This is a broad, output-oriented skill collection for teams that already use supported AI agents, but it is new and currently maintained by one contributor.
Good fit if
- You use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or another compatible agent and want reusable SEO instructions in SKILL.md format.
- Your SEO work includes repository edits, content refreshes or AI-search visibility, rather than only standalone audit reports.
- You are comfortable reviewing agent-produced changes and selecting the skills that fit your workflow.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a standalone SEO application or complete analytics platform rather than agent instructions.
- You require an established release history or a larger maintainer group: the project is under six months old, has no releases in the past year and its work is concentrated with one contributor.
- You need ready-made live SEO data without configuring external MCP services; the skills provide methods, while live data comes from paired services.

Overview
seo-skills is a collection of 17 open-source SEO workflows built on the Agent Skills specification and its SKILL.md format. The workflows are designed for Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex and other coding agents, with Markdown instructions that can also be copied into ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Perplexity or Grok.
Rather than producing broad audit reports, the project aims to help agents deliver practical outputs: code changes, content drafts, SEO plans and visibility reports. Its scope covers traditional technical and content SEO as well as generative engine optimization (GEO) for AI search.
Key Features
- Install all skills or select one using the
skillsCLI. - Audit repositories and propose or implement technical SEO changes, including title tags, headings and bot controls.
- Refresh existing articles using search-results analysis and content-gap checks.
- Plan focused ranking work for a target page or keyword.
- Map buyer questions and plan content for gaps in AI-search citations.
- Support off-page work such as directory submissions and backlink planning.
- Turn repository changes, customer research and recorded media into marketing or content drafts.
- Pair skills with listed MCP servers when live search, citation, backlink or transcription data is needed.
Use Cases
- A SaaS team can use
seo-title-optimizationandblog-refresherto improve search snippets and update posts that have lost visibility. - A developer maintaining a website can run
seo-autopilotto identify repository-level SEO work and prepare a reviewable change. - A marketing team exploring AI search can map buyer prompts, check citation visibility and plan content for uncovered topics.
- A new product team can use customer-research and copywriting skills alongside directory-submission workflows when preparing a launch.

License in Plain Words
No standard license was detected. Without a license, the default copyright rules apply: you may read the code, but not reuse it. Check the repository or ask the authors.

Considerations
- The repository is new, with recent commits but no release history yet. Treat workflows as evolving instructions and review their outputs before using them in production.
- The measured contributor history is concentrated in one person, and there have been no recently closed issues or merged pull requests recorded in the supplied health data. This may limit independent review and visible maintenance signals.
- These are Markdown workflows, not a bundled SEO data service. Some capabilities rely on separately configured MCP servers or external products for live data and actions.
- The README identifies the project as MIT-licensed. Review that license and the terms of any external services you choose to use.
