AI Citation Auditor

Audit any page to predict whether AI search engines (Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) will cite it, then return a prioritized fix list. Scores 6 dependency-free layers gated by a retrieval-rank prerequisite: answer-first extractability, evidence corroboration, consensus alignment, source-quality fingerprint, SEO-slop detection, and machine structure. Runs on native web fetch and search or on pasted content, with no paid APIs, connectors, or crawlers required. Two modes: AUDIT (URL or draft in, scored scorecard plus fixes out) and REWRITE (turn one section i

# AI Citation Auditor: Will AI Cite This Page?

A pre-publish and live-page gate that predicts whether AI answer engines will **cite** a page, and tells you exactly what to fix if they will not. It runs entirely on tools any Claude has out of the box (web fetch, web search, or content you paste in). No paid SEO stack, no crawler, no connectors.

Ranking in the ten blue links and getting cited in an AI answer are now two different games. This skill scores the second one.

## The Mental Model: Citation Is a Vote

An AI answer engine does not "rank" sources the way classic Search does. For every answer it runs a silent vote between competing sources of truth, and your page is trying to win that vote:

1. **Latent** - what the model already learned in training. Wins by default when nothing contradicts it.
2. **Retrieval** - what the model just fetched for this specific query. Overrides latent for anything current.
3. **Source-quality filter** - a hidden re-ranker that discounts aggregators, thin listicles, forums, and pages that read like manipulative SEO, before the vote even happens.

There is also a hard prerequisite underneath all three: **the model has to be able to retrieve you at all.** Retrieval rank is still the single strongest predictor of AI citation. If a page cannot rank in roughly the top ten for its target query, the layers below are close to moot. Fix retrievability first, then compete on the layers.

Use when the user wants to autonomously search for the best AI/engineering approach across competing candidates (prompts, models, retrieval strategies, architectures, algorithms) — give it a goal + candidate arms + success threshold, it runs the experiment to a defensible ship-or-kill verdict. Autonomously handles sourcing real production data, scoring arms in parallel, diagnosing per-row, sprint-and-generalize iteration, and writing the conclusion doc. Built-in safeguards (held-out test discipline, variance-floor checks, generalization gates) keep the verdict trustworthy.

MCP Sprawl Audit

karanb192/mcp-sprawl-audit

Audit MCP server sprawl on this machine for Claude Code, Codex CLI and Grok CLI. Counts how many copies of each MCP server the running agent sessions hold, what they cost in memory, which ones are duplicates, unused, unpinned or bundled in plugins, and which can run as one shared HTTP copy instead. Use when the machine is slow with many agent sessions open, when someone asks how much memory MCP servers use, or before adding more MCP servers. Read-only; it writes a plan and changes nothing.
