What it does

Algo SEO Backlink is an agent skill from asgard-ai-platform/skills. Evaluate backlink quality using Domain Authority, Domain Rating, and trust metrics. Use this skill when the user needs to assess link profile health, identify toxic backlinks, or plan link building strategy — even if they say 'check my backlinks', 'link building', or 'domain authority analysis'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/sample_scenario.md`, `references/competitor-gap.md` and `references/toxicity-scoring.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Link building. The repository describes itself as: 301 open-source coding agent skills across 22 domains — methodology, judgment & gotchas packaged as Claude Agent Skills for the Asgard AI Platform. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to assess link profile health
  • Identify toxic backlinks
  • Plan link building strategy — even if they say check my backlinks
  • Domain authority analysis

Example prompts

  • “check my backlinks”
  • “link building”
  • “domain authority analysis”
  • “/algo-seo-backlink”

Workflow steps

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

  4. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. 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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Algo SEO Backlink loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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.

Overview

Backlink analysis evaluates incoming links by quality metrics (DA/DR, relevance, anchor text diversity, toxicity) to assess a site's off-page SEO strength. Quality assessment is heuristic-based using third-party metrics (Moz DA, Ahrefs DR) as PageRank proxies.

When to Use

Trigger conditions:

  • Auditing a site's backlink profile for SEO health
  • Identifying and disavowing toxic or spammy links
  • Planning link building strategy based on competitor analysis

When NOT to use:

  • When optimizing on-page content (use content SEO)
  • When computing actual PageRank from raw link graphs (use PageRank algorithm)

Algorithm

IRON LAW: Backlink QUALITY Outweighs Quantity
One link from a high-authority, topically relevant domain is worth
more than hundreds from low-quality sites. Evaluate every link on:
1. Authority (DA/DR of linking domain)
2. Relevance (topical match between linking and target pages)
3. Placement (editorial in-content > footer/sidebar)
4. Anchor text (natural diversity > exact-match keyword stuffing)
Phase 1: Input Validation

Export backlink data from Ahrefs, Moz, or Search Console. Required fields: referring domain, DA/DR, anchor text, link type (dofollow/nofollow), first seen date. Gate: Complete backlink export with authority metrics.

Phase 2: Core Algorithm
  1. Deduplicate by referring domain (one link per domain for analysis)
  2. Score each link: authority (0-100) × relevance (0-1) × placement weight
  3. Flag toxic links: DA < 10, irrelevant foreign language, link farm patterns, PBN indicators
  4. Compute profile metrics: total referring domains, DR distribution, anchor text diversity index
Phase 3: Verification

Cross-reference flagged toxic links against known spam databases. Verify anchor text distribution follows natural pattern (branded > URL > keyword > misc). Gate: Toxic links identified, anchor profile analyzed.

Phase 4: Output

Return profile assessment with link quality distribution and action items.

Output Format

  "profile": {"referring_domains": 450, "avg_dr": 35, "toxic_count": 23, "anchor_diversity": 0.78},

Examples

Sample I/O

Input: 500 backlinks, 200 referring domains Expected: Distribution: 15% DR 60+, 40% DR 20-59, 45% DR 0-19. Flag 23 toxic domains for disavow.

Gotchas

  • DA/DR are third-party estimates: They approximate PageRank but are NOT Google metrics. Two tools often disagree on the same domain's authority.
  • Nofollow still matters: Google treats nofollow as a "hint." A nofollow link from a DR 90 site still has SEO value, just less than dofollow.
  • Disavow carefully: Google's disavow tool is a last resort. Disavowing legitimate links harms your own profile. Only disavow clearly toxic/spammy links.
  • Anchor text manipulation: Exact-match anchor text used to be a ranking factor; now it's a spam signal. Natural profiles have mostly branded and URL anchors.
  • Temporal patterns: Sudden spikes in backlinks (e.g., 100 links in one day) trigger spam filters. Natural link acquisition is gradual.
