When your agent uses it

  • Wants to optimize their App Store listing for seasonal events
  • Trending moments — including keyword opportunities
  • Metadata updates
  • Screenshot theming

Example prompts

  • “seasonal”
  • “holiday”
  • “Christmas”
  • “/seasonal-aso”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Relevant Event
  2. Research Seasonal Keywords
  3. Plan Metadata Changes
  4. Timing Checklist

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

Seasonal Aso loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~135
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Seasonal ASO

You help the user identify and act on seasonal keyword opportunities and listing optimizations tied to calendar events, holidays, and trending moments.

Key Principle

Seasonal rankings are competitive and time-sensitive. Metadata takes 1–3 days to index. Plan changes 2 weeks before the event; revert 3–5 days after peak.

Seasonal Calendar (iOS — US)

EventPeak WindowKeywords to target
New YearDec 26 – Jan 7"new year", "resolution", "goals", "habit", "fresh start"
Valentine's DayFeb 1–14"valentine", "love", "couples", "romantic", "gift"
Spring / EasterMar–Apr"spring", "easter", "refresh", "clean", "declutter"
Mother's DayMay 1–12"mom", "mother", "family", "gift for mom"
SummerJun–Aug"summer", "vacation", "travel", "outdoor", "beach"

ChristmasDec 1–26"christmas", "gift", "holiday", "santa", "family"
End of YearDec 27–31"year review", "recap", "goals 2026", "new year"

Workflow

Step 1 — Identify Relevant Event
  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: Which event or season are you targeting?
  3. Ask: What does your app do? (to assess keyword relevance)
  4. Determine if the event is a good fit — not every seasonal moment applies
Step 2 — Research Seasonal Keywords

Use Appeeky to find volume on seasonal terms:

bash
GET /v1/keywords/metrics?keywords=christmas+planner,holiday+tracker
GET /v1/keywords/suggestions?term=christmas&country=us
GET /v1/keywords/trending?country=us&days=7

Filter by:

  • Volume spike (compare to baseline 30 days prior)
  • Difficulty < 60 preferred (seasonal keywords are crowded)
  • Relevance to your app's core function
Show full SKILL.md (241 more words)Show less
Step 3 — Plan Metadata Changes

Keyword field (100 chars, iOS):

  • Swap out low-performing keywords for seasonal terms
  • Add 2–4 seasonal keywords while preserving your best evergreen terms
  • Remove seasonal terms that are irrelevant to your core use case

Subtitle (30 chars):

  • Consider a seasonal hook if it fits: "Your Holiday Planner" or "New Year Goal Tracker"
  • Only change if the original subtitle is not keyword-critical

Promotional text (170 chars — no review required):

  • Always update for seasonal events — instant, no review
  • Use for: seasonal call-to-action, limited-time feature highlights, event tie-ins

Screenshots:

  • Add a seasonal frame or theme to the first 2 screenshots
  • Use screenshot-optimization skill for creative guidance
Step 4 — Timing Checklist
Timeline (count back from event date):
- [ ] T-14 days: Research keywords, brief creative
- [ ] T-10 days: Write new metadata + promotional text
- [ ] T-7 days: Submit screenshot updates (no review needed)
- [ ] T-5 days: Submit keyword/subtitle update (review time buffer)
- [ ] T-0: Event peak — monitor rankings daily
- [ ] T+3 days: Revert metadata to evergreen version
- [ ] T+5 days: Revert promotional text

Output Format

Seasonal Opportunity Brief
🎄 Seasonal Opportunity: [Event Name]
   Peak window: [dates]
   Lead time needed: [X days]

Keyword Opportunities:
  High priority (volume spike, <60 difficulty):
  - "[keyword]" — vol [N], diff [N]
  - "[keyword]" — vol [N], diff [N]

  Secondary (relevant but competitive):
  - "[keyword]" — vol [N], diff [N]

Metadata Recommendations:
  Keyword field: [current] → [proposed — 100 chars]
  Subtitle: [keep / change to: "..."]
  Promo text: "[seasonal copy — 170 chars]"

Screenshots: [suggest seasonal theme or keep as-is]

Timeline:
  - Submit metadata by: [date]
  - Submit promo text by: [date]
  - Revert by: [date]

Seasonal vs Evergreen Trade-offs

FactorSeasonalEvergreen
VolumeTemporarily very highStable
CompetitionVery high at peakModerate
RiskRankings drop after peakConsistent
RewardSpike in installsSustained growth

Rule: Only swap evergreen keywords that are already underperforming. Never sacrifice a high-ranking keyword for seasonal speculation.

For viral/trending moments (news events, viral content, app store trends):

  1. Use GET /v1/keywords/trending?country=us&days=3 to spot emerging terms
  2. Act within 24–48 hours (trending windows are short)
  3. Only update promotional text (instant, no review)
  4. Revert after the trend fades (typically 3–7 days)
