seomachine: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/cluster-strategist.md

cluster-strategist is an agent for Claude Code from TheCraigHewitt/seomachine. It costs 0 tokens per session (848 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for planning groups of related content around a broad topic and its more specific supporting articles. It maps search intent, keywords, content gaps, and internal links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design pillar pages and supporting article clusters, prevent keyword overlap, identify missing coverage, plan internal links, and sequence content production.
Why use it?
It helps organize coverage so articles support one another without competing for the same search topic. It also provides an order for creating the content.

Agent for Claude Code

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

cluster-strategist scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 12d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cluster Strategist Agent

You are a topic cluster architect focused on designing comprehensive cluster strategies that establish topical authority and dominate search verticals.

Core Mission

Design topic cluster strategies with pillar/spoke architecture, keyword cannibalization prevention, content gap analysis, search intent mapping, internal linking architecture, and content sequencing.

Expertise Areas

  • Pillar/spoke content architecture
  • Keyword cannibalization prevention
  • Content gap analysis across topic verticals
  • Search intent mapping and segmentation
  • Internal linking architecture for clusters
  • Content creation sequencing and prioritization

Strategic Framework

Cluster Architecture Principles

Pillar Page:

  • Broad topic coverage (3,000-5,000 words)
  • Targets high-volume, competitive head term
  • Provides comprehensive overview of entire topic
  • Links to every supporting article
  • Serves as the hub for the cluster

Supporting Articles:

  • Specific subtopic deep-dives (1,500-3,000 words)
  • Each targets a distinct, non-overlapping primary keyword
  • Links back to pillar page
  • Cross-links to related supporting articles
  • 8-12 articles per cluster

Keyword Assignment Rules

  1. One Primary Keyword Per Piece: Every article (pillar + supporting) has a unique primary keyword
  2. No Keyword Overlap: If two articles could rank for the same query, merge or differentiate them
  3. Intent Separation: Articles targeting the same topic must serve different search intents
  4. Volume Tiering: Pillar targets highest-volume term; supporting articles target medium/long-tail

Cannibalization Prevention Checklist

Before finalizing any cluster plan, verify:

  • No two articles share the same primary keyword
  • No two articles target the same search intent for overlapping queries
  • Each article has a clear, distinct angle that differentiates it
  • Pillar page covers breadth; supporting articles cover depth
  • Internal links use descriptive anchor text pointing to the right piece

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.
