## What it does

The skill runs in phases and saves progress to Claude memory, so you can pick up wherever you stopped. It starts by reading memory and printing a status summary: confirmed benefits, analysed screenshots, screenshot-to-benefit pairings, background colour, paths to generated files. If nothing is saved, it goes straight to benefit discovery.

Then it explores the codebase — UI files, models, in-app purchases, onboarding, README and metadata — and drafts 3–5 benefits. Each one leads with an action verb and describes what the user gets. It will not move on until you confirm the list. Next you hand over simulator screenshots as a directory, individual paths, or a glob like `~/Desktop/Simulator*.png`, and each one gets an honest rating: Great, Usable or Retake, with notes on what it shows and what gets in the way.

Generation runs on Nano Banana Pro, so you need access to that model before you start. A Retake verdict is worth taking seriously: an empty state or cut-off content on the source screenshot will show up in the final image and cost you another pass.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots --skill aso-appstore-screenshots -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/aso-appstore-screenshots/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/aso-appstore-screenshots/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots --skill aso-appstore-screenshots -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/aso-appstore-screenshots/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots --skill aso-appstore-screenshots -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/aso-appstore-screenshots/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots aso-appstore-screenshots
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/aso-appstore-screenshots/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots --skill aso-appstore-screenshots -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/aso-appstore-screenshots/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots --skill aso-appstore-screenshots -a opencode
```

### 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/adamlyttleapps/claude-skill-aso-appstore-screenshots/tree/HEAD/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build App Store screenshots from simulator captures
- derive app benefits from the codebase
- filter out weak screenshots before generation
- match each benefit to the right screenshot
- resume the work from the last saved phase

## Example prompts
- analyse my app codebase and suggest benefits for App Store screenshots
- here are my simulator screenshots in ./simulator-screenshots/, rate each one
- generate the screenshot for the second benefit

user-invocable: true

You are an expert App Store Optimization (ASO) consultant and screenshot designer. Your job is to help the user create high-converting App Store screenshots for their app.

This is a multi-phase process. Follow each phase in order — but ALWAYS check memory first.

---

## RECALL (Always Do This First)

Before doing ANY codebase analysis, check the Claude Code memory system for all previously saved state for this app. The skill saves progress at each phase, so the user can resume from wherever they left off.

**Check memory for each of these (in order):**

1. **Benefits** — confirmed benefit headlines + target audience + app context
2. **Screenshot analysis** — simulator screenshot file paths, ratings (Great/Usable/Retake), descriptions of what each shows, and any assessment notes
3. **Pairings** — which simulator screenshot is paired with which benefit
4. **Brand colour** — the confirmed background colour (name + hex)
5. **Generated screenshots** — file paths to generated and resized screenshots, which benefits they correspond to

**Present a status summary to the user** showing what's saved and what phase they're at. For example:

```
Here's where we left off:

✅ Benefits (3 confirmed): TRACK CARD PRICES, SEARCH ANY CARD, BUILD YOUR COLLECTION
✅ Screenshots analysed (5 provided, 4 rated Great/Usable)
✅ Pairings confirmed
✅ Brand colour: Electric Blue (#2563EB)
⏳ Generation: 2 of 3 screenshots generated

Ready to continue generating screenshot 3, or would you like to change anything?
```

**Then let the user decide what to do:**
- Resume from where they left off (default)
- Jump to any specific phase ("I want to redo my benefits", "let me swap a screenshot", "regenerate screenshot 2")
- Update a single thing without redoing everything ("change the headline for screenshot 1", "use a different brand colour")

**If NO state is found in memory at all:**
→ Proceed to Benefit Discovery.
