Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# asc localize metadata Use this skill to pull English (or any source locale) App Store metadata, translate it with LLM, and push translations back to App Store Connect — all automated. ## Command discovery and output conventions - Always confirm flags with `--help` for the exact `asc` version: - `asc localizations --help` - `asc localizations download --help` - `asc localizations upload --help` - `asc apps info edit --help` - Prefer explicit long flags (`--app`, `--version`, `--version-id`, `--type`, `--app-info`). - Default output is JSON; use `--output table` only for human verification steps. - Prefer deterministic ID-based operations. Do not "pick the first row" via `head -1` unless the user explicitly agrees. ## Preconditions - Auth configured (`asc auth login` or `ASC_*` env vars) - Know your app ID (`asc apps list` to find it) - At least one locale (typically en-US) already has metadata in App Store Connect ## Supported Locales App Store Connect locales for version and app-info localizations: ``` ar-SA, ca, cs, da, de-DE, el, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US, es-ES, es-MX, fi, fr-CA, fr-FR, he, hi, hr, hu, id, it, ja, ko, ms, nl-NL, no, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, ru, sk, sv, th, tr, u
- Command discovery and output conventions
- Preconditions
- Supported Locales
- Two Types of Metadata
- Version Localizations (per-release)
- App Info Localizations (app-level, persistent)
- Workflow
- Step 1: Resolve IDs
- Step 2: Download source locale
- Step 3: Translate with LLM
- Step 4: Upload translations
- Step 5: Verify
- Character Limits (enforce before upload!)
- Full Example: Add nl-NL and ru to Roxy Math

What does the asc-localize-metadata skill do?
Automatically translate and sync App Store metadata (description, keywords, what's new, subtitle) to multiple languages using LLM translation and asc CLI. Use when asked to localize an app's App Store listing, translate app descriptions, or add new languages to App Store Connect.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills --skill asc-localize-metadata --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills, a repository with 948 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
