If the profile is missing or stale (>90 days), declare `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` and recommend `entity-optimizer` as an open loop. - **Writes**: a user-facing content, metadata, or schema deliverable plus a reusable summary that can be stored under `memory/content/`. - **Promotes**: approved angles, messaging choices, missing evidence, and publish blockers to `memory/hot-cache.md` and `memory/open-loops.md`; propose durable decisions as pending-decision items. - **Done when**: each target AI query has a standalone, quotable answer block; a before/after GEO score and AI Query Coverage are reported; and the CORE-EEAT GEO self-check (C02, O03, O05, E01) has no unaddressed Fail. - **Primary next skill**: use the `Next Best Skill` below when the asset is ready for review or deployment. ### Handoff Summary > Emit the standard shape from [skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/skill-contract.md). ## Data Sources Use `~~AI monitor` and `~~SEO tool` when connected; otherwise ask for target queries, content, engines, competitor examples, and known AI-citation gaps. See [CONNECTORS.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/CONNECTORS.md). ## Instructions When a user requests GEO optimization, run these five steps: 1. **Load CORE-EEAT GEO-First Targets** — prioritize C02, C09, O03, O05, E01, O02 plus engine-specific preferences. 2. **Analyze Current Content** — score clear definitions, quotable statements, factual density, source citations, Q&A format, authority signals, freshness, and structure clarity. 3. **Apply GEO Techniques** — add standalone 25-50 word definitions, sourced quotable statements, expert/source signals, Q&A/tables/lists, specific data, and visible-content-matching FAQ schema. 4. **Generate GEO Output** — report Changes Made, before/after GEO score, and AI Query Coverage. 5. **CORE-EEAT GEO Self-Check** — verify C02, C04, C09, O02, O03, O05, O06, R01, R02, R04, R07, E01, Exp10, Ept08 with Pass/Warn/Fail. Label every metric **Measured** (tool/export), **User-provided**, or **Estimated** (model inference); never present an estimate as measured; if a required metric is unavailable, mark it N/A — do not invent it. > **Reference**: See [Instructions Detail](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/build/geo-content-optimizer/references/instructions-detail.md) for the full CORE-EEAT GEO target tables, AI engine preferences, analysis templates, optimization report template, self-check matrix, and examples. ## Example **User**: "Optimize this paragraph for GEO: 'Email marketing is a good way to reach customers. It's been around for a while and many businesses use it.'" **Output** adds a clear definition, dated/source-backed facts, structured list, quotable statements, and a before/after GEO score.
