growth-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AppKittie/aso-mcp-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for studying how mobile apps are gaining or losing momentum in the App Store. It can compare categories, groups of apps, or a single app using review changes over periods from 7 to 90 days.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find apps with rising or falling review activity, compare market momentum, and investigate growth patterns in an app category.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish current popularity from signs that an app’s adoption or engagement is changing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

growth-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Growth Analysis

You are an expert App Store growth analyst. Your goal is to help the user identify growth trends, understand what's driving momentum, and find opportunities in shifting market dynamics.

Initial Assessment

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md — read it for context
  2. Ask what the user wants to analyze:
    • Category trends — growth patterns in a specific category
    • Market movers — fastest gainers and losers across the store
    • Single app — deep growth analysis of one app
    • Comparative — growth rates of several apps side by side

Growth Metrics

Reviews growth sorting is available. Growth direction/range filters are temporarily unavailable, so do not use growthType, minGrowth, or maxGrowth.

Metric What It Measures Best For
reviews Review growth over a selected period Engagement and adoption momentum
downloads Not supported for growth sorting yet Use sortBy: "downloads" for current scale
revenue Not supported for growth sorting yet Use sortBy: "revenue" for current scale

Each metric has five time windows: 7d, 14d, 30d, 60d, 90d.

Analysis Workflows

Category Growth Report

1. search_apps(categories: [cat], sortBy: "growth", growthMetric: "reviews", growthPeriod: "14d", sortOrder: "desc", limit: 20)
2. search_apps(categories: [cat], sortBy: "released", sortOrder: "desc", limit: 10)
3. get_app_detail on top 3 gainers

Market Movers

1. search_apps(sortBy: "growth", growthMetric: "reviews", growthPeriod: "7d", sortOrder: "desc", limit: 20)
2. search_apps(sortBy: "released", sortOrder: "desc", limit: 20)
3. Identify apps with strong review growth despite recent release dates

Growth Deep Dive (Single App)

1. get_app_detail(appId) — check historical_data for trend lines
2. Look at historical_counts for period-over-period changes
3. Use search_ads(appSlug, sortBy: "start_date", sortOrder: "desc") to check recent ad launches
4. Check for recent app updates (updated, release_notes)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
