Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills at 9ffb831382.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The Release Review skill automates a comprehensive pre-release audit for macOS and iOS applications. It simulates a review from a senior developer's perspective to identify potential issues that could lead to App Store rejection, security vulnerabilities, privacy concerns, or negative user experiences. The skill covers areas like credential storage, data transmission, UX polish, and distribution requirements, providing actionable fixes where needed.

When to use it

  • When preparing an application for the App Store or TestFlight.
  • To proactively identify potential issues before notarization.
  • To understand what problems power users might complain about after release.
  • During a "review before shipping" process.
  • When requesting a “senior developer review” or “critical review”.

Key capabilities

  • Project Discovery: Identifies the project type, platform (macOS/iOS), app type, and distribution method.
  • Security Review: Checks for secure credential storage, HTTPS data transmission, input validation, entitlement audits, and hardened runtime configurations.
  • Privacy Review: Evaluates data collection transparency, privacy manifest compliance (iOS 17+), user consent flows, SDK disclosures, and GDPR basics.
  • UX Polish Review: Assesses first launch experiences, error handling, loading states, text truncation, accessibility, and platform-specific UX patterns.
  • Distribution Review: Verifies bundle identifier format, code signing configuration, Info.plist completeness, app icons, and platform-specific requirements.

Example prompts

  • "Review this project for release."
  • "Perform a pre-release audit of my iOS application."
  • "Can you give me a senior developer review before we ship?"
  • “Check this code before submitting to TestFlight.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on glob patterns (**.xcodeproj, **/Info.plist) to locate project files; ensure these patterns accurately reflect your project structure.
  • The skill utilizes separate checklists for security, privacy, UX polish and distribution – each loaded and applied during the review process.
