When your agent uses it

  • Applies especially to e-commerce checkouts
  • Contact/lead forms
  • YMYL (Your Money
  • Your Life) content

Example prompts

  • “/trust-signals”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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

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

    • frontendchecklist.io

    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

Trust Signals loads about 619 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~619
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

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.

Show trust signals on key pages

Google's Quality Rater Guidelines explicitly evaluate trustworthiness as a core page quality signal; pages lacking visible trust evidence score lower in manual quality assessments that influence ranking systems.

Quick Reference

  • Display trust signals (reviews, certifications, security badges, client logos) near calls-to-action on key pages
  • Trust signals are a core component of Google's E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
  • For YMYL pages (health, finance, legal), trust signals are a critical quality signal in Google's Quality Rater Guidelines
  • Fake or unverifiable trust badges actively harm credibility — only display genuine, verifiable credentials

Check

On key conversion pages (checkout, contact, pricing, landing pages), check for: security/SSL badges near forms, third-party review platform ratings (Google, Trustpilot), industry certifications, client/partner logos, testimonials with names and photos, money-back guarantee language. Verify all badges are genuine (not just images).

Fix

Add appropriate trust signals to each key page: embed real review widgets from Google/Trustpilot, display relevant certifications with verifiable links, add named testimonials with photos, include security badges near form submission areas. Ensure all trust elements are current and accurate.

Explain

Explain how trust signals affect both user conversion rates and Google's quality assessments, what E-E-A-T means for content quality, and why YMYL pages face higher trust scrutiny from Google's Quality Rater Guidelines.

Code Review

Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Show trust signals on key pages. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.


For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
