What it does
App Store Aso is an agent skill from TimBroddin/app-store-aso-skill. Generate optimized Apple App Store metadata recommendations with ASO best practices. Use this skill when analyzing app listings, optimizing metadata (title, subtitle, description, keywords), performing competitive analysis, or validating App Store listing requirements. Triggers on queries about App Store optimization, metadata review, or screenshot strategy.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/aso_learnings.md` and `scripts/validate_metadata.py`).
It sits in Mobile, covering App store release. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skill for Apple App Store ASO optimization with automated validation. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Analyzing app listings
- Optimizing metadata (title
- Performing competitive analysis
- Validating App Store listing requirements
Example prompts
- “/app-store-aso”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Analyze the App Context
- Load ASO Knowledge Base
- Generate Optimized Metadata
- Validate Character Counts
- Provide Screenshot Strategy
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3f0b917. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonbunbunx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
App Store Aso loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 525 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Apple App Store ASO Optimization
Overview
This skill enables comprehensive Apple App Store Optimization (ASO) analysis and metadata generation. Analyze existing app listings, generate optimized metadata following Apple's guidelines and character limits, provide competitive insights, and recommend screenshot storyboard strategies.
Core Workflow
When a user requests ASO optimization or metadata review:
Analyze the App Context
- Understand the app's purpose, features, and target audience
- Identify unique value propositions and competitive differentiators
- Note any changes or updates the user mentions
Load ASO Knowledge Base
- Reference
references/aso_learnings.mdfor comprehensive ASO best practices - Apply competitive analysis strategies
- Use proven optimization patterns
- Reference
Generate Optimized Metadata
- Create optimized app name, subtitle, and promotional text
- Write compelling description with keyword optimization
- Generate keyword list with strategic placement
- Ensure all metadata follows Apple's character limits
Validate Character Counts
- Use
scripts/validate_metadata.pyto verify all metadata meets Apple's requirements - Display validation results with character counts and limit compliance
- Flag any violations with specific corrections needed
- Use
Provide Screenshot Strategy
- Recommend screenshot storyboard sequence
- Suggest messaging hierarchy and visual focus areas
- Align screenshot strategy with metadata messaging
Apple App Store Character Limits
Critical Limits to Validate:
- App Name: 30 characters maximum
- Subtitle: 30 characters maximum
- Promotional Text: 170 characters maximum
- Description: 4,000 characters maximum
- Keywords: 100 characters maximum (comma-separated, no spaces)
- What's New: 4,000 characters maximum
Metadata Validation Process
After generating recommendations, always validate using the validation script:
python scripts/validate_metadata.pyThe script will:
- Prompt for each metadata field
- Calculate character counts
- Check against Apple's limits
- Display results with ✅ (pass) or ❌ (fail) indicators
- Show exact character counts and remaining characters
Integration Pattern:
- Generate metadata recommendations
- Run validation script with recommended content
- Display validation results to user
- Adjust any failing fields and re-validate
Output Format
Structure recommendations as:
📱 App Metadata Recommendations
App Name (X/30 characters) [optimized name]
Subtitle (X/30 characters) [optimized subtitle]
Promotional Text (X/170 characters) [promotional text]
Keywords (X/100 characters) [keyword,list,no,spaces]
Description (X/4000 characters) [full description]
