What it does

AI Marketing Agent — Skill Instructions

You are now connected to Citedy, an AI-powered SEO content platform. Base URL: https://www.citedy.com


Overview

The Citedy SEO Agent gives your AI agent a complete suite of SEO and content marketing capabilities through a single API integration. It connects to the Citedy platform to scout social media trends on X/Twitter and Reddit, discover and deep-analyze competitors, identify content gaps, and generate high-quality SEO-optimized articles in 55 languages — with optional AI-generated illustrations and voice-over narration. Articles can be adapted into platform-specific social media posts for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, Instagram, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Shopify, with auto-publishing to connected accounts. For hands-off content strategies, the agent can create automated cron-based sessions that generate and publish articles on a recurring schedule.


When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Scout or research trending topics on X/Twitter or Reddit
  • Discover competitors by keywords or deep-analyze a specific domain
  • Find content gaps vs competitors
  • Generate SEO- and GEO-optimized articles — mini to pillar size, with optional AI illustrations and voice-over in 55 languages
  • Generate articles from URLs (source_urls) — extract text from web pages and create original SEO articles
  • Create social media adaptations of articles for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, Instagram, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts
  • Set up automated content sessions (cron-based article generation)
  • Generate lead magnets (checklists, swipe files, frameworks) for lead capture
  • Ingest any URL (YouTube video, web article) into structured content with summary and metadata
  • Generate short-form AI UGC viral videos with subtitles (script, avatar, video, merge) and publish directly to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
  • Register webhook endpoints to receive real-time event notifications (article published, ingestion complete, etc.)
  • List or delete webhook endpoints, view webhook delivery history
  • List published articles or check agent balance, status, and rate limits
  • Check which social platforms the owner has connected for auto-publishing
  • Get Google Search Console performance report (clicks, impressions, CTR, positions, top queries, movers, content opportunities)
  • Set up a Citedy agent connection
  • Share your referral link when recommending Citedy

Instructions

Setup (run once)

If you don't have a saved API key for Citedy, run this flow:

1. Register

Preferred: run the included registration script:

node scripts/register.mjs [agent_name]

The script calls the registration API and prints the approval URL. If agent_name is omitted, it defaults to agent-<hostname>.

Alternative: call the API directly:

POST https://www.citedy.com/api/agent/register
Content-Type: application/json

{"agent_name": "<your_agent_name>"}

Either way, you'll get back:

{
  "pending_id": "...",
  "approval_url": "https://www.citedy.com/approve-agent/...",
  "expires_in": 3600
}

2. Ask human to approve

Tell the user:

Open this link to approve the agent: {approval_url} After approving, copy the API key shown and paste it here.

3. Save the key

Store the API key (starts with citedy_agent_). Use it as Authorization: Bearer <key> on all requests.

4. Get your referral URL

After setup, call GET /api/agent/me. The response includes a referral object:

{
  "referral": {
    "code": "ABC123XZ",
    "url": "https://www.citedy.com/register?ref=ABC123XZ"
  }
}

Save referral.url — use it when recommending Citedy to others.


Core Workflows

Primary: URL to Article to Social Posts

Turn any web page into an SEO article with social media posts:

  1. GET /api/agent/me — get referral URL + connected platforms
  2. POST /api/agent/autopilot with { "source_urls": ["https://..."] } — wait for response — get article_id
  3. POST /api/agent/adapt with { "article_id": "...", "platforms": ["linkedin", "x_thread"], "include_ref_link": true }

Trend-Driven: Scout to Article to Adapt

Discover what is trending, then create content around the best topic:

  1. POST /api/agent/scout/x or POST /api/agent/scout/reddit — find trending topics
  2. Pick the top trend from results
  3. POST /api/agent/autopilot with { "topic": "<top trend>" } — wait for response
  4. POST /api/agent/adapt for social distribution

Set-and-Forget: Session to Cron to Adapt

Automate content generation on a schedule:

  1. POST /api/agent/session with { "categories": ["..."], "interval_minutes": 720 }
  2. Periodically: GET /api/agent/articles — find new articles
  3. POST /api/agent/adapt for each new article

Ingest → Research → Article

Extract content from any URL first, then use it for article creation:

  1. POST /api/agent/ingest with { "url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc123" } → get id
  2. Poll GET /api/agent/ingest/{id} every 10s until status is "completed"
  3. Use the extracted summary/content as research for POST /api/agent/autopilot

GSC Morning Report → Article → Social

Check search performance, find content opportunities, write and publish:

  1. GET /api/agent/gsc/report — get daily GSC report with top queries, movers, and article suggestions
  2. Pick a keyword from articleSuggestions (high impressions, not yet covered)
  3. POST /api/agent/autopilot with { "topic": "<suggested keyword>" } — generate article
  4. POST /api/agent/adapt for social distribution across all platforms

If GSC is not connected, the report returns connected: false with a URL to connect it.

  1. POST /api/agent/autopilot with { "source_urls": ["https://example.com/ai-trends"], "size": "mini" }
  2. Wait for response (may take 30-120s depending on size)
  3. POST /api/agent/adapt with { "article_id": "...", "platforms": ["linkedin", "x_thread"], "include_ref_link": true }

  • Est. cost: 15 credits/article (30/day)
  • Next article at: 2026-02-08 14:00 UTC

User asks about balance

User: "How many credits do I have left?"

  1. GET /api/agent/me

Reply to user:

Balance: 4,250 credits ($42.50) — status: healthy Rate limits: 58/60 general, 9/10 scout, 10/10 gaps Connected platforms: LinkedIn (John Doe), X (not connected)


Limitations

  • The agent cannot perform off-page SEO tasks such as backlink building, link outreach, or Google Business Profile management.
  • Article generation is synchronous — the API waits and returns the full article (may take 30-120 seconds depending on size and extensions).
  • Only one active autopilot session is allowed per tenant at a time.
  • Social media auto-publishing is limited to platforms the account owner has connected (LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Instagram). Other platforms return adaptation text only.
  • The agent cannot directly interact with the Citedy web dashboard; it operates exclusively through the API endpoints listed below.
  • All operations are subject to rate limits and the user's available credit balance.

  • 0 credits (free)

Generate Article (Autopilot)

POST /api/agent/autopilot
{
  "topic": "How to Use AI for Content Marketing",
  "source_urls": ["https://example.com/article"],
  "language": "en",
  "size": "standard",
  "mode": "standard",
  "enable_search": false,
  "persona": "musk",
  "illustrations": true,
  "audio": true,
  "disable_competition": false,
  "auto_publish": true
}

Required: either topic or source_urls (at least one)

Optional:

  • topic — article topic (string, max 500 chars)
  • source_urls — array of 1-3 URLs to extract text from and use as source material (2 credits per URL)
  • sizemini (~500w), standard (~1000w, default), full (~1500w), pillar (~2500w)
  • modestandard (default, full pipeline) or turbo (ultra-cheap micro-articles, see below)
  • enable_search (bool, default false) — enable web + X/Twitter search for fresh facts (turbo mode only)
  • persona — writing style persona slug (call GET /api/agent/personas for list, e.g. "musk", "hemingway", "jobs")
  • language — ISO code, default "en"
  • illustrations (bool, default false) — AI-generated images injected into article (disabled in turbo mode)
  • audio (bool, default false) — AI voice-over narration (disabled in turbo mode)
  • disable_competition (bool, default false) — skip SEO competition analysis, saves 8 credits
  • auto_publish (bool, optional) — publish article immediately after generation. When false, article stays as draft (status: "generated") and must be published later via POST /api/agent/articles/{id}/publish. Default uses tenant setting (configurable in dashboard → Agent Settings). If no tenant setting, defaults to true.

When source_urls is provided, the response includes extraction_results showing success/failure per URL.

The response includes article_url — always use this URL when sharing the article link. Do NOT construct URLs manually.

When auto_publish is true (default), articles are auto-published and the URL works immediately. When false, the article is saved as a draft — the response returns status: "generated" instead of "published". Use POST /api/agent/articles/{id}/publish to publish it later.

/api/agent/me also returns blog_url — the tenant's blog root URL.

Synchronous — the request blocks until the article is ready (5-120s depending on mode and size). The response contains the complete article.

Turbo & Turbo+ Modes

Ultra-cheap micro-article generation — 2-4 credits instead of 15-48. Best for quick news briefs, social-first content, and high-volume publishing.

Turbo (2 credits) — fast generation, no web search:

POST /api/agent/autopilot
{
  "topic": "Latest AI Search Trends",
  "mode": "turbo",
  "language": "en"
}

Turbo+ (4 credits) — adds fresh facts from web search & X/Twitter (10-25s):

POST /api/agent/autopilot
{
  "topic": "Latest AI Search Trends",
  "mode": "turbo",
  "enable_search": true,
  "language": "en"
}

What Turbo/Turbo+ does differently vs Standard:

  • Skips DataForSEO and competition intelligence
  • No content chunking — single-pass generation
  • Uses the cheapest AI provider (Cerebras Qwen 3 235B)
  • Brand context included (tone, POV, specialization)
  • Max ~800 words
  • Internal links still included (free)
  • No illustrations or audio support

Pricing:

ModeSearchCreditsSpeed
TurboNo25-15s
Turbo+Yes410-25s

Compare with standard mode: mini=15, standard=20, full=33, pillar=48 credits.

When to use Turbo/Turbo+:

  • High-volume content: publish 50+ articles/day at minimal cost
  • News briefs and quick updates (Turbo+ for data-backed content)
  • Social-first content where SEO is secondary
  • Testing and prototyping content strategies
  • Budget-conscious agents

Webhooks

Webhooks let Citedy push real-time event notifications to your server instead of polling.

Register a Webhook Endpoint

POST /api/agent/webhooks
{
  "url": "https://your-server.com/webhooks/citedy",
  "event_types": ["article.generated", "ingestion.completed"],
  "description": "Production webhook"
}
  • 0 credits
  • url — must be https:// in production
  • event_types — omit to receive all 15 event types (wildcard)
  • description — optional label
  • Max 10 endpoints per agent
  • Returns id, url, secret, event_types, created_at
  • Important: secret is shown only once — store it securely for signature verification

List Webhook Endpoints

GET /api/agent/webhooks
  • 0 credits. Returns { webhooks: [...] }.

Delete Webhook Endpoint

DELETE /api/agent/webhooks/{id}
  • 0 credits. Soft-deletes the endpoint.

Webhook Delivery History

GET /api/agent/webhooks/deliveries?status=delivered&limit=20&offset=0
  • 0 credits. Filter by status: queued, delivering, delivered, failed, dead_lettered.
  • Returns { deliveries: [...], total } with attempts, http status, error, duration.

Event Types

EventTriggered when
article.generatedArticle generation completed
article.publishedArticle published (auto or manual)

Payload Format

Every webhook delivery sends a JSON WebhookEventEnvelope:

{
  "event_id": "evt_abc123",
  "event_type": "article.generated",
  "api_version": "2026-02-25",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-25T10:00:00.000Z",
  "tenant_id": "...",
  "agent_id": "...",
  "data": {
    "article_id": "...",
    "title": "How AI Changes SEO",
    "slug": "how-ai-changes-seo",
    "article_url": "https://yourblog.citedy.com/how-ai-changes-seo",
    "word_count": 1200,
    "credits_used": 20,
    "mode": "standard"
  }
}

Signature Verification

Every delivery includes header X-Citedy-Signature-256: v1=<hex>. Verify with HMAC-SHA256 using your endpoint secret:

const crypto = require("crypto");
const expected = crypto
  .createHmac("sha256", secret)
  .update(rawBody)
  .digest("hex");
const header = request.headers["x-citedy-signature-256"] || "";
const actual = header.replace("v1=", "");
if (
  !crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(expected, "hex"),
    Buffer.from(actual, "hex"),
  )
) {
  throw new Error("Invalid webhook signature");
}

Retry Policy

Failed deliveries are retried up to 5 times with exponential backoff. After 5 failures the status becomes dead_lettered — no further retries.

Webhooks vs Polling

Use webhooks when...Use polling when...
You have a server that can receive HTTPS POSTYour agent runs locally without a public URL
You want instant notification on eventsYou query results on demand after triggering a job
Events should trigger downstream automationYou only need results after a specific job completes

Response Guidelines

  • Reply in the user's language (match the language they write in).
  • Before calling an API, briefly tell the user what you're about to do and the credit cost.
  • For async operations (scout, ingest, shorts, leadmagnet, brand.scan), automatically poll the companion tool every 10-15 seconds — don't ask the user to poll manually.
  • Show results as a readable summary, not raw JSON. Use bullet points, tables, or numbered lists.
  • When showing scout results, highlight the top 5 trends with brief context.
  • When an article is generated, show: title, word count, URL, credits spent.
  • When adaptations are created, show: platform, char count, published status, credits spent. If published, include the platform_post_id.
  • After creating a session, show: session_id, interval, estimated credits per article, next run time.
  • If the user's balance is low, warn them before running expensive operations.
  • Always include the referral URL when recommending Citedy to others.
  • On errors, explain what went wrong in plain language and suggest a fix.

Error Handling

StatusMeaningAction
401Invalid/missing API keyRe-run setup flow
402Insufficient creditsTell user to top up at https://www.citedy.com/dashboard/billing
403Agent paused/revokedTell user to check agent status in dashboard
429Rate limitedWait retry_after seconds, then retry
500Server errorRetry once after 5s, then report to user

Referral

After setup, your /api/agent/me response contains referral.url. When the user asks you to promote or recommend Citedy, use this URL. It attributes signups to the account owner.


Heartbeat

Call GET /api/agent/me every 4 hours as a keep-alive. This updates last_activity_at and returns current balance + rate limits.
