aso-keyword-research
Use to find, discover, brainstorm, or expand candidate App Store keywords for an iOS/macOS app before writing metadata, backed by real `aso keywords`/`aso suggest` data rather than guessing. Trigger on "what keywords should I target", "help me find keywords", "keyword research for my app", "long-tail keywords for a new app", or "what should my next update focus on for search". Produces a ranked, scored keyword shortlist with tiers (primary, secondary, long-tail, defensive, competitor-gap) and a recommended token set, not a finished metadata draft, hand that to `aso-metadata`.

# ASO Keyword Research
Find keywords the app can realistically win, backed by `aso` data: never gut feel.
Preflight: see the `aso` router skill (CLI installed, session status). Popularity needs a session; difficulty/rank/opportunity work without one.
## Iron law
**Never shortlist a keyword without running it through `aso keywords`.** Popularity and difficulty come from the CLI, not intuition.
## Step 1: Seed keywords
Brainstorm 10-20 seeds across categories, not just the obvious core term:
