What it does

Google AI Search Optimization is an agent skill from deepakness/google-ai-search-optimization. Official Google Search guidance for optimizing websites for generative AI features such as AI Overviews and AI Mode. Use when an AI agent needs to explain, audit, plan, or implement SEO work for Google AI Search visibility; evaluate AEO/GEO claims; advise on llms.txt, structured data, content quality, crawlability, JavaScript SEO, media SEO, ecommerce/local details, Merchant Center, Business Profile, or agent-friendly site readiness.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/audit-playbook.md` and `references/google-ai-search-principles.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering AI search optimization. It works with JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Unofficial Agent Skill based on Google Search guidance for AI Overviews, AI Mode, and SEO audits.

When your agent uses it

  • An AI agent needs to explain
  • Implement SEO work for Google AI Search visibility
  • Evaluate AEO/GEO claims
  • Advise on llms.txt

Example prompts

  • “/google-ai-search-optimization”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify the request
  2. Gather only the needed context
  3. Apply the core recommendations
  4. Explicitly reject unsupported shortcuts
  5. Produce output that is useful in the user's context

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25218b4. 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

Google AI Search Optimization loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 695 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~117
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.9k

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 695 words (~1,436 tokens).

“Use this skill to turn Google's public guidance on generative AI features in Search into practical recommendations, audits, content plans, and implementation tasks.”
