An App Store Optimization (ASO) workflow for iOS and Android apps. ASO means improving an app's store listing so the right people can find it and choose to install it.

Use it for keyword research, rank tracking, competitor-gap analysis, store metadata, localized listings, screenshot planning, conversion experiments, and ASO audits.

It helps replace guesswork about app-store keywords, competitors, listing text, screenshots, and localization with product information and Applyra data.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00097	$0.03969
Opus 5	$0.00048	$0.01985
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00794
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00397

Measured 11d ago against content hash 786b9ee618a5, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-11, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

applyra-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check_setup.sh, scripts/tests/test_validate_metadata.py, scripts/validate_metadata.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 — 392 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Applyra ASO

Run evidence-led App Store Optimization for Apple App Store and Google Play. Use the repository as product truth, Applyra as the ASO data source, and deterministic validation before proposing or writing metadata.

Portability and path resolution

This skill is portable across Codex, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients. Resolve skill-root as the directory containing this SKILL.md. Every relative reference, script, and asset path in this document is relative to skill-root; never assume the skill is installed under a specific home directory or repository path.

Respond and write reports in the user's language unless the repository establishes another language. Preserve store-facing copy in each target locale.

Core outcome

Produce an ASO system that is:

True to the product — every claim maps to an implemented, available feature.
Market-specific — every keyword decision is tied to store, country, and locale.
Data-backed — Applyra metrics are quoted exactly and never invented.
Conversion-aware — metadata and creatives answer the searcher's intent.
Policy-safe — no competitor trademarks, false rankings, unsupported claims, or misleading assets.
Reproducible — baseline, decisions, diffs, validation, and follow-up measurements are written to disk.
Non-destructive by default — research first; Applyra mutations and store publication require explicit authorization.
Data-minimized — raw private payloads stay local; public reports contain only normalized, redacted evidence.

Read before acting

Read the root AGENTS.md and any nested instructions that apply to files you may change.
Read the relevant reference files for the requested phase:
- Applyra usage: references/01-applyra-mcp.md
- Product truth: references/02-app-context.md
- Keyword research: references/03-keyword-research.md
- Competitors: references/04-competitors.md
- Apple metadata: references/05-apple-metadata.md
- Google Play metadata: references/06-google-play-metadata.md
- Localization: references/07-localization.md
- Creatives and experiments: references/08-creatives-conversion.md
- Measurement: references/09-measurement-experiments.md
- Repository changes: references/10-repository-integration.md
- Compliance: references/11-safety-compliance.md
- Required outputs: references/12-output-contract.md
Run <skill-root>/scripts/check_setup.sh when the Applyra connection, Node version, agent setup, or validator availability is uncertain.

What ships with it

26 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
