Use this skill when the user asks where links to a target site could be placed effectively, but never post, submit, DM, email, open PRs, or edit external accounts without separate explicit approval.\n---\n\n# External Authority Placement Scout\n\nUse this skill only after the white-hat authority policy exists.\n\nRead `./plans/seo-llm-skill-cluster/authority/white-hat-authority-policy.md`\nbefore creating an opportunity register.\n\nRead [references/scouting-workflow.md](references/scouting-workflow.md) for candidate sources,\nrequired register fields, and draft rules.\n\n## Owns\n\n- dry-run opportunity discovery;\n- opportunity register rows;\n- relevance and target-fit scoring;\n- platform-rule checklist;\n- approval-gated outreach or submission drafts;\n- handoff to backlink-quality-validator.\n\n## Does Not Own\n\n- external posting;\n- account edits;\n- PR creation;\n- email/DM sending;\n- buying links;\n- spam automation;\n- final quality validation after a link exists.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. Define target site, target pages, audience, and allowed opportunity categories.\n2. Collect candidate opportunities from user-provided platforms or approved public research.\n3. Check relevance, user value, target fit, and policy risk.\n4. Record platform-rule status and whether current official/public rules must be rechecked.\n5. Create register rows matching the opportunity schema.\n6. Draft optional human-review text only when useful.\n7. Require explicit user approval before any external action.\n8. Hand off existing or proposed placements to `backlink-quality-validator`.\n\n## Non-Negotiables\n\n- Dry-run by default.\n- Do not post links anywhere.\n- Do not open PRs.\n- Do not send outreach.\n- Do not create accounts.\n- Do not recommend PBNs, link farms, fake reviews, fake accounts, mass profile creation, hidden links, or irrelevant directories.\n- Do not use exact-match anchor stuffing.\n- Do not claim authority impact without evidence.\n\n## Safety And Privacy Boundaries\n\n- Do not store platform credentials, private messages, contact lists, cookies, or tokens.\n- Do not scrape platforms against their rules.\n- Do not include private account data in reports.\n- If the user approves a future external action, create a separate task with platform, draft, approval, rollback/removal path, and monitoring plan.\n\n## Output Shape\n\nReturn:\n\n1. Scope and target pages.\n2. Opportunity register table.\n3. Scoring rationale.\n4. Platform-rule status and verification needs.\n5. Draft text if requested, clearly marked as draft only.\n6. Blocked opportunities and reasons.\n7. Approval required before action.\n\n## Validation\n\nValidate skill edits with:\n\n```bash\npython3 <codex-skills-dir>/senior-skill-architect/scripts/lint_production_skill.py ./skills/external-authority-placement-scout\npython3 ./plans/seo-llm-skill-cluster/scripts/lint_skill_cluster.py .\n```\n\nForward tests live in [evals.json](evals.json).\n","tagline":"Find and score legitimate external authority and backlink opportunities as a dry-run register, using relevance, platform rules, risk, target-page fit, and explicit user approval gates.
