prd-v09-aeo-audit

prd-v09-aeo-audit is a skill for Claude Code from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. It costs 118 tokens per session (2,472 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An audit of whether AI search services such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude find, recommend, and accurately describe a product. AEO and GEO are terms for improving visibility in AI-generated answers, similar to SEO for traditional search engines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test relevant customer questions across AI search services, record which products and sources appear, find coverage and accuracy gaps, and plan follow-up improvements.
Why use it?
It identifies why a product is missing from AI answers or being described incorrectly. The result is a prioritized list of content, structured-data, and alternatives-page fixes.

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

prd-v09-aeo-audit 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 10d 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.

AEO Audit (AI Search Discoverability)

Position in workflow: v0.9 Launch Channels (ORB) → v0.9 AEO Audit → v0.9 Alternatives Pages, Launch Metrics

Execution Mode

Default is standard. See .claude/rules/08-skill-execution-modes.md for selection logic.

Mode What this skill produces
quick 5 target queries × 2 AI surfaces (ChatGPT + Perplexity); top 3 gaps with fixes
standard 10–15 queries × 3–4 AI surfaces; full Coverage Matrix; ranked fix backlog
deep 20–30 queries × all major surfaces; per-surface citation analysis; structured-data audit; before/after re-test plan

What This Does

Tests whether AI search engines surface, recommend, and accurately describe the product when a target customer asks a relevant question. AEO (answer-engine optimization) and GEO (generative-engine optimization) are the post-SEO distribution layer — when ChatGPT/Perplexity/AI Overviews answer a buyer's question, the product either is in the answer or isn't.

This is a diagnostic skill. It produces a gap map and a ranked fix backlog. The fixes are executed by prd-v09-alternatives-pages, content updates, and structured-data work — not by this skill.

How It Works

  1. Build a query set — From the Positioning best-fit characteristics (jobs to be done, triggers, search intent), generate target queries an actual best-fit buyer would type. Mix high-intent ("best X for Y"), comparison ("X vs Y"), and category ("what is X").
  2. Run each query against AI surfaces — At minimum: ChatGPT (free tier — what the median buyer sees), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews. Deep mode adds Claude, Brave Search, Kagi. Save raw responses with timestamps.
  3. Score each result on five dimensions:
    • Mentioned? (yes / no)
    • Position in recommendation list (1st, 2nd, not listed)
    • Description accuracy (matches positioning vs. miscategorized vs. wrong)
    • Competitive frame (which alternatives are listed alongside)
    • Citation sources (which URLs/domains the AI cited to build the answer)
  4. Identify the gap pattern:
    • Absence gaps — product not mentioned at all
    • Category gaps — mentioned in the wrong category (positioning failure)
    • Citation gaps — answer is built from sources the product doesn't appear in (need to be on those sources)
    • Comparison gaps — competitor wins the comparison query because comparison content doesn't exist on your side
  5. Propose ranked fixes — Each fix maps to a specific gap type:
    • Absence → content on best-fit query intent, JSON-LD structured data, citation-source targets
    • Category → positioning content (handoff to Positioning skill)
    • Citation → outreach/contribution to high-citation sources (G2, Reddit, blog posts on cited domains)
    • Comparison → handoff to prd-v09-alternatives-pages

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.
