## What it does

Point the skill at an App Store or Google Play URL. It pulls the listing fields, then scores them against six weighted dimensions: title and subtitle, description, visual assets, ratings and reviews, metadata and freshness, conversion signals. The weighted total comes back with an ordered set of edits.

Scoring starts with brand maturity. A household-name app that breaks textbook ASO rules may be doing it on purpose; an unknown one probably is not. If `.agents/product-marketing.md` sits in the project, the skill reads it first and asks only about what is missing. Platform limits and benchmark guidance live in `references/apple-specs.md`, `references/google-play-specs.md` and `references/benchmarks.md`.

Screenshots and their captions do not survive WebFetch, because store pages render on the client. The skill captures the page with browser tools instead, and asks you for a screenshot when those are unavailable. Apple's 170-character promotional text often looks identical to the description in scraped HTML, so confirming it means opening App Store Connect yourself.

# Suede ASO Audit

Analyze App Store and Google Play listings with the Suede ASO scoring system. Fetch
live listing data, score metadata, visuals, and ratings, then produce a
prioritized action plan.

## Before Auditing

**Check for product marketing context first:**
If `.agents/product-marketing.md` exists (or `.claude/product-marketing.md`, or the legacy `product-marketing-context.md` filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

## Phase 1: Identify Store & Fetch

### Detect store type from URL

```
Apple:  apps.apple.com/{country}/app/{name}/id{digits}
Google: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id={package}
```

If the user gives an app name instead of a URL, search the web for:
`site:apps.apple.com "{app name}"` or `site:play.google.com "{app name}"`

### Fetch the listing

Use WebFetch to retrieve the listing page. Extract every available field:

**Apple App Store fields:**

- App name (title): 30 char limit
- Subtitle: 30 char limit
- Description (long): not indexed for search, but matters for conversion
- Promotional text: 170 chars, updatable without new release
- Category (primary + secondary)
- Screenshots (count, order, caption text)
- Preview video (presence, duration)
- Rating (average + count)
- Recent reviews (visible ones)
- Price / in-app purchases
- Developer name
- Last updated date
- Version history notes
- Age rating
- Size
- Languages / localizations listed
- In-app events (if any visible)

**Google Play fields:**

- App name (title): 30 char limit
- Short description: 80 char limit
- Full description: 4,000 char limit, IS indexed for search
- Category + tags
- Feature graphic (presence)
- Screenshots (count, order)
- Preview video (presence)
- Rating (average + count)
- Recent reviews (visible ones)
- Price / in-app purchases
- Developer name
- Last updated date
