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-review-arbitrage 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 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_reviews.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 — 262 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

app-store-review-arbitrage

Convert a competitor's App Store or Google Play URL into a one-session GTM brief: ranked complaint clusters, a broken promise map, landing page headlines, and ad copy directions — all sourced from verbatim reviews.


Critical Rules (read before Step 1)

These rules apply throughout all steps. Violating any of them fails Self-QA (Step 6).

  1. Every quote must be verbatim. No paraphrase, no grammar correction, no cleaning. Exact reviewer words only.
  2. No fabricated statistics. Do not write "40% faster" or "2× more reliable" unless a reviewer explicitly used similar language. The Self-QA step checks for uncited percentages.
  3. Cluster names must use reviewer language. Study the anti-pattern table in Step 3.
  4. Every headline and ad copy direction must cite its source cluster. Format: [cluster: "cluster-name"].
  5. Section 2 is always present in the output — even when degraded. Never skip or omit it.
  6. No banned words in any generated copy: powerful, robust, seamless, innovative, game-changing, streamline, leverage, revolutionize, transform.

Step 1 — Parse Input and Detect Platform

Accept a natural language prompt containing one app URL. Extract the URL.

Platform detection:

  • apps.apple.com → App Store
  • play.google.com/store/apps/details?id= → Google Play
  • Any other URL → stop and respond: "Please provide a direct App Store or Google Play URL. I can't analyse review data from other sources."

ID extraction (do this before calling the script):

Platform What to extract How
App Store Numeric app_id Digits after /id in the URL
App Store country 2-letter code after apps.apple.com/ (e.g., us, gb)
Google Play package_name Value of id= query parameter

Persist the extracted values — you will need them for the output filename in Step 7.

If product_context was provided in the user's prompt (what their own product does), store it — used to personalise copy in Step 5.

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.
