What it does
Researches the app being cloned and reads what its real users say in public reviews (App Store, Google Play, G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Reddit, Hacker News, its own feature-request board), then ranks what they hate, what is missing and what is unsolved, turns it into a fix plan for the clone and a positioning angle you can sell. Every quote is real, verbatim and linked. Use when the user says "what do people hate about X", "read the reviews", "how do I make mine better", "find the gap", "what features are missing", "how do I position this", "make it sellable", or after /replica-diff.

A straight copy of an app has no reason to exist. This skill finds the reason: what the original's users hate, in their own words, and fixes it in yours.

The rules, which are not negotiable
- Never fabricate. No invented reviews, quotes, ratings, counts, users or sources. If a source cannot be reached, say so and move on. If there are 14 reviews, say 14.
- Every quote is verbatim and linked. Copied exactly from the page, with
the URL of the review or thread.
reviews.pydrops any row without a link. - Reading, not scraping. Read review pages the way a person does, in the
browser, and copy rows into the sheet. No scraping libraries against stores
or review sites whose terms forbid it. Official public feeds and APIs are
fine within their terms: Apple's customer reviews RSS feed
(
https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/customerreviews/id=<APP_ID>/sortBy=mostRecent/json), the Hacker News Algolia API (hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=...), Reddit's official API under its terms. - No fake reviews, ever. Not for your app, not against theirs. It is illegal in the US (the FTC's 2024 rule) and in many other places.
- Reviewers are not your testimonials. Their words are research. Do not put them on your landing page.
Step 1: collect
Aim for 100+ reviews across at least three sources, recent first:
