aeo-audit — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited aeo-audit (Agent Skill) and scored it 96/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Evaluate the brand's visibility and accuracy across AI answer engines. Analyze how the brand is cited, described, and recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode (the conversational search surface that became Google's default at I/O 2026 — ~1B MAUs as of May 2026), Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Produce optimization recommendations to improve AI visibility.
AI Mode vs AI Overviews — why both matter: AI Overviews are the summary block at the top of a classic Google SERP and trigger on a subset of queries. AI Mode is a conversational tab (and now the default search experience for opted-in users) backed by Gemini 3.5 Flash with deeper reasoning, follow-ups, and a different citation pattern. The two surfaces select different sources for the same query in 40–60% of cases observed since May 2026. Audit both.
Cross-reference with GSC AI Performance Report (rolled out 3 June 2026): The Google Search Console AI Performance Report (UK rollout first, global to follow) gives you actual impressions in AI Overviews + AI Mode for verified properties. Synthetic probe results from this skill should be reconciled against GSC actuals — see /digital-marketing-pro:gsc-ai-performance for the workflow. Important caveat: the GSC report intentionally excludes click data; click-through attribution must come from GA4 (the new AI Assistant channel group, added 13 May 2026, captures Medium=ai-assistant referrals from ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude; see /digital-marketing-pro:analytics-insights).
Google's official position on AI optimization (Google AI Optimization Guide, updated 15 May 2026): no llms.txt, no AI-specific schema, no separate AI eligibility gate. Pages eligible for snippets in classic Search are eligible for AI Features. Don't manufacture work around fictional ranking factors — /digital-marketing-pro:aeo-geo documents what does work (entity consistency, citation-worthy snippets, knowledge graph alignment).
The user must provide (or will be prompted for):
~/.claude-marketing/brands/_active-brand.json for the active slug, then load ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/profile.json. Apply brand voice, compliance rules for target markets (skills/context-engine/compliance-rules.md), and industry context. Also check for guidelines at ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/guidelines/_manifest.json — if present, load restrictions and relevant category files. Check for custom templates at ~/.claude-marketing/brands/{slug}/templates/. Check for agency SOPs at ~/.claude-marketing/sops/. If no brand exists, ask: "Set up a brand first (/digital-marketing-pro:brand-setup)?" — or proceed with defaults.A structured AEO audit report containing:
All AEO audit outputs go to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/{brand}/seo/aeo-audit/{YYYY-MM-DD}/:
00-input.md brand identity, target query set, competitor list, AI platforms probed
01-query-set.md the 10-25 queries probed, with intent classification
02-probe-results.json raw probe responses per platform per query (the data layer)
03-platform-scorecard.md visibility scorecard per AI platform (1-10) with diff vs prior run
04-citation-accuracy.md fact-by-fact accuracy check of AI descriptions; what to correct
05-source-authority.md which pages/sites are driving AI mentions; topical entity map
06-content-gaps.md queries where brand is absent but should appear
07-competitor-matrix.md side-by-side AI presence vs competitors
08-quality-scorecard.md the gates below

| Gate | What it checks |
|---|---|
| query_set_size | ≥ 10 queries probed (below this, results are anecdotal) |
| platform_coverage | ≥ 4 of the 6 supported platforms probed (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Gemini, Copilot) |
| competitor_coverage | ≥ 2 competitors probed alongside the brand on same query set |
| citation_accuracy_done | Every "brand appears" result has been fact-checked (no silent ship of "AI said X — sounds right") |
status: ready requires all four gates pass.
