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

app-store-aso 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/aso_handoff.py, tests/test_aso_handoff.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Store ASO

Optimize Apple App Store listings without presenting industry folklore as Apple-confirmed ranking behavior. Read references/apple-app-store-specs.md for current Apple constraints, references/audit-framework.md for analysis structure, and references/aso-handoff-schema.md before creating a handoff.

Workflow

  1. Establish the app, storefront, source locale, audience, business goal, release context, and provided evidence. Ask for a public App Store URL when available.
  2. Use current Codex web or browser capabilities to inspect public Apple product pages, Apple documentation, and explicitly named competitor pages. Record direct URLs and the retrieval date. Never use legacy WebFetch instructions.
  3. Separate evidence into observed facts, Apple-documented requirements, and recommendations or hypotheses that require testing.
  4. If a page, field, screenshot set, performance metric, or competitor cannot be inspected, add it to an Evidence gaps section. Do not silently fabricate missing data.
  5. Audit positioning, relevance, differentiation, metadata clarity, screenshot narrative, previews, localization, ratings/reviews context, and conversion experiments. Use the scorecard in audit-framework.md only as a planning aid, not an Apple ranking formula.
  6. Draft source-locale recommendations for App Name, Subtitle, Description, Promotional Text, Keywords, and What's New. Enforce Apple limits. Each keyword must be longer than two characters, use ASCII commas, and keep the complete value at most 100 UTF-8 bytes.
  7. Review screenshots and previews against Apple's current specifications. Recommend a message sequence and testable hypotheses; do not invent device dimensions from memory when the current Apple table can be checked.
  8. Compare competitors only from pages actually inspected. Present a compact matrix of positioning, metadata, proof, visual story, and gaps. Label any inference.
  9. Present recommendations in priority order with expected mechanism, effort, evidence, and a measurable validation plan. Do not describe a speculative ranking factor as Apple-confirmed.
  10. Ask the user to approve Description, Promotional Text, Keywords, and What's New separately. App Name and Subtitle are recommendations under App Information and are never part of the automatic release import.
  11. A pending aso-handoff.json template may be created at any time with scripts/aso_handoff.py new. Finalize it as approval_status: approved only after all four release fields are complete and independently approved. Then hand off to $ios-appstore-release-manager.

Changes

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.
