ShipASO

The reason → execute ASO loop for App Store and Google Play.

The product is ShipASO; the codebase, this repo, and the Cloudflare services are named store-ops.

Every other AI ASO tool does one half. Advisory tools (and most "AI ASO agents") reason about your listing then stop at the copy-paste boundary — and they depend on a paid data API. Deploy CLIs (Fastlane, raw APIs) execute but have no ASO brain. ShipASO does both, on both stores, with no paid data dependency.

The open lane: Google Play. There is no public tool that operationally optimizes a Google Play Console listing end-to-end. ShipASO does iOS and Android.

Install — any coding agent

The loop runs in your editor, on your machine, with your credentials. The 33 skills are plain Markdown runbooks over plain CLI tools, and the engine is standard-library Python — so nothing here is tied to one vendor.

Any agent (Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, Amp, Aider…):

bash

git clone https://github.com/airowe/store-ops && cd store-ops

Then point your agent at AGENTS.md — most read it automatically. That file is the front door: the skills index, the credential rules, and how to run the engine. Cursor, Copilot, and Gemini also get a pointer file that redirects there.

Claude Code additionally has a plugin installer:

Code

/plugin marketplace add airowe/store-ops
/plugin install store-ops@store-ops

Either way, audit any listing — read-only, no credentials, no keys:

bash

python3 lib/aso_rank_check.py --bundle com.burbn.instagram "photo,stories,reels"

You get a per-field ASO score of your live listing and the exact next skill to run for each gap. → Full walkthrough + what you'll see: https://shipaso.com/install

Zero install: point your agent at the hosted MCP

No clone, no key, no account:

Terminal

claude mcp add shipaso --transport http https://api.shipaso.com/mcp

Your agent immediately gets preview_app — a real, measured teaser of any App Store app (audit grade, lead organic rank, how many keywords crack the top 10) — and proof, the aggregate rank-win record. The other ten tools (listing audit, keyword gaps, rank check, screenshot scoring, competitor watch, war room, localization gaps, draft copy, and the two Google Play audits) unlock with a free shipaso_ key from app.shipaso.com → Settings → Agent access; re-add the server with --header "Authorization: Bearer <key>". MCP is vendor-neutral, so Cursor and any other MCP client work the same way. Every tool is read or draft; nothing pushes to a live store. Details: skills/shipaso-mcp/SKILL.md.

What's in this repo

ShipASO comes in two forms — run it yourself, or let the hosted agent run it for you:

Path	What
`skills/` + `lib/`	The free OSS agent plugin — 33 skills + the engine (Python, 200 tests). Runs in any coding agent; Claude Code also has a one-command installer.
`cloud/`	The hosted autonomous agent — a Cloudflare app (Workers + D1 + Cron + Pages) that runs the loop on a schedule and surfaces decisions for approval. Engine ported to TypeScript (2,160 tests). See `cloud/README.md` + `cloud/DEPLOY.md`.
`commercial/`, `docs/`	The offer, the launch posts, the landing page.

The plugin is the funnel (discover the agent by running it); the hosted app is the product (it keeps working while you build). Same engine, two surfaces.

Run it yourself, or let it run itself:

Free, in your editor — install the plugin and run the loop yourself in whichever agent you already use. Your credentials, your machine, no cost. Start here ↓ (Install).
Hosted + autonomous — connect an app by bundle id and an agent runs the loop on a weekly schedule: re-checking ranks, watching competitors, drafting the next optimization, surfacing each decision for you to approve. It's live: https://app.shipaso.com

What it does

Code

audit  →  research keywords  →  optimize to char limits  →  push  →  verify rank
(asc/gplay) (no paid API)        (ready copy + commands)   (you approve) (free, over time)

The full loop, not half of it. The data tools (Astro, AppTweak, Sensor Tower) stop at "here's what to do" and leave you in the App Store Connect form. ShipASO picks the keywords, writes the metadata, hands you the push, and then verifies the rank actually moved — the only piece that closes the loop and the one nobody else ships.

Code

/store-ops myapp                     # full chain, both stores
/store-ops myapp --store playstore   # Google Play only
/store-ops myapp --audit-only        # just score the live listing

Try it in 30 seconds (no credentials, no setup)

The verify/watch half runs on the free public iTunes API — try it on any live app right now:

bash

# organic App Store rank for some keywords (any app's bundle id)
python3 lib/aso_rank_check.py \
    --bundle com.burbn.instagram "photo,stories,reels"

# score an app's screenshots against ASO best practice
python3 lib/aso_screenshot_score.py \
    --app instagram --bundle com.burbn.instagram

# resolve a non-US market's keyword-volume + rank constants
python3 lib/aso_locale.py --locale de-DE

Run the test suites (standard-library only — no network, no keys):

bash

python3 lib/run_tests.py

Skills

Reasoning (the IP):

Skill	Does
`aso-audit`	Score a live iOS/Android listing field-by-field vs ASO best practice. Read-only.
`issue-verify`	Check open issues against the source before working them — catches stale "this is missing" claims.
`aso-teardown`	Write a publishable long-form teardown of any app from public measured data. Never estimates revenue.
`aso-keyword-research`	Rank keywords from store autocomplete + competitor scrape + synonyms. No paid data API.
`aso-metadata-optimization`	Generate final copy at exact char limits + emit the push commands. Never auto-ships.
`aso-rank-check`	Read your organic App Store rank per keyword and log it over time — did the change land? Free public iTunes API, no key.
`store-ops`	Router for the full chain.

More reasoning — audit, risk, and research:

Skill	Does
`aso-context`	Scaffold the per-app `context.md` every other ASO skill reads. Start here.
`aso-review-mine`	Mine your own reviews for the words real users use to describe the app.
`aso-offstore-mine`	Mine "best `<category>` apps" articles + YouTube for off-store discovery language.
`aso-localize-research`	Keyword + rank research per market (de-DE, ja-JP, es-MX…) instead of US-only.
`aso-competitor-watch`	Track competitors' listing changes over time — name, subtitle, price, rating.
`aso-screenshot-score`	Score a live screenshot set — count, device/aspect coverage, first-two story.
`aso-review-risk`	Flag copy that gets apps rejected — unverifiable claims, "#1", competitor names.
`aso-rejection-assistant`	Turn a rejection into a plan against the guideline the reviewer actually cited.
`aso-ppo-treatment`	Design a free screenshot A/B test (Product Page Optimization).
`aso-rank-monitor`	Run a keyword set on a cadence so you get deltas, not one snapshot.

Execution — App Store Connect (via the asc CLI):

Skill	Does
`asc-metadata-write-lane`	Create the editable version, attach the build, push the copy — stops before submit.
`asc-screenshot-write-lane`	Put an approved run's screenshot strip on the editable version through ShipASO — ids resolved, per-shot ledger, stops before submit.
`asc-metadata-sync`	Sync + validate metadata; migrate the legacy metadata format.
`asc-localize-metadata`	Translate and sync metadata across locales.
`asc-submission-health`	Preflight a submission, submit a build, monitor review status.
`asc-id-resolver`	Resolve app / build / version / group IDs from human-friendly names.
`asc-ppp-pricing`	Per-territory pricing by purchasing power.
`asc-shots-pipeline`	iOS screenshot capture via xcodebuild / simctl / AXe.
`aso-goldie-config`	Emit a goldie.config.ts from a run — audit-ordered scenes with headlines from the proposed copy, rendered on your own Mac.

Execution — Google Play (via the gplay CLI):

Skill	Does
`gplay-metadata-sync`	Listing sync, including Fastlane format.
`gplay-review-management`	Review monitoring, filtering, and responses.
`gplay-rollout-management`	Staged rollout orchestration and monitoring.
`gplay-vitals-monitoring`	Crashes, ANRs, performance, errors.
`gplay-screenshot-automation`	Android capture across devices/locales via adb + Espresso.
`gplay-ppp-pricing`	Region-specific pricing.

Hosted:

Skill	Does
`shipaso-mcp`	Point your agent at the hosted ShipASO MCP server and drive the loop over it.

Every asc-* / gplay-* skill that writes asks which API key to use before it does — asc resolves credentials from a default profile, and with more than one registered a push through the wrong one succeeds against the wrong account.

Principles

No paid data dependency — reasons over free + owned data (store autocomplete, public listings, your own asc/gplay exports). Every credentialed source is an optional accelerator with a free fallback, never a gate:
- volume — bring your own Apple Search Ads / Google Keyword Planner keys for real search-popularity numbers; without them, an honest autocomplete-rank proxy.
- scrape — bring a context.dev key for clean competitor-listing + brand-data scraping; without it, WebFetch / Crawl4AI. You bring your own keys (it's your data, ToS-clean); the plugin never resells data.
Both stores, official APIs.
Nothing ships without your approval — reasoning writes copy + prints commands; you run the push.
App-agnostic — --app <slug> + a context.md. No hardcoded apps, no secrets in the plugin.

Requirements

To execute: the asc and gplay CLIs installed + authed with your own developer credentials.
The reasoning skills work standalone (they emit commands you can run later).

Install

Code

/plugin marketplace add airowe/store-ops
/plugin install store-ops@store-ops

Open-core — what's free vs. hosted

The plugin is free and MIT-licensed, forever. Everything above — the full audit → research → optimize → push → verify loop, both stores, all 33 skills — runs locally with your own credentials at no cost. Use it, fork it, ship apps with it. That's the whole product for anyone who's comfortable in a terminal.

The line for the hosted tier is convenience, never capability. The free plugin is complete; the paid tier sells you out of the setup pain and the remembering. The hosted agent is live now at https://app.shipaso.com — connect an app and watch the loop run on a schedule.

	Free (this plugin)	Hosted agent
The 33 skills + full loop	✅ all of it	✅ same engine
Real volume data	BYO Apple/Google keys	guided setup
Rank tracking	run `aso-rank-check` by hand	scheduled weekly + history + delta alerts
Standing autonomy (weekly cron)	❌ you re-run it	✅ Indie / Startup / Scale
Apps	unlimited (it's local)	1 (Free) · 3 (Indie) · 10 (Startup) · 50 (Scale)
Approval gate	you run the push	enforced in code — commands withheld until you approve

The tiers:

Tier	Price	What you get
Free	$0	Run the agent yourself in any coding agent. The whole loop, your machine. 1 connected app, manual runs only.
Indie	$6.99/month	The weekly autonomous sweep, up to 3 apps. It proposes, you approve, it ships.
Startup	$19.99/month	The weekly sweep across up to 10 apps, with rank history and competitor watch.
Scale	$64.99/month	Up to 50 apps plus the portfolio roll-up. For agencies and multi-app devs.

We will never resell Apple/Google data through a shared account (that breaks their ToS) — the hosted tier is BYO-credentials too, and we never hold your store credentials; the push is a generated-commands handoff. What you pay for is the guided onboarding, the scheduler, and the history. The differentiator isn't the data — everyone has Apple's popularity numbers. It's that ShipASO ships the metadata and proves the rank moved.
