aeo-baseline

aeo-baseline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from psyduckler/aeo-skills. It costs 152 tokens per session (2,026 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A measurement tool that records how often a brand is mentioned and cited in Gemini answers grounded in Google Search.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to establish a baseline for prompts, run repeated visibility checks, and save the underlying responses and measurements for later comparison.
Why use it?
It provides repeatable evidence of AI visibility, including citation position, competitors, entities, and sentiment, instead of relying on one answer.

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

aeo-baseline 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/_shared.py, scripts/baseline.py, tests/test_baseline_extraction.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 — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AEO Baseline

Source: github.com/psyduckler/aeo-skills Part of: AEO Skills Suite Methodology: aeo-v1 Output schema: aeo-evidence-v1

The atomic measurement primitive for AI visibility tracking. One command, one run, one evidence file with every signal you can extract from 20 grounded Gemini responses per prompt.

The Retrieval Framework

You cannot edit a model's training data. But for search-grounded models like Gemini, you can influence what enters the candidate set the model selects from when it grounds an answer. That candidate set — the recurring retrieval set for a prompt — is what this skill measures.

Every metric in the output traces back to a saved raw response. If you disagree with the score, recompute it from the evidence file — components are stored separately.

Requirements

  • Gemini API key (free from aistudio.google.com) — set as GEMINI_API_KEY
  • Python 3.9+ — stdlib only, no pip install needed
  • A workspace config — either an existing aeo.config.json (produced by aeo-init) or a one-off via --prompt

Usage

# Default: read aeo.config.json, run 20 samples per prompt, write to aeo-data/
GEMINI_API_KEY="$GEMINI_API_KEY" python3 scripts/baseline.py

# Verify the API key works without running a measurement
python3 scripts/baseline.py --doctor

# Print projected cost without making any API calls
python3 scripts/baseline.py --estimate-cost

# Run a single ad-hoc prompt (skips most of the config)
GEMINI_API_KEY="$GEMINI_API_KEY" python3 scripts/baseline.py --prompt "best CRM for small business"

# Override sample count for higher-confidence measurements
GEMINI_API_KEY="$GEMINI_API_KEY" python3 scripts/baseline.py --runs 50

# Skip the cost confirmation prompt (for cron / CI use)
GEMINI_API_KEY="$GEMINI_API_KEY" python3 scripts/baseline.py --yes

What ships with it

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.
