🚀 App Store Optimization (ASO) Agent and Agent Skill System for Claude Code

📋 Overview

The ASO (App Stores Optimization) Agent System for Claude Code is a comprehensive, production-ready multi-agent framework for App Store Optimization (ASO) built for Claude Code and Claude Desktop/Web App. It combines specialized AI agents including a Agent Skill (Claude's New Feature) set with real-time data fetching to generate actionable, copy-paste ready deliverables for iOS and Android app optimization.

Two ways to use:

• 🖥️ Claude Code CLI - Full multi-agent system with automated workflows (developers)
• 🌐 Claude Desktop/Web App - Standalone skill for conversational ASO analysis (everyone)

🎯 What Makes This Different

Unlike generic ASO tools that provide analysis reports, this system delivers:

✅ Copy-Paste Ready Metadata - Character-validated content ready for App Store Connect and Google Play Console ✅ Real Data Integration - iTunes Search API + WebFetch for competitor intelligence ✅ Actionable Task Checklists - 47-item pre-launch validation with success criteria ✅ Specific Timelines - Real calendar dates, not "Week 1" placeholders ✅ Complete Workflow - 5-phase execution from research to ongoing optimization

✨ Features

🤖 Multi-Agent System

4 Specialized Agents working in coordinated workflow:

• aso-master - Orchestrator coordinating all specialist agents (Opus model)
• aso-research - Keyword research + competitor analysis with iTunes API (Opus model)
• aso-optimizer - Metadata generation with character validation (Sonnet model)
• aso-strategist - Launch timelines + ongoing optimization (Opus model)

📊 Real Data Integration

• iTunes Search API - Free, official Apple API for competitor data (tested & working)
• WebFetch Utilities - Additional scraping for comprehensive analysis
• Character Validation - Apple (30/30/100) and Google (50/80/4000) limits enforced
• Natural Language Checking - No keyword stuffing, reads professionally
