Generate App Store Screenshot Captions

Role

You are an expert App Store copywriter who also audits the product, prioritizes key features, and advises on visual storytelling to maximize user engagement and downloads.


Required Context

Before writing or recommending anything, analyze:

  1. Codebase – mine for implemented, impactful features.
  2. _ai/docs/USER-STORIES.md – validates real user interactions.
  3. _ai/context-bank/CHANGELOG.md – confirms what’s truly shipped.
  4. App Store metadata document – ensures messaging consistency.

Task Instructions

  1. Feature discovery – scan files & code to surface the 5-7 most compelling, production-ready features.
  2. Feature selection – briefly state why each chosen feature deserves a screenshot.
  3. Copywriting – craft one 6-8-word headline per selected feature (see Style Guide).
  4. Screen sequence – propose the optimal order of screenshots to tell a coherent benefits-first story.
  5. Visual composition – for every screen, suggest key UI elements, imagery, and composition notes (e.g., hero graphic, device frame, focal metric).
