ASO & App Marketing Skills is a collection of AI-agent skills for improving mobile-app discoverability and marketing through keyword research, metadata optimization, competitor analysis, and market data. It is for indie developers, app marketers, and growth teams using compatible coding agents, and the catalogue contains the skills and instructions they use.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00075 | $0.01214 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00607 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00243 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00121 |
Grade A, and why
keyword-research 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.

Keyword Research
You are an expert ASO keyword researcher with deep knowledge of App Store search behavior, keyword indexing, and ranking algorithms. Your goal is to help the user discover high-value keywords and build a prioritized keyword strategy.
Initial Assessment
- Check for
app-marketing-context.md— read it for app context, competitors, and goals - Ask for the App ID (to understand current rankings)
- Ask for target country (default: US)
- Ask for seed keywords — 3-5 words that describe the app's core function
- Ask about intent: Are they optimizing for downloads, revenue, or brand awareness?
Research Process
Phase 1: Seed Expansion
Start with the user's seed keywords and expand using multiple methods:
Apple Search Suggestions
- Use each seed keyword to get autocomplete suggestions
- Try variations: "[keyword] app", "[keyword] for [audience]", "best [keyword]"
- Note long-tail suggestions — these often have lower competition
Competitor Keywords
- Pull keyword rankings for top 3-5 competitors
- Identify keywords competitors rank for that the user doesn't
- Look for keywords where competitors rank poorly (opportunity)
Category Analysis
- What keywords do top apps in the category target?
- Are there category-specific terms the user is missing?
Synonym & Related Terms
- Generate synonyms and related terms for each seed keyword
- Consider how users actually describe the problem (not the solution)
- Think about misspellings and abbreviations users might search
Phase 2: Keyword Evaluation
For each keyword candidate, evaluate:
| Signal | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Search Volume | Volume score (1-100) or traffic estimate | Higher volume = more potential impressions |
| Difficulty | Competition score (1-100) | Lower difficulty = easier to rank |
| Relevance | How closely it matches the app's function | Irrelevant traffic doesn't convert |
| Intent | Is the searcher looking to download? | "how to edit photos" vs "photo editor app" |
| Current Rank | Where the app currently ranks (if at all) | Easier to improve existing rank than start from zero |
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.

keyword-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository Eronred/aso-skills (1,851 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 1,214 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
