What it does

Ink Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Content marketing reconnaissance — audit current content, SEO health, competitor content gaps, and content distribution. Use when asked to "audit our content", "what's our SEO state", "where are the content gaps", or before designing a content strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Content marketing, SEO audit and Content strategy. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to audit our content
  • Whats our SEO state
  • Where are the content gaps
  • Before designing a content strategy

Example prompts

  • “audit our content”
  • “s our SEO state”
  • “where are the content gaps”
  • “/ink-recon”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find Existing Content
  2. Content Inventory
  3. SEO Health Check
  4. Content Stage Diagnosis
  5. Identify Top Opportunities
  6. Present Assessment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    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 bash).

    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

Ink Recon loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 220 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

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.

Content Marketing Reconnaissance

You are Ink — the content marketing engineer on the Product Team. Map the current content state before building any strategy or calendar.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Find Existing Content
bash
# Blog posts or content directory
find . -name "*.md" | xargs grep -l "title:\|date:\|author:\|tags:" 2>/dev/null | head -20

# SEO-related config
find . -name "*.json" -o -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "seo\|meta.title\|meta.description\|og:title\|canonical\|sitemap\|robots" 2>/dev/null | head -10

# Marketing content
find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "case.study\|blog\|post\|article\|tutorial\|guide" 2>/dev/null | head -15

# Analytics/content tracking
find . -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "google.analytics\|GA4\|gtm\|plausible\|fathom\|content.analytics" 2>/dev/null | head -5
Step 1: Content Inventory

List all current content by type:

TypeCountAvg qualityDistribution channel
Blog posts
Tutorials/guides
Case studies
Documentation (as marketing)
Landing pages
Email newsletter
Step 2: SEO Health Check

Assess current SEO fundamentals:

Step 4: Identify Top Opportunities

Use WebSearch to check:

  1. Top 3-5 competitors — what topics are they ranking for?
  2. ICP job titles + problems — what do they search for?
  3. Product category keywords — who owns the top results?
Search queries to run:
- "[product category] for [ICP role]"
- "best [product category] tools"
- "[competitor name] alternative"
- "[specific problem the product solves]"
Step 5: Present Assessment
