pp-sensortower
Every free Sensor Tower ranking, plus the rank history the dashboard forgets the moment you close the tab. Trigger phrases: `what rank is this app`, `who is new in the app store charts`, `why did this app climb the charts`, `compare this app on ios and android`, `top free apps in this category`, `use sensortower`, `run sensortower`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds commands to extract and analyze app ranking history from Sensor Tower that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires sensortower-pp-cli installed locally. Requires sensortower account access. About 11k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.

See the repository agent guide, section "Generated artifacts: registry.json, cli-skills/". --> Sensor Tower — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the sensortower-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: sensortower-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. Sensor Tower's dashboard shows you a rank right now and keeps no history you can query. This CLI mirrors app profiles, top charts, and publisher portfolios into local SQLite, then answers the questions the web UI structurally cannot: what moved since last week (movers), which release actually shifted the chart (teardown), and how the same product stands on iOS versus Android (compare). Ranks are exact and free; the revenue estimates are coarse buckets, so the commands lean on rank movement and never dress a bucket up as a precise figure. …
How to use it
