Produces detailed report with per-item scores, dimension analysis, weighted CITE Score (0-100), and prioritized action plan ranked by impact

Pairs with content-quality-auditor for combined 120-item assessment (domain + page-level evaluation) and supports comparative audits across multiple domains

Domain Authority Auditor

Based on CITE Domain Rating. Full benchmark reference: 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 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.
