AI Visibility Writing

Make useful information easier to find and reuse without making the writing worse for people. Treat AI visibility as a probabilistic outcome with strong retrieval, authority, query, and platform confounders, not as a property a rewrite can guarantee.

This skill inherits the ethical floor from skills/ETHICS.md. If local instructions conflict with that doctrine, skills/ETHICS.md wins. Follow skills/WHY-NOT-SPAM.md when the document will support media outreach.

Choose the requested behavior

• Audit: diagnose the supplied draft and stop before rewriting.
• Question: return only the few answers needed before sound advice is possible.
• Suggest: rank concrete edits without silently applying them.
• Rewrite: apply safe, grounded edits and report what changed.

If the request is ambiguous, audit and suggest. Do not rewrite by default.

1. Build the fact ledger first

Before judging style, record the material the output must preserve:

• every number, date, named entity, title, quotation, attribution, comparison, qualification, and source relationship;
• the document type, intended publisher, audience, and stated purpose;
• supplied links or evidence, including which claim each source supports;
• claims that are promotional, unverifiable from the supplied material, or likely to require fact-check before publication.

Treat the ledger as a ceiling. Never add a statistic, testimonial, citation, link, customer, credential, superlative, causal claim, or other fact merely to make a passage look authoritative. Preserve uncertainty words such as “may,” “estimated,” “in this sample,” and “as of.” If a proposed improvement needs new proof, ask for it instead of writing around the gap.

2. Read the audience and likely queries
