Requirements

Workflow steps

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

Check config.yaml exists
Scout unknown sites first: scout --deep
Submit one at a time — check output for success/failure
For unknown sites: submit https://url uses generic bb-browser adapter
Track progress: status
Pace: 1-3 min between sites, 30-60 min same-site retry

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 926d923. 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
Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- node
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- any-site.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

Backlink Pilot loads about 522 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~522

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

Backlink Pilot

Automated backlink submission for indie products. One config, one command.

Setup

bash

cd ~/Downloads/backlink-pilot
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml   # edit with product details

Engine Options

Engine	Setup	Pros
playwright (default)	`npm install`	No extension needed
bb (recommended)	`npm install -g bb-browser` + Chrome extension	Real browser, no anti-bot, no Cloudflare/OAuth issues

Set in config.yaml → browser.engine: bb or use --engine bb flag.

Commands

bash

node src/cli.js scout <url> --deep              # discover form fields
node src/cli.js submit <site>                   # submit to directory
node src/cli.js submit <site> --engine bb       # use real Chrome
node src/cli.js submit https://any-site.com     # generic submission (bb-browser)
node src/cli.js submit <site> --dry-run         # preview only
node src/cli.js awesome <list-key>              # generate awesome-list issue
node src/cli.js indexnow <url>                  # ping search engines
node src/cli.js status                          # check submissions
node src/cli.js bb-update                       # update bb-browser adapters

Site adapters and awesome-list targets: see adapters.md

Agent Workflow

Check config.yaml exists
Scout unknown sites first: scout <url> --deep
Submit one at a time — check output for success/failure
For unknown sites: submit https://url uses generic bb-browser adapter
Track progress: status
Pace: 1-3 min between sites, 30-60 min same-site retry

Key Constraints

Never submit same product twice to same site
Some sites reject UTM params → submit clean URL
Google OAuth sites need manual first login (playwright only; bb-browser handles this)
Cloudflare Turnstile = hard wall for playwright → use --engine bb or skip
Troubleshooting: see TROUBLESHOOTING.md
