What you need first
- Claude or Claude Code installed
- Git, to clone the repo or add the plugin
- Python 3.8 or newer for the tools
- Public pages, screenshots, or your own account for the app you want to study

Prompt for your agent
Using the replica-skill repo (github.com/Jakeschincariol/replica-skill), run reviews.py on <replica/reviews.csv>. Expected output: ranked complaint themes with linked quotes. Verify that every quote printed matches a row in the input file and carries that row's URL.
Caveat. The tool only ranks reviews you supply, and the README says it drops any review without a link.
