Is the App Store skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the App Store SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install App Store?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use App Store 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.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 6c95ba3

Fetched skills/app-store/SKILL.md and spot-checked 3 referenced sub-skills (app-description-writer, screenshot-planner, keyword-optimizer) — all HTTP 200. Frontmatter parses cleanly (name+description+allowed-tools); no security smells, no hardcoded paths; verified install into a temp HOME placed SKILL.md correctly. OUTPUT test: wrote an App Store description for a fictional Pomodoro app "FocusFlow" as baseline (no skill) vs. following the app-description-writer structure + main-skill Key Principles. Baseline opened with "Welcome to FocusFlow, the best Pomodoro timer" and "#1 way", said "Free to download / Download it free", and embedded a URL (https://focusflow.app) — all three explicitly forbidden by the skill (prohibited terms free/best/#1, no "Welcome to...", no URLs). The skill version dropped every prohibited term, opened with a benefit hook ("Distraction wins when your day has no shape"), routed contact to Settings instead of a URL, and produced three separated deliverables (170-char promo text, structured full description, versioned What's New) the baseline lacked.

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

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What App Store does

A dispatcher skill for App Store Optimization and marketing that routes to sub-skills for writing app descriptions and promotional text, planning screenshot sequences, optimizing title/subtitle/keywords, responding to reviews, Apple Search Ads, and handling rejections. Triggers when the user needs help with App Store presence, ASO, marketing copy, or customer/review communication for an iOS/macOS app. Enforces platform rules (character limits, no prohibited terms like free/best/#1, no URLs) and benefit-led copy.

How to install App Store

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills.git /tmp/app-store-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/app-store-src/skills/app-store ~/.claude/skills/app-store
# SKILL.md lives at skills/app-store/SKILL.md (not repo root), so copy that one dir.
# It is a router: it bundles ~12 sub-skills (app-description-writer, screenshot-planner,
# keyword-optimizer, review-response-writer, apple-search-ads, rejection-handler, etc.),
# each with its own SKILL.md, all copied by the command above.
# No external deps, API keys, or scripts. allowed-tools: Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep/AskUserQuestion/WebSearch.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
