Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
Evaluates domain authority across 40 standardized criteria organized in 4 dimensions, producing an audit report with per-item scoring, dimension scores, and a prioritized action plan. It also flags critical manipulation signals and can pair with another audit for combined diagnosis.
How it works
The skill performs a full 40-item audit with Pass/Partial/Fail scoring for each item. It calculates scores for four dimensions (C, I, T, E) from 0 to 100 each, then applies domain-type-specific weights to compute a weighted total. It detects critical issues that may veto the score and identifies Top 5 improvements for action. It can optionally cross-reference with CORE-EEAT for a combined diagnosis. The Quick Start prompts provide example commands to run the audit and produce a verdict and handoff summary. It includes a structured Skill Contract indicating gate verdict, required outputs, and data flow between memory locations.
When to use it
Use when domain credibility or citation trustworthiness is in question, including questions about how trustworthy a site is, whether a domain is credible, or when evaluating domain authority before campaigns, benchmarking competitors, or after link-building activities. Trigger phrases include audit domain authority, CITE audit, domain trust score, site authority, and related multilingual variants.
What this skill does
- Full 40-Item Audit: Scores every CITE check item as Pass/Partial/Fail
- Dimension Scoring: Calculates scores for all 4 dimensions (0-100 each)
- Weighted Totals: Applies domain-type-specific weights for CITE Score
- Critical Issue Detection: Flags critical manipulation signals that cap the score
- Priority Ranking: Identifies Top 5 improvements sorted by impact
- Action Plan: Generates specific, actionable improvement steps
- Cross-Reference: Optionally pairs with CORE-EEAT for combined diagnosis
Data Sources
The skill can operate with manual data or connected tools; it can pull backlink profiles, keyword rankings, citation data, knowledge graph signals, and brand mentions if connectors are available, otherwise it requests data from the user. It outputs a user-facing authority report and a reusable summary for archival storage, and promotes veto items and domain risks to hot cache memory.
Instructions
When a user requests a domain authority audit, the agent follows a preparation step to determine domain, domain type, and dimension weights, then executes the C + I Audit (20 items) and T + E Audit (20 items) in a structured format, marking unverifiable items as N/A — requires [data source] where needed. The final handoff includes a cap and score fields if required by the runbook, and a plain-language verdict at the top of the report.
# 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 does

Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
