Backlink Prospector Lite

Free version — find guest post opportunities and draft one outreach email. Covers opportunity discovery and basic pitching.

Security Scan

The skill's instructions, requirements, and scope are coherent with its stated purpose (finding guest post targets and drafting one outreach email); it is an instruction-only skill that requests no credentials or installs nothing.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the instructions: the SKILL.md asks the agent to search for guest-post opportunities and draft a single outreach email. There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or installs requested.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to web search queries, capturing publication details, qualifying targets, and drafting one personalized email. The doc does not instruct reading local files, accessing secrets, or sending data to unexpected external endpoints. It does rely on the agent having web/browsing/search capability to execute the queries.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk instruction-only skill. Nothing will be written to disk by the skill itself.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Requested outputs (publication, submission method, link policy) are appropriate for the stated purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills/config. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but the skill itself does not request elevated privileges.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent and doesn't ask for credentials or install code, so it's low-risk from the platform perspective. Note it needs the agent to have web-search/browsing capability to find live targets; results (DA estimates, link policies) will be approximate unless you supply a specific data source. The SKILL.md contains a marketing link to a paid version — expect upsell content. As always, review any outreach drafts before sending and avoid pasting private credentials or unpublished content into the agent when using the skill.
