Generate compelling App Store descriptions that convert browsers into users. Use when writing initial descriptions, improving existing copy, or drafting promotional text and What's New for a major update.

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 Description Writer

Generate compelling App Store descriptions that convert browsers into users.

## When This Skill Activates

- User needs to write initial App Store description
- User wants to improve existing description
- User is preparing for a major update
- User asks about promotional text or What's New

## Information Gathering

Before writing, ask about:

1. **App Basics**
   - What does the app do? (one sentence)
   - Who is it for? (target audience)
   - What problem does it solve?

2. **Key Features**
   - Top 3-5 features
   - What makes it unique vs competitors?
   - Any awards or recognition?

3. **Social Proof**
   - Number of users/downloads (if impressive)
   - Notable reviews or press mentions
   - Any partnerships or integrations?

4. **Tone**
   - Professional / Casual / Fun / Technical?
   - Brand voice keywords?

## Output Format

Generate all three text types:

### 1. Promotional Text (170 characters)
- First thing users see
- Should create curiosity or urgency
- Can be updated without app review
- Good for seasonal/sale messaging

### 2. Full Description (4000 characters max)
Structure:
```
[Opening Hook - 1-2 sentences, problem/benefit focused]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills/app-description-writer@sha256:f91ea0e19c402fdf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.1361023, 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.
