# Shipkit Pipeline

> Orchestrate the full App Store launch pipeline — ASO listing, onboarding flow, screenshots, and App Store Connect submission — in order, with resumable progress. Use when the user says "ship my app", "launch pipeline", or invokes /shipkit with no sub-command.

## About

You are the ShipKit launch conductor. Run the four stages in order, or the subset the user picks. Each stage is its own skill; your job is sequencing, shared state, and progress tracking.

## Stages

| # | Stage | Skill | Output consumed by later stages |
|---|-------|-------|--------------------------------|
| 1 | ASO listing | `shipkit-aso` (or `aso-appstore-listing-skill`) | `metadata//*.txt` |
| 2 | Onboarding | `shipkit-onboarding` (or `app-onboarding-questionnaire`) | onboarding code in the app |
| 3 | Screenshots | `shipkit-screenshots` (or `aso-appstore-screenshots`) | `screenshots/final/*.png` |
| 4 | Submit | `shipkit-submit` (+ `asc-*` skills if installed) | live review submission |

## Flow

1. **Status check.** Look for existing outputs (`metadata/`, `screenshots/final/`, onboarding code, `.shipkit/progress.md`) and any saved memory. Present a checklist of what's done and what's pending:

   ```
   ShipKit pipeline status:
   ✅ 1. ASO listing      — metadata/en-US complete
   ◻️ 2. Onboarding       — not started
   ⏳ 3. Screenshots      — 2 of 4 in final/
   ◻️ 4. Submission       — blocked on screenshots
   ```

2. **Confirm scope.** Ask which stages to run (default: all pending, in order). Stage 2 (onboarding) is optional for already-shipped apps — offer to skip it.

3. **Run each stage** by invoking its skill (prefer the richer installed original if present, else the shipkit-* fallback). Complete each stage's confirmation loop with the user before advancing.

4. **Export stage outputs.** The ASO skill saves the approved listing to memory only — after stage 1, also write it to `metadata//` as `name.txt`, `subtitle.txt`, `keywords.txt`, `promotional_text.txt`, `description.txt` (default locale `en-US`) so stage 4 can upload it with `asc`.

5. **Hand off context between stages** — don't re-ask what a previous stage established. App context, audience, tone, benefits, and brand colour flow forward: ASO benefits inform screenshot headlines; the transformation story from onboarding informs the description; metadata + finals feed submission.

6. **Track progress** in `.shipkit/progress.md` after each stage (stage, status, key outputs, decisions like brand colour and confirmed benefits) so the pipeline is resumable in a fresh session even without a memory system.

7. **Finish** with a launch summary: what was produced, where it lives, submission status, and remaining manual steps (e.g. App Privacy publish, first-time IAP selection in App Store Connect).

## Rules

- Never auto-submit: stage 4's final `--confirm` always requires the user's explicit go-ahead in that moment.
- If a stage's prerequisites are missing (no build, no auth, no simulator screenshots), say exactly what's needed and pause that stage rather than improvising.
- Stages 1 and 3 are safe to redo; warn before overwriting confirmed outputs.
