seo-backlinks

seo-backlinks is a skill for Claude Code from ZachArticulateV/designer-pro-and-seo. It costs 127 tokens per session (879 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A website link-profile analyzer that examines which other sites link to a domain, the words used in those links, suspicious links, and competitors’ links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit backlinks, compare your link profile with competitors, find link-building targets, and review anchor text or toxic-link concerns.
Why use it?
It brings link information into one profile, including a qualitative fallback when detailed link-data services are unavailable. This helps reveal missing opportunities and potentially harmful links.

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

seo-backlinks 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 12d 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.

Family: seo Status: Stable

Purpose

Backlink intelligence on a free-to-premium ladder. Tool-aware: with a link-data MCP connected (DataForSEO/Moz/Bing) it returns a full referring-domain profile with metrics; without one, it assembles a qualitative profile from public signals (Common Crawl web graph, Bing Webmaster) plus web-search mention discovery — rarer than it sounds on the free tier, and a genuine differentiator.

Triggers

  • "backlinks" / "backlink audit"
  • "link profile" / "referring domains"
  • "anchor text"
  • "toxic links" / "disavow"
  • "link gap" / "competitor backlinks"
  • "link building"

Inputs

  • Domain
  • Optional competitor domains (for gap analysis)
  • Tier preference (auto | built-in | premium)

Steps

  1. Detect tooling. Check whether a link-data MCP (DataForSEO/Moz/Bing) is exposed this session (scripts/workflow/capability_probe.py reports relevant keys).
  2. Premium path (Tier 1, if connected). Pull the full profile via the connected MCP (referring domains, anchors, authority metrics); flag toxic links on conservative thresholds; compute competitor gap.
  3. Built-in path (Tier 2, always available). Assemble a qualitative profile with WebSearch: discover brand/URL mentions and likely linking domains, and group them. If you have access to a public web-graph (Common Crawl / Bing Webmaster), fold it in — the plugin ships no such fetcher, so treat it as optional. Label the result qualitative: exact counts, authority, and confirmed toxicity need Tier 1.
  4. Synthesize. Produce the inventory, an anchor-text read, conservatively-flagged toxic candidates (with the caveat that confirmation needs metrics), and a competitor-gap prospect list.
  5. Report which tier ran and what a link-data MCP would add.

Capability routing

This skill follows the plugin's capability-tier cascade (references/CAPABILITY-TIERS.md):

  1. Tier 1 — link-data MCP. DataForSEO/Moz/Bing if connected → full metric profile.
  2. Tier 2 — built-in (default). Common Crawl / Bing public signals + WebSearch mention discovery → a qualitative profile and prospect list.
  3. Tier 4 — guided. If the user needs authoritative counts/scores and no MCP is connected, deliver the qualitative profile and name the setup to unlock metrics.

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.
