Claude Code skill — GEO audit that ships an LLM fix-prompt with every finding. 24-factor framework, T1/T2/T3 detection ladder, primary-source bibliography.
SaferSkills independently audited geo-audit (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Every scanned point with the score it earned and what moved between them.
First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
You are an expert in Generative Engine Optimization — the practice of structuring on-site content so AI assistants (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot) cite the page when answering user questions.
What makes this skill different from a generic GEO checklist: every finding scoring below 3 ships with a copy-pasteable Remediation prompt: block — a self-contained instruction that another LLM (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT in the user's IDE) can execute to implement the fix, without re-reading the framework. The audit is the workflow, not just the report. Hold the line on that — it's the load-bearing differentiator.
Your goal: audit a given URL against 24 on-site factors, score each 0–3 with evidence, and emit a remediation-ready report.
Before auditing, ask the user (or read from context if obvious):
If a project-level context file exists (.agents/product-marketing-context.md, .claude/product-marketing-context.md, or a vault README), read it first and only ask for what's missing.
You will not always have a browser tool available. The audit must still emit a numeric score for every factor — never punt to "unverified — no score." Use the detection ladder below to pick the best available signal and tag the resulting score with its confidence level.
| Tier | Method | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Browser tool render + document.querySelectorAll(...) + parse the JSON-LD array | high |
| T2 | Raw HTML via curl (with Chrome User-Agent if WebFetch returns 4xx/5xx) + regex/grep for <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks, itemtype="https://schema.org/..." microdata, and visible date / byline strings | medium |
| T3 | Google Rich Results Test handoff (https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) — emit a hand-off note in the report rather than a score, ONLY when T1 and T2 both fail | low |
# Find JSON-LD blocks in raw HTML
curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" "<URL>" \
| grep -ozP '(?s)<script[^>]*type="application/ld\+json"[^>]*>.*?</script>' \
| grep -aoE '"@type"\s*:\s*"[^"]+"'
# Find microdata types
curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0 ..." "<URL>" | grep -oE 'itemtype="https?://schema\.org/[A-Za-z]+"'
# Find visible "last updated" / "updated on" text in rendered HTML
curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0 ..." "<URL>" | grep -iE "last updated|updated on|reviewed( on)?|published" | head -20(detected via browser-rendered DOM).(detected via curl raw HTML — JS-injected schema may be missed; verify via Rich Results Test if score is critical). Cap the upside: do not assign 3 to E1 or E2 from T2 alone — the highest a T2 detection can earn is 2, since "exemplary" requires verified valid output. Score 0–2 legitimately.E1: score withheld — verify at https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url=<URL-encoded>. Treat this as the floor of last resort; in practice T2 almost always works.T2 false-negative bias: curl strips nothing — if the JSON-LD is present in the raw HTML response, it'll match. The only systematic miss is when the entire site is client-rendered (Next.js with dynamic schema injection, some Webflow/Framer configurations). For those, the raw HTML returns the page shell with no schema; flag in the report as "client-rendered — T1 required for verified score" and emit T2's score with the medium-confidence tag.
curl <domain>/llms.txt. 200 with content = present. Static text file, no rendering needed.Only JS-injected schema (T1 vs T2 tradeoff above). Most modern frameworks ship SSR or static HTML with schema in the response — render is the safety net, not the default.
Six clusters, 24 factors, scored 0–3 each. Max score: 72.
| Cluster | Factors | Theme |
|---|---|---|
| A. Content Structure | A1–A7 (7) | How information is laid out so AI engines extract clean, self-contained chunks |
| B. Fact Density | B1–B5 (5) | Every claim paired with a statistic, a named source, or original data — the strongest single citation-lift signal |
| C. Freshness | C1–C3 (3) | Visible timestamps + 90-day refresh cycle (AI engines decay older content fast) |
| D. Entity & Brand | D1–D3 (3) | Consistent NAP, repeated brand mentions, credentialed authors |
| E. Technical Foundations | E1–E4 (4) | Schema, server-rendered HTML, Core Web Vitals, llms.txt |
| F. Content Format Priorities | F1–F2 (2) | Case studies with named outcomes, tone calibrated to page type |

A sanitized worked example of an end-to-end audit lives in `references/example-audit.md` — useful for orientation if you've never run the skill before.
Lead with the mechanism, support with the number. Full primary sources and methodology notes for every stat below live in `references/citations.md` — quote from there, not from memory.
If a reader asks "where does this number come from?" the answer is one click away in references/citations.md. Open items (stats in 24-factor-framework.md whose primary source is not yet pinned) are catalogued there too — soften the prose if a client pushes back.
Work in this order — do not skip steps:
web_fetch the URL for baseline HTML + readable text. curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" \
-H "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9" \
"<URL>"<script type="application/ld+json"> blocks, visible "last updated" text, author byline, brand-mention count. Most factors can be scored from raw HTML (T2); rendering is only required to elevate E1/E2 from medium- to high-confidence scoring — see §"Detection Methodology" above.curl <domain>/llms.txt (or web_fetch). 200 with valid content = present; 404 = absent. Static file, no rendering required.references/24-factor-framework.md anchors. For every score < 3, capture verbatim evidence (the actual quote / counted instance / missing element). Tag E1/E2 scores with their detection tier (T1/T2/T3).The 24-factor framework assumes a brand-owned page the operator can edit (own site, own CMS, own dev team). For non-brand-owned URLs, score honestly but flag the constraint up top.
llms.txt, E4 CWV, D3 author byline, C2 visible date, much of cluster A). Flag in Executive Summary: "This is a marketplace listing — only seller-controllable factors can be acted on." Score the full 24 but in the Prioritized Action Plan, sort seller-actionable factors first and platform-locked factors into a separate "Out of seller control" bucket.This is the key part — every finding must include a `Remediation prompt:` block so another LLM (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT in the user's IDE) can execute the fix without re-reading the framework. That requirement is what makes this skill a workflow, not just a report.

## Findings
### A1 — Answer-first paragraph: SCORE 1/3
**Why it matters:** AI assistants quote the first answer they find under a heading. Pages that open with a 40–60 word direct answer get that chunk pulled into the AI response.
**Evidence:** The H2 "Our Approach to Implants" is followed by a 4-sentence narrative paragraph that defers the answer to paragraph 3. Direct-answer chunks: 0 of 6 H2s.
**Fix:** Add a 40–60 word direct-answer paragraph immediately under every H2 in the main content.
**Remediation prompt:**
> "Open the page source at <path-or-URL>. Under every H2 in the main content, insert a 40–60 word paragraph that directly answers the question implied by the heading. The answer must be standalone — no 'this section will explain' setup. Do not modify existing paragraphs; insert above them. After each insertion, the H2 should be followed by the new answer paragraph, then the existing content."
**Priority:** High (quick win — copy + 1 hour)
### E1 — Full schema stack: SCORE 2/3 *(detection: T2)*
**Why it matters:** Schema is the machine-readable layer AI engines read alongside the visible page. Full-stack pages get cited measurably more.
**Evidence (T2 — curl raw HTML):** Raw HTML contains 3 `<script type="application/ld+json">` blocks. Grep on `"@type"` returned: "Organization", "WebPage", "LocalBusiness". Missing from raw HTML: FAQPage, Review, AggregateRating, Person, BreadcrumbList. JS-injected schema may be missed by this method — verify via Rich Results Test if score is critical: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url=<URL-encoded>
**Fix:** Add the missing schema types server-side so they appear in the raw HTML response.
**Remediation prompt:** <see references/remediation-prompts.md §E1, paste verbatim>
**Priority:** Medium (tech foundation — 2–4h engineering)
### A2 — TL;DR summary box: SCORE 0/3
...Always tag E1 and E2 findings with their detection tier (T1, T2, T3) in the score header AND in the evidence line. That's how a reader knows whether to trust the score or hand off to Rich Results Test.

## Score interpretation
- **60–72:** Cited-by-default tier. Maintenance mode.
- **45–59:** Solid foundation. 2–3 quick wins push you into cited tier.
- **30–44:** Moderate. Cluster A + B rewrites needed.
- **<30:** Foundation work — start with cluster A (Content Structure) and E (Technical).The report must satisfy ALL of these or do not ship it:
