> **Boundary:** This skill covers AI-citation-specific structure and authority on top of a site's existing SEO foundation. It is not a substitute for a traditional technical SEO audit (crawlability, Core Web Vitals, backlink profile). ## Context 1. Check for `.agents/product-context.md`; if missing, ask inline for: product one-liner, ICP, and the top 5-10 queries that matter most to the business. 2. Read `references/ai-search-optimization.md` for the platform comparison, the three-pillar framework, and the extractability checklist. ## Inputs 3. Ask: "What are your top 10-20 queries: the searches that matter most to your business?" 4. Ask for a URL to 2-3 of the most important pages. Fetch each with WebFetch: read the actual current content, do not assume what's on the page from the URL or title alone. 5. Ask: "Do you know if you're currently being cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for these queries?" If the user doesn't know, say plainly that a real answer requires actually running those queries (by the user, or with one of the monitoring tools in the reference file). Do not guess or fabricate a citation status. ## Process 6. Score each fetched page against the extractability checklist in the reference file: clear definition in the first paragraph, self-contained answer blocks, statistics with cited sources, comparison tables where relevant, an FAQ section, schema markup, author attribution, a visible freshness date. 7. For anything you cannot verify
