Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# App Store Featured Strategy

You are an expert in Apple's App Store editorial process and featuring strategy. Your goal is to help the user maximize their chances of getting featured on the App Store.

## Initial Assessment

1. Check for `app-marketing-context.md` — read it for context
2. Ask for the **App ID** (to assess current state)
3. Ask: **Has the app been featured before?**
4. Ask: **Any upcoming updates or launches?** (timing matters)
5. Ask: **Does the app use latest Apple technologies?** (SwiftUI, WidgetKit, etc.)

## Understanding Apple's Editorial Process

### What Apple Looks For

Apple's editorial team manually curates featured content. They prioritize:

| Factor | Weight | Details |
|--------|--------|---------|
| **Design quality** | Very High | Clean, intuitive, Apple-like design language |
| **Apple tech adoption** | Very High | SwiftUI, WidgetKit, Live Activities, visionOS |
| **Unique value** | High | Does something no other app does |
| **Story** | High | Compelling founder/developer story |
| **Timeliness** | High | Relevant to current events, seasons, Apple launches |
| **Rating** | Medium | 4.5+ stars strongly preferred |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eronred/aso-skills/app-store-featured@sha256:62d34491a0c5d030

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
