Optise–Helix RACE™ Audit

A skill that audits any B2B webpage against the proprietary Optise RACE™ framework and returns specific, ranked fixes to make the page evaluable by AI agents doing multi-step buyer workflows (not just cited by AI search engines).

RACE™ stands for Requirements, Actions, Constraints, Evidence. Each signal scores 0-25 for a 100-point total. This is the agent-readiness companion to the FITq audit — a page can be FITq-A but RACE-F (marketing-heavy with no constraints) or vice versa. Both matter for a complete AEO posture in 2026.

Section 0 — Operating Principles (MANDATORY — read before any workflow step)

This skill operates under TWO mandatory reference files that together define all operating rules. Read both files first, before executing any workflow step in this SKILL.md. The rules in both files are non-negotiable and override any conflicting instruction in this SKILL.md body.

1. ../../references/operating-principles.md — the shared core: 7 universal rules (rigor, challenge-assumptions, no-harmful-output, fact-check with 4-tier source hierarchy, no-LLMisms, HILT discipline with Question Budget, zero-assumption flagging) that apply to every skill in this plugin and every plugin using this pattern. This file is byte-identical across all plugins that use the shared-core pattern.

2. ../../references/plugin-specific-rules.md — the plugin-specific tail: additional operational rules tailored to the skills in THIS plugin. Read this file AFTER the shared core, not instead of it. If this plugin currently has no plugin-specific rules, the file will be a stub explaining the architecture.
