## What it does

This skill builds a structured visual narrative for the App Store, sequencing screens from the main hook to core value, features, and proof points. The final output contains numbered PNG files at 1290×2796 resolution for iPhone 6.9" displays, accompanied by a `_preview.png` contact sheet. As inputs, it takes a `brand.md` file, raw interface exports, Figma files, or an existing App Store listing retrieved via Pika MCP.

Paid generation stops until you approve the cost. Before calling image tools, the skill checks your balance via `identity_balance` and requires a manual `proceed` response, citing an estimate of 150–300 credits (roughly $1.50–$3.00). When building concepts without working software, passing `demo_mode: true` with a brief produces illustrative UI mocks labeled strictly for demo use.

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Pika-Labs/Pika-Plugins/tree/HEAD/skills/app-store-screens/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- produce a 5 to 6 screen sequence following brand specs
- format product graphics to 1290×2796 for iPhone 6.9" displays
- build a narrative arc from core value to proof points
- create concept UI mocks for launch demos without existing software

## Example prompts
- Generate App Store screenshots using `brand.md` and raw UI images from `./screens`
- Build an App Store screenshot set from `brand.md` using the `--quick` flag
- Create launch demo screens with `demo_mode: true` and details from `demo_brief.md`

# App Store Screens

Take a brand plus real product screens and produce a 5–6 screen App Store campaign at iPhone 6.9" size (1290×2796). The product screens can come from raw exports, Figma/source files, or a public App Store listing fetched through Pika MCP. Story-driven, splashy, strict to the brand.

This is a sister skill to `build-a-brand` — it consumes that skill's `brand.md` spec, but works equally well with any brand spec the user supplies.

## Cost transparency gate

Before any paid MCP call, call `identity_balance({verbose: true})` once. Surface the current balance, recent burn rate, and remaining runway, then gate the run with this exact message:

> Estimated cost: about 150-300 credits (~$1.50-$3.00) for a typical 5-6 screen set using GPT-image-2, PNG renders, post-render analyze_media QA, and full-resolution individual PNG QA. This is below $5, but Reply `proceed` to continue or `cancel` to stop.

Do not call any paid MCP tool until the user replies `proceed`. If the user replies `cancel`, stop without generating. For non-interactive `--quick` or `--config` callers, require `cost_ack=proceed` in the config; if it is absent, stop with the estimate instead of spending credits.

## The deliverable

5 or 6 PNGs, numbered, saved to `~/Desktop/[app-name]-app-store-screens/` (or wherever the user prefers):

```
01_hook.png            ← biggest claim, works as a search-result thumbnail
02_value.png           ← the one thing the app does best
03_feature_a.png       ← specific capability
04_feature_b.png       ← another specific capability
05_proof.png           ← social proof, awards, "loved by", differentiator
