backlink-analyzer skill for Claude Code: what it does, install
A backlink analysis skill that has moved: backlink-analyzer is now a signpost to offsite-signal-analyzer in the aaron-marketing-skills bundle.
npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills --skill backlink-analyzer -a claude-codeWhat backlink-analyzer does
The skill is no longer developed in seo-geo-claude-skills. That repo runs as a signpost, and the file under monitor/backlink-analyzer/ stays so old links still resolve. The live version sits in the aaron-marketing-skills bundle as seo-geo/monitor/offsite-signal-analyzer. The old analyzer was folded into it, and the README mapping table shows where each one went: 20 skills down to 16.
Install the active skill from the bundle with npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills -s offsite-signal-analyzer. Install under the old name with npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills --skill backlink-analyzer and you get the frozen v9.9.12 copy instead, untouched since the merge. Worth checking which of the two your project actually has before you rely on its output.
Paths after install: ~/.claude/skills/backlink-analyzer/SKILL.md for Claude Code, .cursor/skills/backlink-analyzer/SKILL.md for Cursor, .agents/skills/backlink-analyzer/SKILL.md for Codex.
