AEO/GEO Writing — Structuring Content for AI Citation
[!NOTE] Core Philosophy (Mantra): Do not write generalities; write checkable facts. Write content to be the single context-dense sentence that survives RAG retrieval and gets cited by name.
Traditional SEO writes to rank a link. AEO/GEO (Answer/Generative Engine Optimization) writes to be the sentence an AI model extracts, repeats, and attributes to your brand.
AI retrieval systems (RAG) do not read your page top-to-bottom to form an impression. They segment your page into isolated text chunks, evaluate each chunk's relevance and authority in isolation, and either cite it or discard it. This skill enforces rules to ensure your claims survive this extraction process.
Cross-Reference: Always pair this skill with web-ai-slop. AEO copy ensures AI engines find and cite your content, while web-ai-slop guarantees the copy remains engaging, fresh, and free from robotic tropes for human readers.
Rule of application: Apply this skill whenever drafting, editing, or auditing web content, documentation, blog posts, or marketing copy. If the text matches 2 or more patterns in Section 2 (Vagueness) or fails Section 1 (Structure), discard the draft and rewrite.
Apply this silently. Do not narrate "I am optimizing this for generative engine visibility" to the user.
