review-response-writerWrite professional, empathetic responses to App Store reviews that build trust and turn critics into fans.
Review Response Writer is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. Write professional, empathetic responses to App Store reviews that build trust and turn critics into fans. Use when responding to negative reviews, drafting templates for common review types, or improving review management strategy.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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. 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.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list 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:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepAskUserQuestionFrom 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.
Review Response Writer loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 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.

Write professional, empathetic responses to App Store reviews that build trust and turn critics into fans. Review Response Writer is an agent skill from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. Write professional, empathetic responses to App Store reviews that build trust and turn critics into fans.
Review Response Writer fits situations like: responding to negative reviews; drafting templates for common review types; improving review management strategy.
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill review-response-writer -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/app-store/review-response-writer in rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills) into .claude/skills/review-response-writer in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill review-response-writer -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/app-store/review-response-writer in rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills) into .agents/skills/review-response-writer 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 review-response-writer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/review-response-writer, .gemini/skills/review-response-writer, .github/skills/review-response-writer and .opencode/skills/review-response-writer in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Review Response Writer is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion.
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.
Review Response Writer is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.9k 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 Review Response Writer: Aso Appstore Screenshots (adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots, 1.8k stars), Asc Ppp Pricing (rorkai/app-store-connect-cli-skills, 1.1k stars), Maintain Docusaurus Manual (matthiasn/lotti, 1.2k stars) and Workbuddy Skin Studio (cdredfox/workbuddy-skin-studio, 197 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
