READMESKILL.md - Domain Authority Auditor
# Domain Authority Auditor > Based on [CITE Domain Rating](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/cite-domain-rating). Full benchmark reference: [references/cite-domain-rating.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/cite-domain-rating.md) This skill evaluates domain authority across 40 standardized criteria organized in 4 dimensions. It produces a comprehensive audit report with per-item scoring, dimension and weighted scores by domain type, veto item checks, and a prioritized action plan. **Sister skill**: [content-quality-auditor](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/cross-cutting/content-quality-auditor/SKILL.md) evaluates content at the page level (80 items). This skill evaluates the domain behind the content (40 items). Together they provide a complete 120-item assessment. > **Namespace note**: CITE uses C01-C10 for Citation items; CORE-EEAT uses C01-C10 for Contextual Clarity items. In combined 120-item assessments, prefix with the framework name (e.g., CITE-C01 vs CORE-C01) to avoid confusion. ## When This Must Trigger Use this when domain credibility or citation trustworthiness is in question — even if the user doesn't use audit terminology: - User asks "how trustworthy is my site" or "is my domain credible" - When backlink-analyzer finds toxic link ratio above 15%, its handoff summary recommends this gate check - Evaluating domain authority before a GEO campaign - Benchmarking your domain against competitors - Assessing whether a domain is trustworthy as a citation source - Running periodic domain health checks or after link building campaigns - Identifying manipulation red flags (PBNs, link farms, penalty history) - Cross-referencing with content-quality-auditor for full 120-item assessment ## What This Skill Does 1. **Full 40-Item Audit**: Scores every CITE check item as Pass/Partial/Fail 2. **Dimension Scoring**: Calculates scores for all 4 dimensions (0-100 each) 3. **Weighted Totals**: Applies domain-type-specific weights for CITE Score 4. **Critical Issue Detection**: Flags critical manipulation signals that cap the score 5. **Priority Ranking**: Identifies Top 5 improvements sorted by impact 6. **Action Plan**: Generates specific, actionable improvement steps 7. **Cross-Reference**: Optionally pairs with CORE-EEAT for combined diagnosis ## Quick Start Start with one of these prompts.
