How to use the AI Citability Scorer agent skill (geo-citability)
Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The geo-citability skill is an agent skill that teaches an AI agent to review a web page the way an AI answer engine might decide which passages to quote. It returns a citability score from 0 to 100 along with specific rewrite suggestions. This guide explains what the skill does, how to install it, how to trigger it with plain requests, and what to watch for when it fetches pages and writes files.

- 1Download the skill ZIP. Get the ZIP for skills/geo-citability from the directory page.
- 2Unzip into the skills folder. Extract it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder.
- 3Or upload it in the Claude apps. Go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the skill.
- 4Make sure tools are available. Confirm the agent has file read and web fetch tools, since the skill lists Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, WebFetch and Write.
- 5Ask for a citability score. Give a URL or paste the text and ask for a 0-100 score with rewrite suggestions.
- 6Apply the rewrites and rescore. Fix the lowest-scoring category first, then ask the agent to score the page again.
What is an agent skill and what does geo-citability make the agent do?
An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file that gives an AI agent instructions for a specific kind of task. When the skill is installed and relevant, the agent follows its rubric instead of improvising.
The geo-citability skill focuses on citability: how likely systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini are to cite or quote passages from a page. The agent reads the page and checks for answer-first passages, self-contained paragraphs, structural formatting and fact density. It then gives a 0-100 score with rewrite suggestions.
- Answer block quality (30% of the score): clear definition patterns and answers in the first 1-2 sentences.
- Passage self-containment (25%): passages that name their subject and make sense on their own.
- Structural readability (20%): heading hierarchy, question-based headings, short paragraphs, tables and lists.
- Statistical density (15%): specific numbers, dates, named sources and timeframes.
Install the geo-citability skill
Download the ZIP for skills/geo-citability from the directory page. Unzip it into your personal skills folder, ~/.claude/skills/, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder if you want the skill available only in that project.
If you use the Claude apps, you can instead upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.
- Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/.
- Project install: unzip into the project's .claude/skills/ folder.
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload the skill.
What the agent needs before it can run the skill
The skill declares the tools it uses: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, WebFetch and Write. The agent must have file read and web fetch tools available for the skill to work as intended. The package contains a single file, SKILL.md, and does not run scripts.
The skill uses the network, so the agent may fetch the URL you give it and may write files as part of its work.
- Agent with file read and web fetch tools.
- No bundled scripts: the analysis is done by the agent reading and reasoning about the text.
- Network access is required to fetch pages from a URL.
How to trigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need a special command. Describe the task in plain language and include the page or text to review. The skill's description covers scoring and rewrite suggestions for AI citability, so requests about those topics are the ones it is meant to match.
Give the agent a URL or paste the passage. Ask for a score, a breakdown by category, or specific rewrites.
- "Score this page for AI citability and suggest rewrites: https://example.com/your-article"
- "Check whether the paragraphs in this draft are easy for ChatGPT or Perplexity to quote."
- "Review my article's answer blocks and tell me which sections open with a direct answer."
- "Give me a 0-100 citability score for this page and the three changes that would raise it most."
Example: reading a score and acting on it
The rubric rewards passages of roughly 134-167 words that open with a direct answer, name their subject, and include a specific fact. The skill's own examples show the difference: a high-citability passage defines its topic in the first sentence and includes several exact figures, while a low-citability passage is conversational and names no topic.
Use the score as a diagnostic. Read the category breakdown, fix the lowest category first, then rescore after rewriting.
- Rewrite a section so its first sentence answers the heading's question.
- Replace pronouns like "it" or "this" with the subject's name in each paragraph.
- Swap vague quantifiers such as "many" or "a lot" for sourced figures where you have them.
Safety notes and limits
The skill may fetch URLs and write files. If the page or draft is sensitive or private, do not point the agent at it casually. Review what the agent writes and what it fetches.
The score is a heuristic based on the skill's rubric. It is not a measured outcome from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini, and it does not guarantee traffic or citations.
- Use it on public pages or drafts you are comfortable sharing with the tools the agent uses.
- Treat the score as guidance for editing, not a prediction of AI citations.
What people use it for
- Content marketers checking whether article sections open with a direct, quotable answer.
- SEO or GEO specialists auditing existing pages before a rewrite.
- Writers testing how extractable their paragraphs are on their own.
- Editors checking whether headings are question-based and paragraphs are short enough to segment.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the geo-citability skill?
Download the ZIP for skills/geo-citability from the directory page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use, or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder. In the Claude apps, you can upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills instead.
Is the geo-citability skill free?
The skill is published under the MIT licence. This page does not list prices, so check the licence file in the source for the terms that apply to your use.
What does the geo-citability skill require?
It needs an agent with file read and web fetch tools, as listed in its allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, WebFetch and Write. It does not run scripts but does use the network.
Will this score guarantee citations from ChatGPT or Claude?
No. The 0-100 score is a heuristic based on the skill's rubric, not a measured result from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini. Use it as editing guidance.
Is it safe to use on private content?
Be careful. The skill may fetch URLs and write files, which could expose sensitive material if used carelessly. Use it on public pages or drafts you are comfortable sharing with the tools the agent uses.
How does it compare with a traditional SEO audit?
The skill's rubric optimises for extractability, meaning how easily an AI system can pull a passage and present it as an answer. Traditional SEO copywriting focuses more on keyword density and engagement metrics, which this rubric does not score.

Our verdict
Choose geo-citability if you are a content marketer, SEO or GEO specialist, or writer who wants concrete, rubric-based feedback on how quotable your paragraphs are. Pick something else if you need guaranteed AI traffic, or if you cannot let an agent fetch and write files around sensitive content.
