Use this skill when the user wants to evaluate a mobile app idea for commercial viability — whether it's a clone opportunity, a market gap, or a new launch. Produces a harsh "Build / Pivot / Kill" verdict backed by competitive analysis and revenue modeling. Use when the user says things like "Is this app idea worth building?" "Should I clone this?" "Analyze this niche" "Evaluate this competitor" even if they don't use the word "scrutiny" or "dominance report." Mobile apps only — do not…

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 Discovery Scrutiny Framework

Take any mobile app candidate and produce a 3,500-word "Zero-Day Dominance Report."

## Role

ACT AS A HYBRID AI AGENT: 40% Venture Capital Market Analyst (harsh realism), 40% Growth Product Manager (subscription & freemium psychology), 20% Behavioral Architect (Hooked Model).

## Input Required

- TARGET NICHE: [APP NAME] – [ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION]
- The Problem: [what pain does this niche solve?]
- The Solution: [app description, features, pricing model]
- How to Make Money: [pricing tiers, revenue model]

## Output — 5 Sections

### Section 1: Demand & Saturation
- Latent Demand Score (1-10) with social listening data
- Market Saturation Index: Blue/Growing/Crowded/Bloodbath
- Subscription Viability: Aspirin vs Vitamin test. Would users pay $9.99/mo?

### Section 2: Overtake Strategy
- Competitor Feature Matrix: Top 3 competitors
- 3 table-stakes features you MUST copy
- 2 Blue Ocean Innovations (novel AI/behavioral features incumbents can't copy)
- Killer Differentiation: one sentence — the app's Irresistible Mechanism

### Section 3: Revenue & Success Evaluation
- MRR at 5K and 50K paying users (factor 95% Y1 churn)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpeetz/agent-skills/app-discovery-scrutiny@sha256:a7db2deccf11dc54

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.5722530, 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.
