  • Works in 4 steps: landing page → pricing → store listing → …
  • The user says landing page
  • SKILL.md covers The rules, Step 1: landing page, Step 2: pricing and Step 3: store listing, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3

What it does

Replica Launch is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/replica-skill. Writes the launch for an app clone: the landing page built on the positioning angle, pricing set against the original's public pricing and its users' complaints, and the App Store and Google Play listing linted against the stores' limits and copycat rules. Use when the user says "landing page", "pricing", "how much should I charge", "App Store listing", "store screenshots", "launch plan", "Product Hunt", or after /replica-brand.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `listing.example.json` and `listing.py`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Product launch strategy, App store release and Landing pages. 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 landing page
  • How much should I charge
  • App Store listing
  • Store screenshots

Example prompts

  • “s public pricing and its users”
  • “limits and copycat rules. Use when the user says”
  • “pricing”
  • “/replica-launch”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. landing page
  2. pricing
  3. store listing
  4. launch plan

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

    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

Replica Launch loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

description
Writes the launch for an app clone: the landing page built on the positioning angle, pricing set against the original's public pricing and its users' complaints, and the App Store and Google Play listing linted against the stores' limits and copycat rules. Use when the user says "landing page", "pricing", "how much should I charge", "App Store listing", "store screenshots", "launch plan", "Product Hunt", or after /replica-brand.

replica-launch

Reads replica/fixes.md (the angle and the evidence), replica/brand.md, and replica/brand.json. Writes replica/launch/: landing.md, pricing.md, listing.json, launch-plan.md.

bash
python3 listing.py replica/launch/listing.json      # limits, claims, the original's name

Start from listing.example.json in this folder.

The rules

  • No fake proof. No invented testimonials, user counts, star ratings, press logos or "trusted by" rows. An empty proof section is better than a fake one. Real beta users, with permission, are fine.
  • No reviewer quotes as testimonials. The original's reviews are research.
  • The original's name stays out of your app name, store listing, keywords and ads. Apple and Google reject it, and it invites a takedown.

Step 1: landing page

landing.md, section by section, then build it in the project:

  1. Hero: the angle as a headline (what you do, for whom), one line under it, one button. Screenshot of the real product.
  2. The problem: the top two "hate" themes, in plain words. Paraphrase, do not quote reviewers.
  3. How it works: three steps, from the core flow.
  4. Features: each tied to a fix from fixes.md. Lead with the fixes, not the parity features. Parity is the price of entry.
  5. Pricing: the table from step 2.
  6. FAQ: the real objections, including "can I import from {{category}} tools?" if you built an importer.
  7. Final call to action.

Copy in the brand voice. Run replica-design's contrast check on the page.

Step 2: pricing

pricing.md:

  • The original's public pricing page and 2 or 3 alternatives, in one table, with the URL and the date read. Prices change, so the date matters.
  • What reviewers said about price and billing, from feedback.md, with counts.
  • The model: free plan or trial, per seat or flat, monthly and annual (annual usually 2 months free).
  • Three tiers at most. Name them by who they are for.
  • Fix the billing complaints in the product: one-click cancel, clear renewal emails, no surprise per-seat jumps.
  • The Stripe products and prices to create (the user creates them).

Step 3: store listing

Fill listing.json, then:

bash
python3 listing.py replica/launch/listing.json

It checks App Store limits (name 30, subtitle 30, promotional text 170, keywords 100, description 4000) and Google Play's (title 30, short description 80, full 4000), counts characters the way a person does, flags ranking and price claims in short fields, emoji, wasted keyword characters, and any name from avoid anywhere in the listing. Exit 1 on an error.

Apple's App Review Guideline 4.1 (Copycats) rejects apps that simply copy a popular app or make minor changes to another app's name or UI. Your fixes and your own brand are what get you through review, so make them visible in the screenshots and the first lines of the description.

Also prepare: screenshots at the current required sizes (check App Store Connect and Play Console when you upload, they change), privacy labels and the data safety form, privacy policy and support URLs, age rating, and review notes with a demo account the reviewer can use.

Step 4: launch plan

launch-plan.md: a waitlist or beta list before launch, analytics and error tracking live, where the original's unhappy users talk (the Reddit threads and communities from the research), a Product Hunt or Hacker News post that leads with the fix, and the first 10 users to talk to by hand.

Output

replica/launch/ complete, the landing page built, listing.py passing. Next: /replica-deploy.
