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 Optimization You are optimizing an iOS App Store listing. 70% of App Store visitors find apps through search and 65% of downloads happen immediately after a search — the listing does more selling than the landing page. Every rule below exists because the search algorithm indexes a small, known set of surfaces, and everything else is a conversion tool, not a discovery tool. ## The only fields that rank Apple indexes exactly 160 characters of owned keyword surface. Never spend effort "optimizing the description for keywords" — the description and promotional text (170 chars, updatable without a new version) are NOT indexed. They affect conversion, not discovery. The description still matters for one discovery mechanism: Apple's LLM generates App Store *tags* from the description and screenshots, so it must name the app's category and core use cases in plain words — for the tag generator, not for keyword rankings. Google also indexes the description on the web App Store (apps.apple.com), a second discovery channel Apple's own search ignores. | Field | Limit | Keyword weight | Visible to users | |---|---|---|---| | App Name | 30 chars | Highest | Yes | …

How to install
mdr add alexszczurek/before-skills/aso@sha256:27bef24f2e85874cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.eb40f16, 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.
