| Capability | Review focus |
|---|---|
| Policy coverage | Routes reviews across all 14 Google Play Policy Center areas |
| Evidence discovery | Uses framework-aware markers to find relevant code, configuration, SDK, UI, data-flow, and Play Console evidence |
| Alignment | Compares released behavior with disclosures, listings, audience, ratings, and declarations |
| Triage and remediation | Separates findings from unresolved risks and proposes the smallest compliant change |
| Sources | Links findings to the applicable official page and records the check date |
Each policy module provides non-exhaustive search seeds for files, symbols, dependencies, UI strings, data flows, and Play Console evidence. The reviewer first detects the project type and release configuration, then expands those seeds with project-specific terminology and follows imports, call sites, generated output, SDK behavior, backend contracts, and remote configuration.
A match is only an investigation lead, and the absence of a listed marker does not end the search or prove compliance. See Using Detection Markers for the complete method.
Register the repository marketplace:
codex plugin marketplace add eserdeiro/google-play-reviewOpen /plugins, select the Google Play Review marketplace, and install
google-play-review.
/plugin marketplace add eserdeiro/google-play-review
/plugin install google-play-review@google-play-reviewInstall through the skills CLI:
npx skills add eserdeiro/google-play-reviewAsk for the review in natural language. The request can target the whole app, one feature, a policy notice, or a specific compliance area.
"Review this app for Google Play policy compliance"
"Audit the privacy, permissions, and Data Safety implementation in this Expo app"
"Check whether this subscription and advertising flow follows Google Play policies"
"Identify Google Play policy issues that could block this Android app submission"
The report contains a project summary, findings with evidence and remediation,
Play Console declarations, manual checks, and evidence gaps. Its status is
blocked, needs evidence, or no blockers found—never a compliance
certification.

The Google Play Developer Policy Center is authoritative. This index was verified on August 23, 2026, but linked pages, program eligibility, SDK lists, target API requirements, regional exceptions, and enforcement procedures may change independently. Findings therefore link to the current page and include the check date.
The portable contract is the root SKILL.md plus relative links to
the rules/ directory. Distribution-specific files adapt that same skill for
Codex, Claude Code, and Agent Skills-compatible clients without changing the
policy content or requiring a fixed installation path.
- Google Play's live policy pages and Play Console decisions remain authoritative.
- A review cannot guarantee publication or continued availability on Google Play.
- Findings depend on the evidence available and must distinguish confirmed behavior from unresolved risk.
- This package is not legal advice or a substitute for a complete security assessment.
- Use it only for apps, accounts, and artifacts you are authorized to review.
