geoskills is a multi-skill monorepo for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Each skill follows the open AgentSkills standard and is compatible with Claude Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Codex CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AgentSkills-compatible agents. Every skill under skills/ MUST follow this structure:
Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.
Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,700 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository9 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
10 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 81
Every skill under skills/ MUST follow this structure:
- Distinctive: line 116
Formatting: Use tables for structured data, code blocks for examples
- Distinctive: line 117
Scoring: Always use 0-100 scale with sub-dimension breakdowns
- Very specific: line 124
Commit messages: Conventional Commits format (feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:)
- Distinctive: line 126
Always update root README "Available Skills" table when adding a new skill
- Very specific: line 131
Add SKILL.md with proper frontmatter (name, description, version)
- Distinctive: line 132
Add README.md with skill documentation
- Very specific: line 133
Add references/, scripts/, evals/ as needed
- Distinctive: line 135
Update root README.md Available Skills table
- Distinctive: line 136
Update this file's directory structure diagram
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

└── raw/ # Research data (not a skill)Skill Internal Structure
Every skill under skills/ MUST follow this structure:
skills/<skill-name>/
├── SKILL.md # Required — skill definition with frontmatter
├── README.md # Required — human-readable documentation
├── references/ # Optional — scoring guides, rubrics, subagent instructions
│ └── agents/ # Optional — subagent instruction files
├── scripts/ # Optional — executable helper scripts
└── evals/ # Optional — evaluation test cases
└── evals.jsonSKILL.md Conventions
- Frontmatter is YAML between
---fences at the top - Required fields:
name,description - Recommended fields:
version(semver, e.g.,1.0.0) nameMUST match the directory name (e.g.,skills/geo-audit/→name: geo-audit)descriptionshould include trigger phrases (20-40 words), use "Use when..." pattern- Body contains the full system prompt for the skill
- Body MUST use tool-agnostic natural language (no platform-specific tool names like
WebFetch,Bash,Agent)
Subagent Instruction Files (references/agents/*.md)
- Each file defines one subagent's instructions
- Frontmatter fields:
name,description nameformat:geo-<domain>(e.g.,geo-technical,geo-citability)- Body contains the subagent's system prompt with scoring rubrics
- Instructions must be tool-agnostic (no platform-specific tool names)
Writing Style Guide
- Tone: Professional, technical, concise
- Audience: Developers and SEO professionals
- Formatting: Use tables for structured data, code blocks for examples
- Scoring: Always use 0-100 scale with sub-dimension breakdowns
- References: Cite research sources when making claims
- No emojis unless explicitly part of a UI element
Git Workflow
- Branch naming:
feat/<skill-name>-<description>,fix/<skill-name>-<description> - Commit messages: Conventional Commits format (
feat:,fix:,docs:,refactor:) - One skill per PR when adding new skills
- Always update root README "Available Skills" table when adding a new skill
Adding a New Skill
- Create
skills/<skill-name>/directory - Add
SKILL.mdwith proper frontmatter (name,description,version) - Add
README.mdwith skill documentation - Add
references/,scripts/,evals/as needed - Subagent instructions go in
references/agents/(not a top-levelagents/dir) - Update root

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
