keyword-optimizerOptimize app title, subtitle, and keywords for maximum App Store discoverability.
Keyword Optimizer is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. Optimize app title, subtitle, and keywords for maximum App Store discoverability. Use when launching a new app, improving search rankings, entering new markets/languages, or safely optimizing ASO for an app with existing traffic.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `advanced-tactics.md`, `existing-app-strategy.md` and `keyword-criteria.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering App store release and Transcription. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for Apple platform development (iOS, macOS, iPadOS) — product validation, code generation, App Store optimization, and more. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ffb831. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepAskUserQuestionWebSearchFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Keyword Optimizer loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 788 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.
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.

Before optimizing, load these reference materials:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| keyword-criteria.md | Popularity/Difficulty sweet spots, opportunity scoring |
| advanced-tactics.md | Cross-localization, screenshot indexing, velocity boost |
| existing-app-strategy.md | Safe optimization for apps with existing traffic |
Before optimizing, ask about:
App Identity
Target Keywords
Competition
Goals
| Field | Limit | Weight | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Name | 30 chars | Highest | Most valuable real estate |
| Subtitle | 30 chars | High | Visible in search, below name |
| Keywords | 100 chars | Medium | Not visible to users |
| Description | 4000 chars | Low* | *Apple says indexed, debated |
Generate Initial List:
1. Brainstorm 50+ keywords
2. What would YOU search for this app?
3. Check competitor names/subtitles
4. Use autocomplete suggestions
5. Consider misspellings users makeResearch Tools:
Rate each keyword on:
| Factor | Question |
|---|---|
| Relevance | Does it accurately describe your app? |
| Volume | Do people actually search this? |
| Difficulty | Can you realistically rank? |
| Intent | Will searchers want your app? |
Priority Matrix:
High Volume + Low Difficulty = 🎯 Target First
High Volume + High Difficulty = 💪 Long-term Goal
Low Volume + Low Difficulty = ✅ Easy Wins
Low Volume + High Difficulty = ❌ SkipApp Name (30 characters):
[Brand Name] - [Top Keyword Phrase]
or
[Brand Name]: [Value Proposition]
Examples:
"Notion - Notes & Docs"
"Calm: Sleep & Meditation"
"Fantastical - Calendar & Tasks"Subtitle (30 characters):
[Second Priority Keywords] / [Unique Value]
Examples:
"Focus Timer & Daily Planner"
"Simple Habit Building"
"Weather Radar & Forecasts"Keywords Field (100 characters):
Rules:
- Comma-separated, NO spaces after commas
- No plurals (Apple handles it)
- No duplicates from name/subtitle
- No category name (already indexed)
- Single words perform better than phrases
Example:
"timer,pomodoro,focus,concentration,study,productivity,work,session,break,technique"Bad (wastes characters):
task manager, todo list, productivity app, reminder app, checklistGood (efficient):
task,todo,productivity,reminder,checklist,planner,organize,gtd,schedule,dailySavings:
Apple combines words from all fields:
Name: "Focus Timer"
Subtitle: "Pomodoro Technique"
Keywords: "study,productivity,work,session"
Searchable combinations:
- "focus timer"
- "pomodoro timer"
- "focus productivity"
- "study timer"
- "work focus"
(and more...)Apple indexes words from all three fields for the same locale — a word only needs to appear once. If a word appears in Title, don't repeat it in Subtitle or Keywords; if it appears in Subtitle, don't repeat it in Keywords.
❌ BEFORE (duplicated words waste ~38 characters):
Title: "Focus Timer - Stay Productive"
Subtitle: "Pomodoro Timer & Focus Sessions"
Keywords: "timer,focus,pomodoro,productive,study,work,session,break"
✅ AFTER (zero duplication, 5 new keywords gained):
Title: "Focus Timer - Stay Productive"
Subtitle: "Pomodoro Technique & Deep Work"
Keywords: "study,concentration,interval,tomato,distraction,block,exam,revision,flowstate,desk"| Check | Rule |
|---|---|
| Title word in Subtitle or Keywords? | Remove from the lower field |
| Subtitle word in Keywords? | Remove from Keywords |
| Plural/singular variant across fields? | Keep only in highest field |
| Stop words (a, the, and, for)? | Don't include anywhere — auto-indexed |

Optimize app title, subtitle, and keywords for maximum App Store discoverability. Keyword Optimizer is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. Optimize app title, subtitle, and keywords for maximum App Store discoverability.
Keyword Optimizer fits situations like: launching a new app; improving search rankings; entering new markets/languages; safely optimizing ASO for an app with existing traffic.
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill keyword-optimizer -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/app-store/keyword-optimizer in rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills) into .claude/skills/keyword-optimizer in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill keyword-optimizer -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/app-store/keyword-optimizer in rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills) into .agents/skills/keyword-optimizer in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill keyword-optimizer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/keyword-optimizer, .gemini/skills/keyword-optimizer, .github/skills/keyword-optimizer and .opencode/skills/keyword-optimizer in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Keyword Optimizer is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, WebSearch.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Keyword Optimizer is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Keyword Optimizer: Asc Localize Metadata (CamilleScholtz/swmpc, 239 stars), Krankie Audit (n0an/VivaDicta, 131 stars), Android Readme Screenshot Studio (permissionlesstech/bitchat-android, 7.8k stars) and App Store Optimization (dpearson2699/swift-ios-skills, 1.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
