Can I use App Description Writer with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Fetched SKILL.md via raw GitHub; the dir holds only SKILL.md (no scripts to break), frontmatter parses with name+description, and a clean-HOME clone+cp placed SKILL.md at the correct path with no security smells. For OUTPUT I wrote two artifacts for a fictional Pomodoro app "FocusFlow" (adw_baseline.md vs adw_skill.md): the baseline opened with "Welcome to..." and embedded a URL — both explicitly banned in the skill's Don'ts — and produced only a single text block. The skill-following artifact avoided both, split output into the three required App Store fields (measured promo text = 116/170 chars), and paired each feature with a benefit. Trigger tested with 5 phrasings; the two adjacent non-triggers (ASO keyword optimization, blog launch post) correctly route elsewhere.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What App Description Writer does

A prompt-only skill that generates the three App Store text fields — 170-char promotional text, full description, and What's New — using fixed structures, character-limit references, and utility/creative templates. Triggers when a user asks to write or improve an App Store description, promotional text, or What's New copy for an iOS/macOS app.

# Pure prompt skill: no scripts, no deps, no API keys. SKILL.md lands at ~/.claude/skills/app-description-writer/SKILL.md
# Plugin alternative: repo README documents install as a Claude Code plugin marketplace (rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills)
