aeo-source-authority-profiler

aeo-source-authority-profiler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from psyduckler/aeo-skills. It costs 146 tokens per session (1,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research tool that studies which web pages Gemini cites for a topic and profiles those pages. Gemini is Google's AI system, and source profiling examines details such as headings, structured data, dates, and word count.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a grounded Gemini prompt, rank frequently cited sources, inspect their page structure and content, and produce a blueprint for creating similarly retrievable pages.
Why use it?
It helps explain why some sources are selected by an AI search system while others are overlooked.

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-source-authority-profiler scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/profile.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.

AEO Source Authority Profiler

Source: github.com/psyduckler/aeo-skills Part of: AEO Skills Suite

Reverse-engineer WHY certain pages get cited by Gemini — and build a blueprint to replicate their success.

Background

Influence over AI answers happens at retrieval, not inside the model. You can't edit Gemini's weights, but you can enter the candidate set it selects from when it searches the web. Every prompt triggers a retrieval step — Gemini fires search queries, evaluates the results, and picks sources to ground its answer. The pages it picks consistently form the recurring retrieval set for that topic.

This skill profiles the pages inside that recurring set. By analyzing what they have in common — length, structure, schema, freshness, entity density — you get a concrete blueprint for what it takes to enter and stay in the candidate set. Gemini's search-first architecture creates more entry points than recall-first models like GPT, which means the on-page profile of cited sources matters more than ever: retrievability requires alignment with query patterns, comprehensive coverage, and structural clarity.

Why This Works

Not all pages are created equal. When Gemini answers a prompt, it consistently cites certain sources over others. This skill reveals the common profile of those cited pages: their length, structure, schema markup, freshness, and entity density. By running 20 samples, you see which sources are reliably part of the recurring retrieval set (not just lucky once), then by profiling those pages, you discover the on-page signals that correlate with AI citation.

The result is a citation blueprint — a concrete spec for what your content needs to look like to enter the candidate set for that prompt. Influence compounds through repeated inclusion; one-off citations don't matter, but matching the blueprint puts you in the recurring set.

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.
