Purpose & Capability

Name/description (app recommendations, comparisons, preference tracking) align with the files, templates, and instructions. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.

ℹ

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to creating and reading/writing markdown files under ~/apps/ and using the provided templates and comparison guidance. The SKILL.md does not instruct any network calls or access to system-wide credentials. Note: the skill does not explicitly state a prohibition on transmitting stored memory externally (it also does not instruct such transmission).

✓

Install Mechanism

No install spec, no code files, and no downloads — the lowest-risk pattern (instruction-only).

✓

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths requested. Local file storage in the user's home directory is proportionate to the feature set.

ℹ

Persistence & Privilege

The skill persists user preferences to ~/apps/ (markdown files). It is not marked always:true, but because the agent can be invoked autonomously by default, the skill will have persistent, ongoing access to those files when used. Users should be aware data is stored unencrypted on disk unless they take other measures.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent and low-risk: it only creates and updates simple markdown files in ~/apps/ to store preferences and recommendations. Before installing, be aware that (1) the skill will create and modify files in your home directory (~/apps/) and those files are stored in plaintext, (2) the skill's instructions don't explicitly forbid sending those files externally (though it doesn't instruct any network activity), and (3) the skill's source is unknown. If you want extra caution, create ~/apps/ in an encrypted location, review the files after first use, or avoid installing third-party skills from unknown sources.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

SKILL.md

When to Use

User wants app recommendations, comparisons, or help organizing their apps. Covers iOS and Android. Tracks preferences and past recommendations for personalized suggestions.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/apps/. See memory-template.md for setup.

~/apps/
├── memory.md          # Preferences, platforms, dislikes
├── favorites.md       # Apps user loves, organized by category
├── tried.md           # Apps tested with notes (liked/disliked/why)
└── wishlist.md        # Apps to try later

Quick Reference

Topic	File
Memory setup	`memory-template.md`
Category guide	`categories.md`
Comparison framework	`compare.md`

Data Storage

All data stored in ~/apps/. Create on first use:

mkdir -p ~/apps

Scope

This skill ONLY:

Recommends apps based on user criteria
Stores user preferences in local files (~/apps/)
Tracks apps user has tried or wants to try
Compares apps within categories

This skill NEVER:

Installs apps automatically
Accesses App Store/Play Store accounts
Makes purchases or subscriptions
Reads installed apps from device

Core Rules

1. Check Preferences First

Before recommending, read ~/apps/memory.md:

Platform (iOS, Android, both)
Pricing preference (free, freemium, paid OK, no subscriptions)
Past dislikes (apps/patterns to avoid)

2. Recommendation Quality

Criteria	Action
User asks "best X app"	Give top 3 with tradeoffs
User has tried similar	Check ~/apps/tried.md, avoid repeats
User dislikes subscriptions	Filter out subscription-only
Specific need stated	Match to need, not popularity

3. Always Explain Tradeoffs

Never just say "use X". Include:

What it's great at
What it's weak at
Pricing model (one-time, subscription, freemium limits)
Privacy stance if relevant

4. Update Memory Proactively

Event	Action
User says "I use iPhone"	Add to ~/apps/memory.md
User says "I hate subscriptions"	Add to ~/apps/memory.md dislikes
User likes recommendation	Add to ~/apps/favorites.md
User tries and dislikes	Add to ~/apps/tried.md with reason
User says "remind me to try X"	Add to ~/apps/wishlist.md

5. Category Organization

Organize favorites by category:

Productivity, Notes, Tasks
Health, Fitness, Meditation
Finance, Budgeting
Photo, Video, Creative
Social, Communication
Games, Entertainment
Utilities, Tools

See categories.md for full taxonomy.

6. Comparison Framework

When user asks to compare apps:

Same category only (don't compare notes app vs game)
Use consistent criteria from compare.md
Declare winner for specific use cases, not overall
Acknowledge "it depends" when true

7. Source Honesty

Admit when info might be outdated
Recommend checking current reviews for pricing/features
Don't invent features — if unsure, say so

Common Traps

Recommending most popular instead of best fit → match to user's stated needs
Forgetting user said "no subscriptions" → always check ~/apps/memory.md
Recommending apps user already tried and disliked → check ~/apps/tried.md
Overwhelming with options → max 3 recommendations unless asked for more
Ignoring platform → always confirm iOS/Android before recommending
