aso-router
by Eronredaso-router is the routing layer for the ASO Skills library. It reads an ambiguous app-marketing request and loads the right specialist skill instead of answering directly. Use the aso-router skill for ASO, App Store, Google Play, keywords, rankings, screenshots, conversion, monetization, retention, paid UA, launches, and app analytics—especially in Workflow Automation when the best next skill is not obvious.
This skill scores 82/100, which means it is a solid directory candidate with enough routing value for users to install. It gives clear trigger cues, a defined role as a dispatcher rather than an answerer, and enough operational guidance for an agent to use it with less guesswork than a generic prompt.
- Explicit trigger language covers common ASO and app-marketing requests, including ambiguous ones that need routing first.
- Operational role is clear: it tells the agent to route to one to three specialist skills, not solve the task itself.
- The document includes a routing workflow and decision rule for ambiguity, which improves triggerability and agent execution.
- The repository excerpt does not show the full routing table, so users cannot judge coverage depth from this page alone.
- No install command, support files, or references are present, which limits confidence in broader tooling or maintenance support.
Overview of aso-router skill
aso-router is the front door for the ASO Skills library: it reads an app-marketing request and sends it to the right specialist skill instead of trying to answer the question itself. Use the aso-router skill when the user is asking about App Store or Google Play work, but the best next skill is not obvious yet.
This is most useful for agents handling mixed requests such as ASO, keywords, rankings, screenshots, conversion, ratings, monetization, retention, paid UA, launches, or app analytics. If you are building a Workflow Automation flow, aso-router helps reduce bad skill picks and prevents the assistant from drifting into a generic app-marketing answer.
The main value is decision quality: one router step, one short loading message, then a handoff to a specialist skill. It is a good fit when you want fast triage, consistent routing, and less guesswork at the start of an app-growth task.
What aso-router is for
aso-router exists to classify intent, not to produce the final ASO output. It is designed for ambiguous requests like “help me with my app,” “which skill should I use,” or broad questions about app growth where the right specialist is unclear.
When it is the right first skill
Use aso-router first when the user mentions app store terms, app marketing goals, or performance metrics but does not clearly name a specific workflow. It is especially useful when a request could belong to keyword research, audit, creative, analytics, or monetization, and you want the router to choose the most relevant path.
What makes it different
Unlike a generic prompt, aso-router has an explicit dispatch role and a hard cap on how many skills it can load at once. That constraint is useful for automation because it keeps the agent focused, avoids over-broad tool selection, and forces a clarifying question when the request is genuinely unclear.
How to Use aso-router skill
Install and load context
Install the aso-router skill from the Eronred/aso-skills repository and then read its SKILL.md first. The practical install-oriented workflow is simple: load the router, let it choose the specialist skill, then continue in that skill’s own instructions.
A typical setup looks like:
- Add the
aso-routerskill to your skill library. - Open
skills/aso-router/SKILL.md. - Route the user request before doing any ASO analysis.
- Hand off to the selected specialist skill and follow that skill’s instructions.
How to prompt it well
The best input is a short but specific app-growth goal, not a fully solved analysis request. Strong prompts name the platform, app stage, and business objective, such as “We need to improve App Store conversion for a subscription app after a new screenshot set” or “I need the right skill for a Google Play ranking drop.”
Weak inputs are broad phrases like “fix my app” or “do ASO,” because they force more ambiguity and may trigger a clarifying question. If you want aso-router to work well in Workflow Automation, include the store, the problem type, and whether you want research, audit, creative, or analytics support.
Files to read first
Start with SKILL.md because it contains the routing behavior and the loading rule. If your implementation mirrors the repository structure, also inspect any linked routing table sections inside the file before trying to extend or replicate the behavior elsewhere.
Practical routing tips
Keep the first turn narrow: one request, one probable outcome, one specialist skill. If the user already names a specific skill like /aso-audit or /keyword-research, skip aso-router and go straight there. If the request is broad but still app-related, let the router decide rather than guessing based on keywords alone.
aso-router skill FAQ
Is aso-router a replacement for other ASO skills?
No. aso-router is only the dispatcher. It is useful because it gets you to the right specialist faster, but the actual ASO work still happens in the downstream skill it loads.
When should I not use aso-router?
Do not use aso-router when the user explicitly asked for a known specialist skill, or when the task is clearly outside app growth. If the request is already narrow and unambiguous, routing adds friction instead of value.
Is aso-router beginner-friendly?
Yes, because it lowers the chance of choosing the wrong ASO path. Beginners benefit most when they have a fuzzy request and need help deciding whether the task is about keywords, creative, audits, analytics, or monetization.
What should I expect from aso-router for Workflow Automation?
Expect a lightweight control layer, not a research engine. In automation flows, aso-router is best used as the first branching step before specialized skills handle the real work.
How to Improve aso-router skill
Give the router stronger intent signals
The best way to improve results from the aso-router skill is to make the user’s goal more legible. Include platform, store, app type, and the immediate outcome you want, for example: “App Store conversion is down after a screenshot refresh, and I need the right skill to diagnose it.”
Avoid the most common failure mode
The main failure mode is overloading the router with multiple goals at once. A prompt that asks for keywords, screenshots, metadata, competitors, and revenue strategy in one sentence can force ambiguity; splitting the request usually produces a better skill match.
Iterate after the first handoff
If the router chooses a specialist skill that is close but not perfect, refine the next prompt with the missing context rather than restarting broadly. Mention the store, country, app category, and whether the work is diagnostic, optimization, or planning; those details help the next skill produce better output on the first pass.
Use aso-router as a triage layer
The highest-value use of aso-router is fast triage in mixed app-marketing workflows. Treat it as the step that decides “where should this go?” and reserve deeper analysis for the specialist skill it loads, which keeps the whole ASO workflow faster and more reliable.
