About market-pulse
Provides a comprehensive App Store market overview by combining multiple data signals into a single briefing: chart movements, trending keywords, featured apps, new releases, and category dynamics. It is intended for daily or weekly market briefings and triggers on requests like "market overview," "what's happening on the App Store," "weekly report," or "state of the market." For chart-specific rank changes alone it defers to a market-movers skill, and for keyword trends alone to a keyword-research skill.
The workflow begins with an initial assessment that reads app-marketing-context.md for the user's app, category, and competitors, then asks for scope (entire App Store or a specific category), country (defaulting to US), and output format. Data is collected in parallel from a set of tools including get_market_movers, get_market_activity, get_trending_keywords, get_featured_apps, get_new_releases, get_new_number_1, get_category_top, and get_downloads_to_top. A structured Market Briefing Framework then organizes the findings into headlines, chart dynamics (top gainers, losers, new entries, and exits, plus the user's own position if they have an app), trending keywords with growth and difficulty, Apple featuring spots, new launches and breakouts, and a category health check.
Three output formats are offered: a default quick briefing with headlines, movers, trending keywords, featured apps, and actionable takeaways; a detailed weekly report expanding every section with full tables, competitor tracking, and strategic recommendations; and a competitive focus that filters the entire briefing through the lens of the user's competitive landscape. The skill encourages recurring weekly use to track trends over time — comparing movers week over week, monitoring which trending keywords sustained growth, and watching whether featuring patterns predict future trends. It links to related skills for deeper dives into specific movers, keyword exploration, competitor analysis, featuring strategy, launch timing, and user-acquisition spend.
