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

appstore-performance-intel 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/report_stats.py, scripts/test_report_stats.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 — 548 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

App Store performance intel

This answers one question with real data: what are the numbers doing, and why? It reads App Store Connect, does the arithmetic in a script rather than by eye, and maintains one living markdown report you can diff against last month's.

Every run has two deliverables, and neither substitutes for the other: the markdown file, and a summary of it in the conversation. A file path alone makes the user open a document to learn whether anything is wrong; a chat-only answer leaves nothing to diff next month. Step 6 specifies the summary — it is not a sign-off line, it is the report's findings rendered for someone who will not open the file.

The failure modes here are specific and they are why the skill exists. People quote a truncated report as a total. They sum a per-unit money column and understate revenue by a hundred times. They add euros to yen. They call a release-day flood of free updates a sales surge. They report a conversion rate without saying which two reports it came from. Every one of those produces a confident number that is simply wrong, and none of them is visible in the output. Run the numbers through the script, label every figure with its source, and spend your judgment on what the movement means.

A second failure mode is subtler: answering from the shape of the question. If the user says "downloads died", the answer is not sympathy and a plausible cause. It is a measurement that either confirms it or doesn't, and quite often doesn't.

What this skill does not do

It does not propose features, read competitors, or judge positioning. When the run surfaces something that needs a product decision, name it and hand off to app-market-intel, which has the ledger of what has already been proposed and rejected. Two skills inventing roadmap independently is how contradictory advice gets written.

Recommendations here are allowed, expected, and bounded: every one must trace to a number measured in this run. "Search impressions fell 28% while web referrals rose — the keyword set is worth re-checking" is in scope. "Add a widget" is not, no matter how good the idea.

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.
