Asc Aso Audit

Runs a two-phase App Store Optimization audit on local metadata files. First does offline checks for keyword waste (tokens duplicated across subtitle and keywords fields), underutilized fields, bad separators, and cross-locale gaps. Then hits Astro MCP to pull competitor keywords, suggestions, and rankings across multiple stores, surfacing what you're missing ranked by popularity. The cross-field combo logic is smart: it flags when adding a single keyword would complete high-value phrase matches across title, subtitle, and keywords. Expects metadata in the canonical layout from `asc metadata pull`. Best run after every metadata update or when prepping a new version.

Files

asc ASO audit

Run a two-phase ASO audit: offline checks against local metadata files, then keyword gap analysis via Astro MCP. When available, include Apple-generated app tags as a discoverability signal.

Preconditions

Metadata pulled locally into canonical files via asc metadata pull --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --dir "./metadata".
If metadata came from asc migrate export or asc localizations download, normalize it into the canonical ./metadata layout before running this skill.
For Astro gap analysis: app tracked in Astro MCP (optional — offline checks run without it).
For Apple-generated discoverability tags: asc app-tags list --app "APP_ID" --output json works when the API returns tags for the app.

Before You Start

Read references/aso_rules.md to understand the rules each check enforces.
Identify the latest version directory under metadata/version/ (highest semantic version number). Use this for all version-level fields.
The primary locale is en-US unless the user specifies otherwise.
