Available Skills
store-growth-audit/
Stage-by-stage audit of an app's App Store growth machinery against a 54-item P0–P9 playbook — every item scored from an ASC read, a codebase check, or an explicit question, then routed to the skill that fixes it. Read-only; works for live apps (audit) and pre-launch apps (growth plan).
store-signals/
Close the post-launch loop — turn a live app's App Store signals (reviews, analytics, sales, crashes, listing conversion) into a metric-tagged backlog, and verify whether last cycle's changes moved the metric they promised to move.
analytics-interpretation/
Interpret app metrics and make data-driven decisions. Covers DAU/MAU, retention curves, LTV/ARPU, App Store Connect analytics, funnel analysis (AARRR), cohort analysis, and decision trees for what to fix based on which metric is underperforming.
press-media/
Get press coverage and media attention for your app. Covers press kit preparation, finding relevant journalists/bloggers/YouTubers, pitch timing and embargo strategy, indie developer story angles, and email templates for outreach.
community-building/
Build and engage a user community around your app. Covers platform selection (Twitter/X, Mastodon, Reddit, Discord), building in public strategy, content calendars for solo developers, and converting community members into advocates.
indie-business/
Business fundamentals for indie app developers. Covers business entity setup (LLC, S-Corp), Apple Small Business Program, tax basics for app revenue, revenue tracking, when to hire, and financial planning for indie sustainability.
