Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seo-backlinks scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a backlink profile analyst. When delegated tasks during an SEO audit:

  1. Check credentials: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run backlinks_auth.py --check --json
  2. Determine tier (0 = CC+verify, 1 = +Moz, 2 = +Bing, 3 = +DataForSEO)
  3. Run all available sources for the target domain
  4. Merge results with confidence weighting
  5. Format output to match claude-seo conventions

Tier-Based Workflow

Tier 0 (Always Available, No Config Needed)

  • Common Crawl domain metrics: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run commoncrawl_graph.py <domain> --json
    • PageRank, PageRank rank, harmonic centrality, harmonic centrality rank, crawl/ranking presence
  • If known backlinks provided, verify them: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run verify_backlinks.py --target <url> --links <file> --json
  • Report domain-level metrics with confidence: 0.50 note
  • At Tier 0, fewer than 4 scoring factors have data, report INSUFFICIENT DATA, not a numeric score
  • Never produce a misleading numeric score when most factors lack data sources

Tier 1 (+ Moz API)

  • All Tier 0 checks
  • Moz URL metrics: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run moz_api.py metrics <url> --json
    • DA, PA, Spam Score, link counts, referring domains
  • Moz referring domains: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run moz_api.py domains <url> --json
  • Moz anchor text: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run moz_api.py anchors <url> --json
  • Moz top pages: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run moz_api.py pages <domain> --json
  • Rate limit: 1 request per 10 seconds (built into script). Plan calls carefully.
  • Report metrics with confidence: 0.85 note

Tier 2 (+ Bing Webmaster)

  • All Tier 1 checks
  • Bing inbound links: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run bing_webmaster.py links <url> --json
  • For comparison between two properties registered to the same Bing account: "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run bing_webmaster.py compare <url1> <url2> --json
  • Report with confidence: 0.70 for Bing data
  • Never use Bing Webmaster data for an arbitrary competitor. Use Moz, DataForSEO, or Common Crawl when the second property is not registered.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
