The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.4/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 6e7021d

With no DataForSEO credentials wired up, a naive assistant would happily invent referring-domain counts for the requested domain — this skill instead forces a hard `status: blocked` with the missing-credential reason, matching its own 'never fabricate backlink counts' rule.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Backlink Analysis does

Produces a structured single- or multi-competitor backlink profile (referring domains, anchors, link gap/intersect, velocity, quality mix) strictly from DataForSEO Backlinks API data, blocking with an explicit status rather than inventing numbers when credentials are missing. Triggers on backlink, referring-domain, anchor, link-gap, link-intersect, link-velocity, brand-mention, or competitor link-profile requests for a specific domain or URL.
