats-new "Updated notes"
Notes
- Use
--paginateon large groups/tester lists. - Prefer IDs for deterministic operations; use the ID resolver skill when needed.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/asc-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/asc-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/asc-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh/download' --output '.skill-downloads/asc-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/asc-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/asc-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual 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-testflight-orchestration-ms47vqmh/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.
