A tracking process for measuring how a website's search positions and search-result features change over time. It can also check visibility in AI-generated answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Monitoring keyword rankings, comparing them with past results, tracking search-result features, and spotting major changes that need investigation.
Why use it?
It makes ranking changes visible by comparing current positions with earlier measurements and recording the conditions of each check.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rank-tracker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Rank Tracker

Tracks keyword positions, SERP feature ownership, and AI visibility over time.

Quick Start

Set up rank tracking for [domain] targeting these keywords: [keyword list]
Analyze ranking changes for [domain] over the past [time period]

Skill Contract

Expected output: a ranking report or delta summary plus the standard handoff summary for memory/monitoring/.

  • Reads: current rankings, prior baselines, target keyword list, locale/language/device/engine, snapshot/source refs, observation times/windows, stable page/content bindings, and any user-provided or tool metrics.
  • Writes: a user-facing monitoring deliverable and reusable summary.
  • Promotes: significant changes, confirmed anomalies, follow-up actions, and pending decisions to memory/open-loops.md.
  • Done when: every tracked keyword shows a current, context-matched position vs baseline with a labeled delta, or Unknown/NEEDS_REFRESH with its reason; each observation cites its source ref, observed time, window, locale/language/device/engine, evidence label, and ranking page ref; conflicts remain visible; and biggest movers and likely causes are named.
  • Primary next skill: performance-monitor when recurring monitoring should become automated.

Handoff Summary

Emit the standard shape from skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format.

Data Sources

All integrations optional (see CONNECTORS.md). With tools, pull rankings from ~~SEO tool, impressions from ~~search console, traffic from ~~analytics, and AI citations from ~~AI monitor. Without tools, ask for positions, volumes, competitor data, and SERP feature status.

Zero-dependency measurement loop (no paid tool needed): never narrate a ranking movement you did not measure — record each check as a snapshot and let the ledger compute the delta. python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/connectors/ledger.py" record <domain> --source rank --data '{"<keyword>": <position>, ...}', then ledger.py diff <domain> --source rank for the change since the last check and ledger.py trend <domain> --source rank --field "<keyword>" for the series. Record real Search Console positions when connected, or the positions the user provides at Tier 1. A ranking delta is a week-scale, confounded outcome — attribute it against a control (a holdout keyword/competitor), not against zero; see references/measurement-protocol.md. See scripts/connectors/README.md.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
