gr-backlinks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Gingiris/gingiris-skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (2,964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building backlinks, which are links from other websites to your site. It covers Wikipedia, news coverage, industry review sites, Reddit and Quora discussions, and expert-quote services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning outreach, submitting a site to relevant review pages, seeking media mentions, joining useful discussions, and finding opportunities to provide expert quotes.

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

gr-backlinks 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/backlinks-audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Why this skill exists

Phase 2 missing piece: We do title/content/schema/cluster optimization but have zero systematic backlink work. Article research (2026-05): backlinks are the #1 GEO signal — LLMs decide citations partly by brand authority, which is downstream of backlink graph.

For Iris's site (gingiris.github.io, subpath under GitHub Pages), the domain authority ceiling is fundamentally capped without external backlinks. No on-page work can beat Wikipedia / Hootsuite / Wired for head terms — only backlink quality + count can.


The 5-Channel Priority Matrix

Adopted from 2026-05 WeChat article + JeffLi1993 / AgriciDaniel / zubair-trabzada skills audit:

Channel SEO Value GEO Value Priority Effort/week
Wikipedia dedicated entry ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MAX 3-6h (one-time setup, ongoing edits)
Authoritative media (PR) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MAX 2h (HARO + outreach)
Industry reviews (G2/Capterra/PH) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HIGH 1h (one-time submission)
Reddit/Quora discussions ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HIGH 2h (sustained presence)
Generic backlinks (directories/blogs) ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ MED skip until top 3 done

Rule: Start from highest GEO value. SEO-only signals (DA passing) are less leveraged than 2-3 years ago.


When to use this skill

  • "I want to build backlinks for my site"
  • "How do I get into Wikipedia?"
  • "How do I do HARO / Featured.com?"
  • "What's a Reddit / Quora strategy that doesn't get me banned?"
  • "How do I get into G2 / Capterra?"
  • Phase 2 monthly checkpoint shows domain authority capping ranking

Channel 1: Wikipedia (highest GEO leverage)

Reality check before you start

  • Wikipedia is notability-gated, not effort-gated
  • Threshold: 5+ independent reliable-source articles discussing your subject substantively (not in passing)
  • Listicle mentions, PR releases, sponsored content do NOT count
  • Paid Wikipedia services (Fiverr / WikiExperts / Wiki Mavericks): 80% of articles deleted within 6 months — they fail notability not because of editor skill

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.
