What it does
Replica Entrepreneur is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/replica-skill. Researches the app being cloned and reads what its real users say in public reviews (App Store, Google Play, G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Reddit, Hacker News, its own feature-request board), then ranks what they hate, what is missing and what is unsolved, turns it into a fix plan for the clone and a positioning angle you can sell. Every quote is real, verbatim and linked. Use when the user says "what do people hate about X", "read the reviews", "how do I make mine better", "find the gap", "what features are…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `reviews.py` and `themes.json`).
It sits in Sales & Support, covering Customer feedback analysis and App store release. It works with Reddit and Algolia. The repository describes itself as: Eleven free Claude skills that clone any app: reverse-engineer it, rebuild it, test it for bugs, then fix what its users hate. Free, MIT. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says what do people hate about X
- Read the reviews
- How do I make mine better
- What features are missing
Example prompts
- “what do people hate about X”
- “read the reviews”
- “how do I make mine better”
- “/replica-entrepreneur”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 77c9436. 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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
itunes.apple.com
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
Replica Entrepreneur loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 153 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

replica-entrepreneur
A straight copy of an app has no reason to exist. This skill finds the reason: what the original's users hate, in their own words, and fixes it in yours.
Tool in this folder:
python3 reviews.py replica/reviews.csv --out replica/feedback.mdThe rules, which are not negotiable
- Never fabricate. No invented reviews, quotes, ratings, counts, users or sources. If a source cannot be reached, say so and move on. If there are 14 reviews, say 14.
- Every quote is verbatim and linked. Copied exactly from the page, with
the URL of the review or thread.
reviews.pydrops any row without a link. - Reading, not scraping. Read review pages the way a person does, in the
browser, and copy rows into the sheet. No scraping libraries against stores
or review sites whose terms forbid it. Official public feeds and APIs are
fine within their terms: Apple's customer reviews RSS feed
(
https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/customerreviews/id=<APP_ID>/sortBy=mostRecent/json), the Hacker News Algolia API (hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=...), Reddit's official API under its terms. - No fake reviews, ever. Not for your app, not against theirs. It is illegal in the US (the FTC's 2024 rule) and in many other places.
- Reviewers are not your testimonials. Their words are research. Do not put them on your landing page.
Step 1: collect
Aim for 100+ reviews across at least three sources, recent first:
| source | where |
|---|---|
| App Store | the app page, Ratings and Reviews, See All; or the RSS feed above |
| Google Play | the listing, See all reviews, sort by newest |
| G2, Capterra, Trustpilot | the product's review pages, filter to 1 to 3 stars too |
| search "X alternative", "switched from X", "X sucks", "X vs" | |
| Hacker News | the Algolia API or site search, same queries |
| the original's own board | its public roadmap or feature-request board (Canny and similar) and the vote counts |
| its changelog | what it shipped, so you do not "fix" what is already fixed |
Each row in replica/reviews.csv: source,url,date,rating,text, text copied
exactly. Read the 3 and 4 star reviews too. "Love it, but..." is where the
best fixes hide.
Step 2: rank
python3 reviews.py replica/reviews.csv --out replica/feedback.mdIt sorts reviews into themes (themes.json, edit it for the app's category),
weights low ratings and recent reviews higher, marks themes with fewer than 3
reviews or only one source as thin, lists every request in the users' own
words, and surfaces low ratings that matched no theme. Read that last list by
hand. It is often the best part.
Show full SKILL.md (218 more words)Show less
Step 3: three lists
From feedback.md, write three ranked lists. Each item: the problem in one
line, how many reviews, how many sources, one or two linked quotes.
- What they hate. Complaints about things the app does.
- What is missing. Features people ask for by name.
- What is unsolved. Whole jobs or groups the app ignores ("not built for teams", "useless for therapists"). These become positioning.
Thin themes are listed as thin. Do not present three angry Reddit comments as a trend.
Step 4: the fix plan
Pick the top 5 to 8 by evidence times how cheaply you can fix them. For each:
what to build or change, size (S, M, L), which skill does it, and the
evidence. Add each one to replica/features.csv as a row with original set
to no. Pricing and billing complaints go to /replica-launch.
Step 5: the angle
Three positioning options, each grounded in a top theme:
For {{who}} who {{hate this about the original, in plain words}},
{{your app}} {{does this instead}}.
Evidence: {{theme}}, {{n}} reviews across {{n}} sources.Recommend one. It drives replica-brand's name and voice and replica-launch's hero. Do not put the original's name in your app name, ads or store listing. A factual comparison page is a legal question for a lawyer in your country.
Output
replica/reviews.csv, replica/feedback.md, replica/fixes.md (three
lists, fix plan, angle), new rows in features.csv, and a summary that
states the sample size. Next: /replica-brand.
