What it does
When installed, the agent researches an existing app you want to clone, gathers public user reviews and feature requests from sources like app stores, Reddit, Hacker News and review sites, and organises them into ranked lists of complaints, missing features and unserved needs. It then proposes a fix plan and a positioning angle for your own version, quoting reviewers verbatim with links. A bundled Python script groups the reviews into themes and flags thin evidence, but the agent is instructed to read and copy reviews by hand rather than scrape.
Great for
- Founders or indie developers planning a differentiated clone of an existing app
- Product managers who want evidence-based feature priorities from real user feedback
- Marketers looking for positioning angles grounded in competitor user complaints
Skip it if
- Copying an app's code, design or branding, since the skill is about finding gaps, and legal questions about comparisons need a lawyer (the skill itself says so)
- Getting fake or invented testimonials; the skill forbids this, but it would be risky and illegal to ignore those rules
- Small samples: the skill marks themes with fewer than 3 reviews or one source as thin, and results from a few comments are weak evidence
Try asking
- “What do people hate about Notion? Read the reviews and rank the top complaints.”
- “Find the gap in the meditation apps my competitor has, and give me a positioning angle.”
- “Read the reviews for this app and list the features users keep asking for, with links.”
- “Use replica-entrepreneur to build a fix plan from the 1 to 3 star reviews I collected.”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Collect at least 100 reviews across three or more sources, and include 3 and 4 star reviews, since those often reveal the most useful fixes.
- Edit themes.json to match the category of the app you are studying so the ranking reflects its real problems.
- Verify every quote and link yourself before using them in any internal plan, and never put reviewer words on a public landing page.
