TestFlight Seat Monitor

Name: TestFlight Seat Monitor
Author: jon-xo

Monitor available TestFlight beta slots with smart app name lookups and silent batch checking. Get alerted only when seats open up.

What It Does

Lookup TestFlight codes → app names using community data
Check single URLs for immediate status
Batch monitoring with state tracking (silent by default)
Only alerts on changes (full → available)
Configurable intervals (30min - 3hr recommended)

Why This Exists

TestFlight betas fill up fast. This skill:

Monitors multiple betas in one job
Stays silent unless something changes
Uses human-readable app names (not cryptic codes)
Tracks state across checks to detect transitions

Installation

clawhub install testflight-monitor

Or clone from GitHub:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
git clone https://github.com/jon-xo/testflight-monitor-skill.git testflight-monitor
cd testflight-monitor

Initial Setup

⚠️ Important: config/batch-config.json is user-specific and NOT shipped with defaults.

1. Initialize your config (one time)

cp config/batch-config.example.json config/batch-config.json

2. Add your TestFlight URLs

./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/YOUR_CODE_HERE
./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/ANOTHER_CODE
./testflight-monitor.sh list

3. Verify it works

./testflight-monitor.sh batch
# Output: SILENT: No status changes detected. (or alert if available)

Quick Start

# Every hour check
openclaw cron add \
  --name "TestFlight Monitor" \
  --every 60m \
  --target isolated \
  --message "Run TestFlight batch check: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/testflight-monitor/testflight-monitor.sh batch. If output contains 'SILENT', reply NO_REPLY. Otherwise announce the findings."

Quick Start

4. Set up automated monitoring (cron - optional)

# Check every hour, silent unless slots open
openclaw cron add \
  --name "TestFlight Monitor" \
  --every 60m \
  --target isolated \
  --message "Run: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/testflight-monitor/testflight-monitor.sh batch. If output contains 'SILENT', reply NO_REPLY. Otherwise announce the findings."

Configuration Files

batch-config.json

User-specific monitoring list. Not shipped with defaults; created during initial setup.

Example structure:

{
  "links": [
    "https://testflight.apple.com/join/YOUR_CODE_1",
    "https://testflight.apple.com/join/YOUR_CODE_2"
  ],
  "interval_minutes": 60
}

Manage via CLI:

./testflight-monitor.sh add \x3Curl>
./testflight-monitor.sh remove \x3Curl>
./testflight-monitor.sh list

Or edit directly (config/batch-config.json)

custom-codes.json

Add private betas not in the community list:

{
  "BnjD4BEf": "OpenClaw iOS",
  "YOUR_CODE": "Your App Name"
}

Silent by Default

The batch checker only outputs when status changes:

full → available: 🎉 Alert!
full → full: Silent
available → full: Silent (you already got in, or missed it)

This prevents notification spam while keeping you informed.

Data Sources

Lookup table: awesome-testflight-link

Community-maintained list of 800+ public TestFlight betas
Updated via update-lookup command
Recommended: refresh weekly

Custom codes: User-defined in config/custom-codes.json

For private betas not in the community list
Higher priority than community list

Dependencies

curl - Fetch TestFlight pages
jq - JSON processing
bash - Shell scripting (macOS/Linux)

Examples

Monitor OpenClaw iOS Beta

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/testflight-monitor
./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/BnjD4BEf
./testflight-monitor.sh batch

Check Multiple Apps

./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/Sq8bYSnJ  # Duolingo
./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/b9jMyOWt  # Reddit
./testflight-monitor.sh list

Manual Status Check

./testflight-monitor.sh check https://testflight.apple.com/join/BnjD4BEf

安全使用建议

This skill appears to do what it says: it checks TestFlight pages and keeps a local state to only notify when slots open. Before installing, consider: 1) Dependencies — ensure curl, jq and bash are available. 2) Network access — the tool fetches testflight.apple.com pages and the awesome-testflight-link README on raw.githubusercontent.com when updating the lookup table; if you have network restrictions, expect those calls. 3) Local config — the skill stores monitored URLs and state under the skill folder (config/). Review and edit config/batch-config.json (remove or replace the included example URL) so you only monitor URLs you intend. 4) Cron behavior — scheduled runs will cause periodic outbound HTTP requests; run in an isolated target as suggested if you want to limit blast radius. 5) Trust the lookup source — update-lookup pulls from a public GitHub README and parses it; if you need stricter guarantees, inspect the fetched content before use. No secrets appear to be requested or exfiltrated by these scripts.

功能分析

Package: TestFlight Seat Monitor (xpi) Version: 1.0.1 Description: Monitor TestFlight beta availability with smart app lookups and silent batch checking The TestFlight Seat Monitor package is a collection of bash scripts designed to monitor TestFlight beta availability. It fetches TestFlight pages from Apple's servers, parses them for availability indicators, and tracks the status of configured beta links. It also includes functionality to update a lookup table of app names from a public GitHub repository. The package uses standard Unix utilities like `curl`, `jq`, `grep`, `sed`, and `awk` for its operations. All external network requests are for its stated purpose (fetching TestFlight pages and a public lookup list). Data parsing from external sources is limited to text extraction and does not involve execution of untrusted code. Configuration and state are managed in local JSON files using `jq` for safe manipulation. There is no evidence of malicious intent, arbitrary code execution, data exfiltration, or privilege escalation. The code logic is transparent and directly supports the advertised functionality.

能力评估

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description (monitor TestFlight seats) align with what the skill does: curl pages, parse HTML, map codes→names from a bundled/community lookup, and track state. The included scripts and JSON lookup file are appropriate for this function. Minor note: SKILL.md says user-specific batch-config.json is not shipped, but the repo contains a non-empty config/batch-config.json (example with one Reddit URL) — functional but a small documentation inconsistency.

✓ Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions and SKILL.md direct the agent to run the included shell scripts, manage local config files, and optionally schedule a cron job in an isolated target. The scripts only read/write files inside the skill directory (config/*.json, batch-state.json) and fetch public pages (testflight.apple.com) and a README on raw.githubusercontent.com for the lookup update. They do not access unrelated system files or external endpoints beyond these public hosts.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (instruction-only install via cloning or clawhub). All code is in plain shell scripts stored in the skill directory; nothing downloads or executes arbitrary archives from unknown hosts at install time. update-lookup.sh fetches a known raw GitHub README (pluwen/awesome-testflight-link), which is expected for updating the lookup table.

✓ Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. It relies on common CLI tools (curl, jq, bash) which are justified for HTTP fetching and JSON processing. No secrets are requested or accessed.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always:false and default model invocation settings are used. The skill persists only its own config and state files under its skill directory (config/batch-config.json, config/batch-state.json, config/testflight-codes.json). It does not modify other skills, system settings, or global agent configuration.
