Description
Link prospecting is an agent skill for finding realistic sites, pages and authors that might link to your page, product, study, guide or tool. It uses the OpenSEO app for prospect discovery, drawing on search results and backlink signals, and then uses the web, search and browser tools the agent has available to find contact paths. From there it can draft outreach. The skill is written around the idea that a link should be earned by a page that a real site would find useful, so its goal is to name plausible prospects rather than a long unsorted list. Its inputs are an OpenSEO project ID, your domain or target URL, and the linkable asset itself, which can be a page, product, study, tool or topic. You can also name competitors, and a market, location or language if the result depends on them. The skill uses the project-context tools that are shared with the OpenSEO app and other agents, so the background you have stored is available to it. It is published by every-app on skills.sh under the open-seo repository, which has about 23.6K stars. The skills.sh listing shows Gen Agent Trust Hub: Pass, Socket: Pass and Snyk: Warn. It suits marketers and founders who have something worth linking to and want a shortlist of places to ask.…
