Affiliate Disclosure Audit
Audits a site’s content for affiliate and partnership disclosures per FTC / EU consumer rules.
Entry verified April 21, 2026
The short answer
The FTC requires “clear and conspicuous” disclosure on every page with affiliate links — not just a site-wide policy page. This skill scans every content file for affiliate links (Amazon, Bookshop, Impact, ShareASale, etc.) and flags the ones missing an above-the-fold disclosure.
When to use it
Any site with affiliate revenue, especially content-heavy sites (reviews, comparison pages, gift guides). Before writing a new wave of reviews — easier to template the disclosure than retrofit 50 posts.
Setup
- 1
Save as ~/.claude/commands/affiliate-disclosure-audit.md. Skill scans src/content, pages/, posts/ for common affiliate domains.
- 2
For each file with an affiliate link, checks for a disclosure block within the first 800 characters (or above the first affiliate link).
- 3
Reports: files with affiliate links, which have disclosure, which don’t — ranked by monetisation risk.
Example
You: /affiliate-disclosure-audit
Claude: Scanned 127 content files.
Affiliate links found: 89 files
Disclosure present: 62 (70%)
Missing disclosure: 27 — flagged as HIGH RISK

Caveats
Disclosure wording requirements vary by jurisdiction (FTC in US, ASA in UK, DSA in EU). This skill checks presence, not wording — verify against your compliance policy.
