citation-gap-outreach

citation-gap-outreach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from swan-gtm/gtm-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (619 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An outreach planning method for getting a brand included in directories, comparison pages, review sites, communities, or publications that AI systems already use as sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps rank target sources, choose the appropriate request for each source, track outreach, and measure whether new placements improve AI visibility.
Why use it?
It turns citation gaps into specific actions based on which sources influence AI answers, instead of relying only on general reputation or link-building habits.

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

citation-gap-outreach 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use when the sources feeding AI answers in a category are known and the brand needs to get into them. Produces a ranked get-listed plan with the right ask per source and a re-measure loop that proves each placement landed.

Rank by answers fed, not authority

Order target sources by how many category answers each one fed. Domain authority, traffic, and prestige all mislead here: a modest directory feeding nine answers outranks a famous publication feeding one. The citation count is the value of the placement; everything else is habit carried over from link building.

Match the ask to the source

Each source type gets updated a different way, and the ask must match it. A directory or listing site wants a submission or a claimed profile. A comparison or review page wants inclusion with evidence — real differentiators, pricing, proof — not a pitch. A community thread is entered honestly, with a real answer from a real account, or left alone. A publication wants the data or story its page is missing. Write the ask so the person who maintains that page can act on it in one sitting.

Run it like pipeline

Track each target as a row: source, page, answers it fed, whether it mentions the brand today, ask type, the human contact, status. Work the top of the list first; small placements land fastest and compound.

Verify the placement landed in answers

After a placement goes live, re-ask the questions that source was feeding and compare. If the answers do not move within a re-measure cycle, either the source mattered less than the count suggested, or the mention lacks the substance engines quote — specifics, numbers, and comparisons get cited; adjectives do not. Fix the mention before adding new targets.

What good looks like

The best operators notice the shape of what engines quote from each source — a comparison table, a price, a spec — and ask for that placement, not a logo on a partner wall. The mediocre version is generic link-building outreach re-sent with new words in the subject line, ordered by domain authority, never re-measured. Good output attaches evidence to every target — the answers that source fed — so each outreach message writes itself, and every closed row has a before-and-after answer pair proving it mattered.

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.
