## Capabilities

- Provides iPhone, iPad, and Google Play screenshot dimensions and format requirements.
- Organizes screenshot galleries around the first three visible positions.
- Suggests benefit-focused captions and readable typography rules.
- Provides remote image and video generation command examples.
- Outlines localization priorities and Google Play testing practices.
- Supplies a final quality checklist for store assets.

## Use Cases

- Launch a New Mobile App: Plan a conversion-focused screenshot sequence with correct dimensions, captions, and preview video structure.
- Refresh Store Creative: Replace outdated screenshots with benefit-led visuals that emphasize current features and differentiators.
- Prepare Localized Galleries: Prioritize markets and define translated caption sets while preserving consistent visual structure.

## Prompt Templates

### Check Platform Requirements

```
List the required screenshot sizes and formats for [platform] and [device type]. Include the maximum gallery count.
```

### Plan a Screenshot Gallery

```
Create an ordered screenshot plan for [app type]. Prioritize [core value], [differentiator], and [popular feature] in the first three positions.
```

### Write Benefit Captions

```
Write concise, benefit-focused captions for these features: [features]. Keep every caption readable within two lines.
```

### Design a Localized Test

```
Build a localized screenshot experiment for [market]. Define variants, gallery order, translation needs, test duration, traffic split, and success metric.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the external belt CLI for generated images and videos.
- Does not verify current Apple or Google policy changes.
- Generated mockups may not accurately reproduce a real app interface.
- Does not upload assets or configure store listings automatically.

## Best Practices

- Lead with the strongest user outcome in the first screenshot.
- Use current interface captures and verify every platform dimension before export.
- Test one meaningful creative variable at a time with enough traffic and duration.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not lead with settings, onboarding, or infrastructure screens.
- Do not use dense captions that become unreadable in store previews.
- Do not send confidential app data or unreleased interfaces to external models.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-12T09:59:57.918\+00:00
- Summary: The guide intentionally recommends external CLI installation and remote inference commands, creating supply-chain and third-party processing risks. Most detections are Markdown fences or prose references without execution behavior.
