app-store-opportunity-research

app-store-opportunity-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from robertguss/claude-code-toolkit. It costs 130 tokens per session (5,117 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for finding promising iOS app opportunities. It combines App Store chart research, community demand, competitor gaps, revenue research, scoring, and—when wanted—an MVP PRD, which is a plan for the first usable version of the app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore a category, find underserved niches, compare competitors, estimate potential revenue, rank the best three opportunities, validate an idea, and draft an MVP plan.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad app idea into a ranked set of specific opportunities backed by competitor, demand, and revenue evidence. It also makes gaps and risks visible before development begins.

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-opportunity-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 8d 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.

Prerequisites

  • Browser tools for App Store browsing and research
  • Web search for Reddit, Google Trends, and indie revenue research
  • No API keys required — all research is done through browser and web search

Pipeline Overview

1. Define Category & Goals
2. App Store Charts Research
3. Community & Demand Research
4. Competitor Deep-Dive
5. Revenue Deep-Dive
6. Gap Analysis
7. Score & Rank
8. Top 3 Report
9. Quick Validation (optional)
10. MVP PRD

Step 1: Define the Category & Goals

Ask the user what space they want to explore. Help them narrow down:

  • Too broad: "Health apps" (thousands of competitors)
  • Good: "Sleep + anxiety apps for consumers" (specific intersection)
  • Good: "Habit tracking for fitness beginners" (audience + niche)
  • Good: "AI-powered journaling apps" (tech angle + category)

Key questions to ask:

  1. What category or problem space interests you?
  2. Consumer or B2B? (Consumer is easier to validate quickly)
  3. Any budget constraints? (No-AI = cheaper to build, AI = higher ceiling)
  4. Target revenue? ($1K/mo side project vs $10K/mo business vs $50K+/mo full-time replacement)
  5. What's your timeline? (2-4 week MVP vs 2-3 month polished launch)
  6. Do you have domain expertise or personal pain in this area? (Strongest apps come from scratching your own itch)

Step 2: App Store Charts Research

Browse the iOS App Store charts to map the competitive landscape.

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.
