## What it does

This skill reviews your mobile analytics setup. It starts by checking `app-marketing-context.md`, gathering current tooling, and asking key performance questions. The resulting audit highlights tracking gaps and defines executive and funnel dashboards.

The framework organizes metrics across acquisition, engagement, retention, and revenue. It includes formulas for metrics like DAU/MAU stickiness, trial-to-paid conversion, and churn rate alongside standard benchmarks, such as Day 1 retention between 25-40%. Events follow a `snake_case` convention (`object_action`) for onboarding and paywall interactions.

If you run paid user acquisition, you will need a dedicated tracker like Adjust or AppsFlyer, because free App Store Connect data cannot handle ad attribution.
