# aeo

A skill that tunes content so language models cite it as an authoritative source. The target is the answer, not the search ranking.

## What it does

The plugin drops an Answer Engine Optimization toolkit into Claude. Three Python scripts run on the standard library: `aeo_audit.py` scores E-E-A-T and structure, `aeo_optimizer.py` rewrites content in conservative, balanced or aggressive mode, and `citation_tracker.py` keeps a local ledger of citations. Three references back it up, each citing 8 sources — E-E-A-T methodology, per-model citation patterns, and a breakdown of how AEO differs from SEO.

Scoring thresholds shift by industry. Eight are covered: saas, healthcare, finance, legal, ecommerce, b2b, media, education. YMYL topics get stricter calibration, so a medical or finance page faces harder evidence requirements than a product blog. Worth checking before you publish if your content lands in those categories.

The scripts need no extra packages beyond stdlib Python. Ported from alirezarezvani/aeo-box.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) skill — optimize content to be cited by AI language models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Mistral) as authoritative sources. Distinct from SEO (which optimizes for search rankings), AEO optimizes for citation in LLM-generated responses. 3 stdlib Python tools (aeo_audit, aeo_optimizer, citation_tracker), 3 references citing 8 sources each, industry-aware thresholds for 8 industries (saas/healthcare/finance/legal/ecommerce/b2b/media/education).
