Searches for and lists recently opened and upcoming Apple Store locations worldwide, covering new stores, renovations, and relocations. Use this skill whenever the user asks about new Apple Stores, Apple Store openings, upcoming Apple retail locations, Apple Store news, or anything like "what Apple Stores are opening soon", "has Apple opened any new stores", "Apple Store near me opening", or "Apple retail expansion". Trigger even for casual phrasings like "any new Apple Stores?" or "where is Apple opening next". Always use this skill rather than relying on training data, since store opening info changes frequently.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
8 rules. About 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Apple Store Tracker Skill
Surfaces recently opened and upcoming Apple Store locations — new builds, renovations, and relocations — with country emoji, links, and clear labelling of confirmed vs. rumoured.
Scope
- Recent: last 3 months from today
- Upcoming: any announced or credibly rumoured future openings
- Types: new stores, renovations/revamps, and relocations — all included
- Sources: Apple Newsroom (confirmed) + MacRumors / 9to5Mac / Bloomberg (rumoured, labelled)
Workflow
Step 1 — Search
Run these searches in parallel (or sequentially if needed):
Apple Store new opening [current year]Apple Store upcoming opening announcedApple Newsroom store news→ fetchhttps://www.apple.com/newsroom/topics/store-news/Apple Store renovation relocation [current year]Apple Store rumored upcoming MacRumorsor9to5Mac Apple Store
Use web_search for queries 1, 2, 4, 5. Use web_fetch on the Apple Newsroom URL for query 3.
Step 2 — Classify each result
For every store event found, classify it as:
| Tag | Meaning |
| ✅ Confirmed | Announced by Apple Newsroom or Apple.com |
| 📰 Reported | Covered by credible outlets (MacRumors, 9to5Mac, Bloomberg) but not yet on Apple Newsroom |
| 🔮 Rumoured | Speculation or leaked info, no official reporting yet |
Step 3 — Determine the link
Priority order:
- Apple's retail store page:
https://www.apple.com/retail/[store-slug]/— always use this if the store is already open and the page exists - Apple Newsroom press release URL — use for upcoming/not-yet-open stores with an official announcement
- Best available news article URL (MacRumors, 9to5Mac, Bloomberg, etc.) — fallback only
To find the store slug, try https://www.apple.com/retail/[lowercase-store-name-with-hyphens]/. If unsure, use web_fetch to verify the URL resolves before linking it.
Step 4 — Format the output
Output two sections:
🏪 Recently Opened (last 3 months)
- 🇺🇸 [Store Name] — [City, State/Country] · [Type: New / Renovation / Relocation] · [Opened: Month DD, YYYY] · [Link]
- 🇯🇵 [Store Name] — ...
Sort oldest to newest by opening date within each section.
🔜 Coming Soon
- 🇸🇦 [Store Name] — [City, Country] · [Type] · [Expected: Q? YYYY or "TBD"] · [📰 Reported / 🔮 Rumoured] · [Link]
- 🇲🇽 [Store Name] — ...
Rules
- Always use the country's flag emoji at the start of each bullet
- For upcoming, always include the credibility label (✅ / 📰 / 🔮)
- If a store page on apple.com exists, always prefer that as the link
- If no date is known, write "Date TBD"
- If only a region is known (e.g. "somewhere in India"), still include it with a note
- Do not include store closures, temporary closures, or stores reopening after routine maintenance — only events that represent a meaningful new or upgraded presence
- If the search returns nothing recent, say so clearly rather than hallucinating results
- Today's date is always available in your context — use it to determine the 3-month window precisely

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
