What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f7a39c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • search.google.com

    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

Rank Aeo loads about 715 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~715

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.

AEO Audit — Answer Engine Optimization

Phase 1: Scan

bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/aeo-scanner.mjs <project-directory>

Phase 2: Report

Present AEO findings:

  • Schema — FAQPage, HowTo, speakable, Article/BlogPosting
  • Snippet Readiness — direct answers, numbered steps, concise paragraphs
  • Voice Search — conversational patterns, 29-word answer targets

Phase 3: Fix

  • Missing FAQPage → detect Q&A patterns in content, generate schema: node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/schema-engine.mjs generate FAQPage
  • Missing speakable → add speakable schema targeting key answer sections
  • Long answers → restructure to 40-60 word direct answers after question H2s
  • No numbered steps → convert procedural content to ordered lists
  • Missing featured image → flag for user to add hero image

Phase 4: Verify

Re-run aeo-scanner. Show before/after AEO score.

Phase 5: Voice Search Guidance

  • Target conversational long-tail queries ("how do I...", "what is the best...")
  • Keep primary answers under 29 words (Google voice search average)
  • Add People Also Ask patterns as H2/H3 questions throughout content

Phase 6: Search Console Submission

After deploying AEO fixes, submit to search engines to trigger rich result processing:

Google Search Console
  1. Request indexing for pages with new FAQ/HowTo/speakable schema — URL Inspection → Request Indexing
  2. Check Rich Results — Enhancements → FAQPage / HowTo / Breadcrumbs / Article
    • Verify new schema is detected and valid (no errors)
    • Common issues: missing image in Article, missing acceptedAnswer in FAQ
  3. Test individual pages — Use Rich Results Test before and after fixes
  4. Monitor Featured Snippets — Performance → Search Appearance → filter by "Featured snippets"
    • Track which pages win snippets after AEO optimization
    • If pages lose snippets, check if answer length changed (40-60 words optimal)
Bing Webmaster Tools
  1. Submit URLs — URL Submission → submit all pages with new schema
  2. Verify schema — Bing supports FAQPage, HowTo, and speakable in its rich results
  3. Enable IndexNow — instant re-indexing after schema changes
  1. In GSC → Performance → Search Appearance → "Featured snippets"
  2. Export the list of queries where your pages appear as featured snippets
  3. For queries where competitors hold the snippet, optimize those pages:
    • Add a direct answer in the first 40-60 words after the question H2
    • Use numbered lists for "how to" queries
    • Use definition format ("X is...") for "what is" queries
  4. Recheck weekly — featured snippet ownership changes frequently
