Seo-skills
What is this?A collection of open-source SEO skills for AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, covering daily SEO checks, title tag fixes, blog refreshes, backlink buying, customer journey mapping and copywriting.
Is this a single tool or a bundle of separate skills?It is a bundle: each skill is its own folder containing a SKILL.md file following the Agent Skills spec, and you install the ones you want.
How do I install these skills into my agent?You install individual skill folders (each with a SKILL.md) into an agent that supports the Agent Skills spec, such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
Which coding agents can use these skills?Any agent that reads SKILL.md files, explicitly mentioned are Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.
