How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 18
Keep it to 5 calls or fewer per run unless the owner says otherwise.
- Very specific: line 25
Read content/business.json: the seo.market (e.g.
- Very specific: line 35
Write docs/seo/keywords.md with a table: keyword, monthly searches, which existing page should target it (or "new post"), and why.
- Distinctive: line 39
When writing, use the keyword naturally in the title, the first paragraph, and one heading.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

SEO research with real data
An agent without data gives confident, made-up SEO advice. This skill only uses numbers that come back from DataForSEO, and it says so when data is missing.
Cost guardrails (read first)
DataForSEO bills per API call; the calls in this skill cost cents each. Before running:
- Tell the owner which calls you're about to make and roughly what they cost. Keyword suggestions and search-volume lookups are typically a few cents per call; check https://dataforseo.com/pricing for current rates.
- Keep it to 5 calls or fewer per run unless the owner says otherwise.
- The MCP server always calls the live API (there's no sandbox switch), so for a practice run keep it to one or two calls. That's cents. Check the account balance in the DataForSEO dashboard if the owner wants to see it.
Steps
- Read
content/business.json: theseo.market(e.g."Virginia,United States"),seo.language, andseo.seedKeywords, plus what the business sells. - Using the DataForSEO MCP tools (the repo's
.mcp.jsonenables only the keyword-research modules):dataforseo_labs_google_keyword_ideasordataforseo_labs_google_keyword_suggestionsfor 2–3 seed keywords in the market's location.kw_data_google_ads_search_volumefor the most relevant 20–40 candidates.
- Filter hard. Keep searches a real customer of this business would type, with local or purchase intent. Drop national brands, jobs ("bakery jobs"), and recipes, unless the owner wants recipe content.
- Write
docs/seo/keywords.mdwith a table: keyword, monthly searches, which existing page should target it (or "new post"), and why. Add the date and the data source. - Propose, don't publish: suggest up to 3 concrete changes (a title or description rewrite, a new section, or a new journal post) and wait for the owner to pick.
- When writing, use the keyword naturally in the title, the first paragraph, and one heading. Never stuff keywords or invent facts to fit a keyword.

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.
