2/ Citation Source Gap Finder

What it does

AI answers are built from a surprisingly small set of sources — review sites, comparison posts, Reddit threads, docs, Wikipedia. Claude analyzes which sources get cited for your category's questions and tells you which ones are worth pursuing, so you stop guessing where to earn mentions.

How it works

Paste in AI answers (with citations) from Perplexity, ChatGPT search, and Google AI Overviews for your key queries. Claude extracts every cited URL, clusters them by type (review platform, listicle, community, editorial, docs), counts citation frequency, and scores each cluster by attainability — can you get listed, pitch an update, or publish a competing page that fits the citation pattern.

Practical example

For "best CRM for agencies," 62% of citations across assistants come from 9 URLs. Claude flags that two are listicles updated quarterly (pitchable), one is a G2 category page (fixable via review volume), and three are Reddit threads (community play). It drafts the pitch email for the listicles and the Reddit engagement guidelines.

What you get back

  • Ranked list of the actual URLs AI cites for your category
  • Source-type breakdown with citation share
  • Attainability score and recommended tactic per source
  • Draft outreach or content briefs for the top opportunities

When to use it

  • After an AI visibility audit shows competitors out-citing you
  • Planning next quarter's content and PR priorities
  • Deciding whether to invest in review platforms vs owned content

Data access (Ryze MCP)

This skill works best with live account data. Connect the free Ryze MCP once and Claude reads your Google Ads, Meta Ads, GA4 and Search Console directly:

  • claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add ryze --transport http https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp
  • Cursor: Settings → MCP → add the same URL

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take irinabuht12-oss/citation-source-gap-finder from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
