app-name-check

An agent skill that names your iOS app so people can find it. Built for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and anything else that reads skills.

Most apps launch to zero downloads because they're named after an idea, and people search for what an app does. This skill reads your project, finds searches that fit, checks them against live App Store results and writes your listing.

Then ask your agent: "What should I call this app in the US and Germany?"
