A field guide to the /touch-release skill

Mobile Release Pipeline with AI

Mobile releases involve Fastlane, code signing, store submission. /touch-release sets up CI builds, beta distribution, versioning, and store listings.

Mobile release pipelines are the part of mobile engineering that has the highest discovery cost. Code signing certificates, provisioning profiles, App Store Connect API keys, Firebase service accounts, Fastlane lanes, store metadata: each is its own learning curve, and getting them wrong stops the release. Most teams discover the cost the first time they try to ship and end up with one engineer who knows the pipeline and operates it manually for years.

The /touch-release skill sets up the full release pipeline. Fastlane lanes for build, code signing, and submission. CI integration for automated builds. Beta distribution via TestFlight or Firebase App Distribution. Versioning strategy. Store listing setup with metadata. The pipeline is automated and reproducible, so any engineer can ship rather than just the one who set it up.

What the pipeline includes

Five layers. Fastlane: lanes for build, sign, beta, release per platform. CI: automated build on merge to main, with the right secrets configured. Beta: TestFlight for iOS, Firebase App Distribution or Internal Testing for Android, with auto-distribution to internal testers on each build. Versioning: semver with build numbers, automated bump on release. Store: listing metadata in version control, screenshots managed via Fastlane snapshot.

Tonone's /touch-release skill sets up Fastlane, CI builds, beta distribution, versioning, and store listings for mobile releases.
