# asc cli usage

Use this skill when you need to run or design `asc` commands for App Store Connect.

## Command discovery
- Always use `--help` to discover commands and flags.
  - `asc --help`
  - `asc builds --help`
  - `asc builds list --help`

## Flag conventions
- Use explicit long flags (e.g., `--app`, `--output`).
- Prefer explicit flags in automation; some newer commands can prompt for missing fields when run interactively.
- Destructive operations require `--confirm`.
- Use `--paginate` when the user wants all pages.

## Output formats
- Output defaults are TTY-aware: `table` in interactive terminals, `json` when piped or non-interactive.
- Use `--output table` or `--output markdown` only for human-readable output.
- `--pretty` is only valid with JSON output.

## Authentication and defaults
- Prefer keychain auth via `asc auth login`.
- Fallback env vars: `ASC_KEY_ID`, `ASC_ISSUER_ID`, `ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH`, `ASC_PRIVATE_KEY`, `ASC_PRIVATE_KEY_B64`.
- `ASC_APP_ID` can provide a default app ID.

## Timeouts
- `ASC_TIMEOUT` / `ASC_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` control request timeouts.
- `ASC_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT` / `ASC_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` control upload timeouts.
