ShipKit

Shipping an app is 90% builder, 10% bureaucracy — and the 10% is where you lose a whole afternoon to a rejected screenshot size or a notarization error with no explanation.

ShipKit is four Claude Code agents that carry that 10% for you. Drop them in and just say what you want — "get this ready for the App Store", "notarize and build a DMG", "set up auto-updates", "launch this on Gumroad." Claude routes to the right agent automatically.

The agents

• app-store-submit — Validates iOS submission readiness end to end: metadata, accepted screenshot sizes, privacy labels that actually match what your app does, reviewer access for login apps, and the silent config gate that blocks a first submission. Runs a final skeptical reviewer pass to catch rejection-triggering wording before you hit Submit.
• mac-notarize — Developer ID signing, Apple notarization via an App Store Connect API key, stapling, Gatekeeper verification, and a branded drag-to-Applications DMG. Diagnoses "app is damaged" errors.
• sparkle-autoupdate — Signed appcast, public hosting that actually works, SUFeedURL wiring, and debugging "no update found."
• gumroad-launch — A paid product with license keys that actually verify: the license-key element, the verify API, and how to mint a real test key for free.

Distilled from real ships

Every agent encodes lessons that cost an afternoon the first time — Apple rejecting a first submission with no app config, "Apple Distribution" certs that can't sign direct-distribution apps, a Sparkle appcast pointed at a private repo's releases that fails for every customer, Gumroad's sample key that never verifies. Four afternoons you don't lose.

What's included

Four agent files for Claude Code, a one-command installer that drops them into every project, and a README. Requires Claude Code, macOS 14+, and Xcode.
