# Commands
Every write command takes `--dry`; re-runs are idempotent; output is one timestamped line per step, so long jobs can
run in the background with a log (`storebound shots render > .storebound/render.log 2>&1 &`).
Setup and checks
| command | kind | what |
|---|---|---|
| `init [--profile app\|game\|subscription-app]` | local | copy the templates of a profile (default app), gitignore `.storebound/` |
| `import fastlane [--dir fastlane] [--profile ...]` | local | config, `store/appstore.md`, `store/listing.md` and screenshot frames from a fastlane setup; never overwrites, reports what is not mapped |
| `install --agent ` | local | skills + MCP entry for an AI tool |
| `mcp` | local | stdio MCP server wrapping the commands |
| `serve --stdio` | local | JSON-RPC session for the storebound desktop app (see [Desktop machine interface](mcp.md#desktop-machine-interface)) |
| `inspect [--json]` | local | offline summary of the config: name, store ids, languages, products |
| `check` | local | config, copy limits, data safety, products, subscriptions, profile (delete-account URL, demo account, terms URL), files; warns on untranslated release notes |
| `catalog diff [--store] [--threshold 10]` | API, read-only | one catalog vs both stores: missing / extra / mismatched products and subscriptions, US and override prices, locales, offers, per-region price differences between the stores; exit 1 on mismatches |
| `check --aso` | local | keyword audit: App Store keyword field rules, Play stuffing / claims |
| `scan [--store apple\|play] [--json] [--write] [--originality --against ]` | local, read-only | rejection risks in the project itself (stack, SDKs, Info.plist, manifest, listings) with guideline, evidence file:line, fix and skill; Data safety / App Privacy / ATT / privacy manifest proposal as a diff (`--write` adds the detected answers to the config); exit 1 on blockers |
| `validate [--apple] [--play]` | API, read-only | readiness report with ordered blockers plus the local renders checks (`--no-local` skips); exit 1 while any blocker is left |
| `originality --against [--json]` | local, read-only | Guideline 4.3 check vs your other apps: name, listing text, icon and screenshot perceptual hashes, project structure; scores, near-duplicate flags, suggestions; exit 1 when flagged |

| `listing check` / `listing reviewed --lang ` | local | every language section against the store limits and keyword rules, untranslated and unreviewed drafts (exit 1 on a problem) / remove the draft marker after a human read it |
| `flow list \| validate \| run [NAME=value] [--dry \| --apply [--yes]] [--from \| --resume]` | local + whatever the steps call | repo-local workflows (`store/workflows/*.yml`): steps in order with progress; writes run as dry runs unless `--apply`, owner steps are listed as your click and never run (see [Repo-local workflows](studios.md#repo-local-workflows)) |
| `catalog pull [--write]` | API, read-only + local | IAP and subscription texts on the stores vs the config: a proposal diff (`.storebound/pull/catalog.json`); the config is never rewritten |
