When the user wants to optimize their Google Play Store listing — title, short description, full description, keywords, ratings, or Play Store-specific features.

  • Works in 5 steps: Check for app-marketing-context.md → Ask: Do you have Play Console access?… → Ask: What is your current title and… → …
  • Wants to optimize their Google Play Store listing — title
  • SKILL.md covers Key Differences vs iOS, Character Limits, Initial Assessment and Metadata Optimization, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Android Aso is an agent skill from appeeky/aso-skills. When the user wants to optimize their Google Play Store listing — title, short description, full description, keywords, ratings, or Play Store-specific features. Use when the user mentions "Google Play", "Android", "Play Store", "Play Console", "short description", "full description indexed", "Google Play ASO", or wants Google Play-specific keyword, creative, or ratings strategy. For iOS App Store optimization, see aso-audit and metadata-optimization.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release. It works with Android and iOS. The repository describes itself as: AI agent skills for App Store Optimization (ASO) and app marketing. Built for indie developers, app marketers, and growth teams who want Cursor, Claude Code, or any Agent… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to optimize their Google Play Store listing — title
  • Short description
  • Full description
  • Play Store-specific features

Example prompts

  • “Google Play”
  • “Android”
  • “Play Store”
  • “/android-aso”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: Do you have Play Console access? (for actual keyword data)
  3. Ask: What is your current title and short description?
  4. Ask: What are your 3 most important keywords?
  5. Ask: What category is your app in?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3919d7c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Android Aso loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 603 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Android ASO (Google Play)

You are a Google Play ASO expert. Google Play's algorithm differs fundamentally from iOS — the full description is indexed, there is no hidden keyword field, and ratings are continuous (not version-reset).

Initial Assessment

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: Do you have Play Console access? (for actual keyword data)
  3. Ask: What is your current title and short description?
  4. Ask: What are your 3 most important keywords?
  5. Ask: What category is your app in?

Metadata Optimization

Title (30 chars)
  • Lead with your brand name or primary keyword — whichever is stronger
  • Include 1 high-volume keyword naturally: Brand – Keyword Descriptor
  • ✅ "Headspace: Meditation & Sleep" | ❌ "Best Meditation App for You"
Short Description (80 chars)
  • First thing users read on search results
  • Pack your 2–3 most important keywords naturally in one compelling sentence
  • ✅ "Guided meditation, sleep sounds & breathing exercises for stress relief"
  • Do not repeat the title's primary keyword
Full Description (4000 chars — indexed)

Structure for algorithm + conversion:

[Hook paragraph — 2–3 sentences]
Lead with the core value proposition. Include primary keyword in first 167 chars
(shown above the fold).

[Feature bullets — 5–8 items]
• [Feature]: [Benefit]
Use keywords naturally. Vary phrasing — don't repeat exact phrases.

[Social proof]
"Trusted by X million users" / awards / press mentions

[Call to action]
Download [App Name] today — [value prop].

[Keywords section — natural, not stuffed]
A paragraph using keyword variants, synonyms, and long-tail terms.

Keyword density rule: Target keyword should appear 3–5 times across the full description. Exact match + variants. Never stuff.

Localization

Google Play indexes descriptions per language. Each locale is a fresh keyword opportunity — translate and localize, don't just auto-translate.

Keyword Research for Play Store

Use Appeeky keyword tools, then adapt for Play:

bash
GET /v1/keywords/metrics?keywords=meditation,mindfulness,sleep sounds&country=us
GET /v1/keywords/suggestions?term=meditation&country=us

Play-specific considerations:

  • Long-tail phrases work well (full description is indexed)
  • Semantic similarity matters — Google's algorithm understands synonyms
  • User reviews and Q&A also get indexed — common words in reviews can signal keywords
Show full SKILL.md (250 more words)Show less

Feature Graphic (1024×500px)

Required for Play Store. Appears at the top of your listing when no video is present.

  • Show the core use case in one image
  • Text is legible — no tiny copy
  • Brand-consistent with screenshots
  • Works without text (text may be truncated on some surfaces)

Ratings Strategy

Unlike iOS, Play ratings are never reset — every rating ever given counts.

To improve your rating:

  1. Respond to every 1–3 star review (boosts score algorithmically)
  2. Reply invites re-rating — users can update their review
  3. Use review-management skill for response templates
  4. Fix the issues mentioned in low ratings and reply: "Fixed in version X.X"

Rating prompt timing (see also rating-prompt-strategy skill):

  • Prompt after a clear success moment, not on cold open
  • Use the Play In-App Review API: ReviewManager.requestReviewFlow()

Play Store Experiments (A/B Testing)

Native A/B testing for:

  • Icon
  • Feature graphic
  • Screenshots (up to 3 variants)
  • Short description (up to 3 variants)
  • Full description (up to 3 variants)

Access: Play Console → Store listing experiments

Test one element at a time. Run for minimum 7 days or 1,000 impressions.

Pre-Launch (Early Access)

Use Early Access to:

  • Collect reviews before public launch
  • Get indexed by Google before launch
  • Get editorial consideration from Google Play
