What it does

Citation Recovery Optimizer is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Use this skill whenever a user wants to improve existing pages on their website to get cited more by AI models — whether they say "our pages aren't getting cited", "improve this page for AI visibility", "which of our pages should we update", "make this article more cite-worthy", "our competitors are getting cited instead of us", "update our content for AI search", or any variation where the goal is improving an existing asset rather than creating something new. This skill pulls owned pages from AI Visibility…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and AI search optimization. It works with WordPress, Contentful, HubSpot and Webflow. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.

When your agent uses it

  • A user wants to improve existing pages on their website to get cited more by AI models — whether they say our pages arent getting cited
  • Improve this page for AI visibility
  • Which of our pages should we update
  • Make this article more cite-worthy

Example prompts

  • “our pages aren”
  • “improve this page for AI visibility”
  • “which of our pages should we update”
  • “/citation-recovery-optimizer”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. CMS Discovery (run once at the start of every session)
  2. Identify the Brand and Pull Own Pages
  3. Find the Competitor Pages Winning on the Same Topics
  4. Score and Prioritize Pages
  5. Diagnose the Selected Page
  6. Generate the Rewrite
  7. Simulate Before Publishing (optional but recommended)
  8. Push the Update to CMS

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51838c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Citation Recovery Optimizer loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 231 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,756 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~231
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,756 words (~3,303 tokens).

“You're helping a content team squeeze more AI citations out of pages that already exist. The logic: it's faster to improve a page that already has some signal than to build from scratch. AI Visibility shows which owned pages are…”
