ai-search-optimization

ai-search-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from S3YED/appie-kit. It costs 119 tokens per session (1,265 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to improving a website’s chances of appearing in AI-generated search results, such as Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. It explains how normal search indexing, crawling, and readable content affect that visibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit crawlability, robots.txt, noindex settings, duplicate pages, snippet controls, and content intended for answer engines.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about special AI-only ranking rules with checks for access, indexing, content quality, and search eligibility.

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

ai-search-optimization 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Search Optimization (AEO / GEO)

Google's AI features (AI Overviews, AI Mode) use the same crawl, index, and core ranking as classic Search, plus grounding (RAG) and query fan-out (the model generates related sub-queries and pulls pages for each). There is no separate AI ranking system. Good classic SEO IS AI visibility. Source: developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/ai-optimization-guide.

Eligibility checklist (same as Search eligibility)

A page can only surface in AI features if it is:

  • Indexed — not blocked by noindex, in the index, not a duplicate canonicalized away
  • Crawlablerobots.txt allows it; JS unblocked so rendered content is visible
  • Publicly accessible — no login/paywall wall on the content that should rank
  • Snippet-eligible — no nosnippet / max-snippet:0 / data-nosnippet on the content you want quoted
  • Meets Search technical requirements + spam policies (no cloaking, scaled-content abuse)

Note: meeting every requirement does not guarantee crawl, index, or serving.

Content: people-first + unique POV

  • Write for humans. Offer a unique point of view, first-hand experience, original data, or expertise the model can't synthesize from everyone else.
  • Avoid commodity summaries an LLM could generate itself — those don't earn citation.
  • Avoid scaled content abuse (mass keyword/location variations to manipulate).
  • No ideal length. Clear headings, sections, short paragraphs. Self-contained answers near the top help, but do not chunk content into tiny fragments.

DEBUNKED — do NOT waste effort on these

Myth Reality
llms.txt / AI text files / ai.txt Google Search ignores them. Zero benefit.
Special markdown / "machine-readable AI" copies Not used. Serve normal HTML.
"Chunk" content into micro-pieces for the LLM No benefit; harms readability.
Write copy specifically for generative AI Write for people; ranking follows.
Chase inauthentic "mentions" / brand name-drops Not a ranking signal; can be spam.
Separate "AEO/GEO ranking system" to game Doesn't exist. Same index + ranking.

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.

ai-search-optimization is a skill published in the GitHub repository S3YED/appie-kit (7 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 1,265 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
