The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 15
Read ../_shared/content-attribution.md before presenting reviews, photos, or Google-generated summaries.
- Very specific: line 20
Read references/local-seo.md before running an audit.
- Very specific: line 22
Use maps_local_rank_tracker for geographic rankings.
- Distinctive: line 23
Use place search, comparison, and area exploration to identify competitors and evidence for gaps.
- Distinctive: line 40
Do not recommend deceptive reviews, keyword stuffing, impersonation, or other policy-violating tactics.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill 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.

Google Maps Local SEO
Produce a reproducible local-search visibility analysis grounded in Google Maps results. Use the standalone CLI; no MCP connection is required.
Before calling the CLI
- On the first call in a session, or after an execution failure, read
../_shared/setup-and-diagnostics.mdand run the non-billable local preflight. - The user must supply
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY. Never expose its value. - Read
../_shared/content-attribution.mdbefore presenting reviews, photos, or Google-generated summaries.
Workflow
- Confirm the target business or
place_id, service area, relevant keywords, grid size, and decision the user needs to make. - Read
references/local-seo.mdbefore running an audit. - Resolve the target with
maps_search_placesandmaps_place_details; do not assume businesses with similar names are identical. - Use
maps_local_rank_trackerfor geographic rankings. Keep the keyword, center, spacing, and grid size with every reported result. - Use place search, comparison, and area exploration to identify competitors and evidence for gaps.
- Separate observed API results from recommendations. Explain ARP, ATRP, SoLV, unfound grid points, and sample limitations.
- Present prioritized actions tied to the observed evidence; do not promise ranking improvements.
CLI
npx -y @cablate/mcp-google-map exec <tool> '<json_params>'For exact parameters, read the relevant sections of ../google-maps/references/tools-api.md.
Boundaries
- Ordinary nearby-place discovery and place comparison belong to
google-maps. - Consumer travel itineraries belong to
google-maps-travel-planning. - Grid results are a sampled snapshot, not an exhaustive or stable representation of Google ranking.
- Do not recommend deceptive reviews, keyword stuffing, impersonation, or other policy-violating tactics.

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.
