What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to audit which other websites link to a given site and how healthy those links are. It walks through a set of data sources (some free, some paid), produces a seven-section report covering link volume, anchor text, referring domain quality, suspicious links, top linked pages, competitor gaps, and disavow recommendations. It works with whatever sources the user has configured and falls back to free Common Crawl domain data when nothing else is set up.

Great for

  • SEO specialists preparing a link audit or disavow review
  • Marketers comparing their link profile against competitors
  • Site owners investigating a sudden drop in search traffic tied to links

Skip it if

  • Tasks where links are not the focus, since the skill says it should only be used when backlinks are the requested topic
  • Making final disavow decisions without human review, because the toxic-link heuristics are review aids and not verified penalty rules
  • Sites that only have Common Crawl data, since the report then has low-confidence domain-level metrics and no verified referring-domain counts

Try asking

  • “Run a full backlink profile analysis for example.com”
  • “Compare the backlink gap between my site and a competitor's site”
  • “Find toxic backlinks and suggest which domains to add to a disavow file”
  • “Check whether a list of known backlinks from my links file still exists”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Configure at least one free source such as Moz or Bing Webmaster for richer anchor and referring-domain data; Common Crawl alone gives limited results.
  • Treat toxic-link flags and disavow suggestions as candidates to verify manually before submitting anything to a search engine.
  • Provide a links file when you want the agent to verify that known backlinks still exist.
