Agent Skills
The ready-made workflows that turn RankX AI's tool list into a job. What each one does, how to install it, and the guarantees they all carry.
RankX AI ships six Agent Skills: written workflows that turn the tool list into a job an assistant can run properly, with the confirmation steps, the denominators and the refusals already in them. Download the one you want, drop it into your client's skills directory, and ask for the job by name.
A skill is not a script. It is instructions an assistant reads, so it stays useful when the shape of your account is unusual, and it can stop and ask you something.
| Skill | What it does | File |
|---|---|---|
rankxai-competitor-analysis | Reads how your saved competitors show up in AI answers where your brand does not, and says which of those losses are worth acting on. | rankxai-competitor-analysis.md |
rankxai-content-brief | Turns a keyword or a topic cluster into a researched content brief, with the target keyword chosen on measured evidence, and optionally generates the draft for a human to review. | rankxai-content-brief.md |
rankxai-keyword-research | Reviews your tracked keyword portfolio, finds the gaps against your topic clusters and citation evidence, then saves and clusters new keywords with you confirming every write. | rankxai-keyword-research.md |
rankxai-shopping-visibility | Works out whether your products get recommended in AI shopping answers, and whether a gap is a catalogue problem, a listing problem or nothing at all. | rankxai-shopping-visibility.md |
rankxai-site-health | Turns the latest completed Website Audit into a short, prioritised task list on the Tasks board rather than a dump of every finding. | rankxai-site-health.md |
rankxai-visibility-audit | Produces an evidence-backed picture of where your brand appears and fails to appear in AI answers and Google AI Overviews, and what to do about it. | rankxai-visibility-audit.md |
The list above is generated from RankX AI itself rather than written by hand, as at 19 August 2026 (source 377ef780). When the product changes, this page changes with it.
Installing one
Connect RankX AI first
A skill calls tools, so it needs a working connection. See connect a client.
Download the file
Each skill is a single SKILL.md. Fetch it from the table above, or:
curl -O https://rankxai.com/agent-skills/rankxai-visibility-audit.mdPut it where your client looks
Most clients read skills from a directory in the project or in your home
directory, one folder per skill, with the file named SKILL.md inside it:
mkdir -p .claude/skills/rankxai-visibility-audit
curl -o .claude/skills/rankxai-visibility-audit/SKILL.md \
https://rankxai.com/agent-skills/rankxai-visibility-audit.mdCheck your client's own documentation for where it looks; the file itself is the same everywhere.
Ask for the job
"Run a RankX AI visibility audit on my main website."
The skill tells the assistant which tools to call, in what order, what to confirm with you, and how to report what it finds.
What each one does
Visibility audit. The one to start with. It produces an evidence-backed picture of where your brand appears and fails to appear in AI answers and Google AI Overviews, and what to do about it. Read-only by default, with one optional credit-spending refresh it will ask you about first.
Keyword research. Reviews your tracked keyword portfolio against your topic clusters and your citation evidence, finds the gaps, and saves and clusters new keywords with you confirming every write.
Competitor analysis. Reads how your saved competitors show up in answers where you do not, and separates the losses worth acting on from the ones that are just category noise.
Site health. Turns the most recent completed Website Audit into a short, prioritised, deduplicated task list on the Tasks board. Deliberately not a dump of every finding.
Content brief. Turns a keyword or a topic cluster into a researched brief, with the target keyword chosen on measured evidence rather than on instinct, and optionally generates the draft for a human to review.
Shopping visibility. Works out whether your products get recommended in AI shopping answers, and whether a gap is a catalogue problem, a listing problem or nothing at all. This one is product-level; the other five are brand-level.
Four guarantees every skill carries
These are enforced by tests in the product, so a skill that broke one would not ship:
No invented metrics. A skill reports figures the tools returned and does not compute a headline number nobody defined.
Spend is confirmed. Any skill that can call a spend tool checks the balance first and asks you before calling it.
No upstream vendor is named. Where a check fails, a skill reports which assistant failed, not the raw error text behind it.
Tool output is data, not instructions. Text a tool returns, and especially text read from a connected WordPress site, is never followed as a directive.
A fifth is checked too: every tool a skill references exists in the registry, so a skill cannot drift into calling something that has been renamed.
Writing your own
Nothing stops you. A skill is Markdown with a name and a description at the top, and the useful ones are specific about three things:
- What it needs from the user before it starts, so it asks once rather than five times.
- Which tools it uses, in order, including the polling for the three dispatch-and-poll pairs.
- What it must confirm, and what it must never do without being asked.
Read one of them as a model. They are written for exactly this shape of job, and the confirmation choreography in them is the part that is easy to get wrong.
A note on the files themselves
The files are the product's own, served here unchanged. They are written for an assistant to read rather than for a person: they carry shouted emphasis, calling protocol and the code spelling of the product name. That is what makes them work, and it is why this page describes each one in the site's own words beside a link to the real thing.
Where to go next
- Examples for prompts that need no skill at all.
- The tool reference for what a skill is calling.
- Troubleshooting if a skill stops partway.
