What it does

When installed, the agent checks whether a website's articles clearly show who wrote them and why that person is qualified, such as bios, credentials, and links to professional profiles. It also looks at the rendered page and HTTP response, not just source files, to confirm search engines can actually see this information, and points out exact templates or routes where it is missing. The skill is a written checklist with guidance rather than a tool that runs code.

Great for

  • Web developers and SEO specialists reviewing blogs, news sites, or publishing platforms
  • Content teams preparing author pages for sites on health, finance, or other YMYL topics

Skip it if

  • Sites without multiple human authors, where the checklist has little to apply to (no reason given in the files)
  • Anyone expecting a guaranteed ranking boost: the files describe author credentials as a trust signal, not a proven ranking factor

Try asking

  • “Audit the author bylines and bio sections on our blog templates for E-E-A-T issues”
  • “Check whether author structured data renders correctly in the final HTML of our article pages”
  • “Review our author profile pages and suggest what qualifications and profile links to add”
  • “Flag routes in our codebase where author information is missing from search-facing output”

Get better results

  • Point the agent at real page URLs or rendered HTML so it can verify the final output, as the skill instructs
  • Supply the routes or templates you want reviewed, since the skill asks for exact locations of violations
