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

seoagent CLAUDE.md 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 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.

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.

SEOAgent

Open-source, agent-first SEO toolkit — keyword research, rank tracking, site audits, competitor analysis, content gap analysis, domain reputation, and AI-powered strategy generation.

Architecture

TypeScript pnpm monorepo with 4 packages:

  • packages/core/ (@seoagent/core) — all business logic. Every feature is a function here first.
  • packages/cli/ (seoagent) — commander.js CLI, thin wrapper over core
  • packages/mcp/ (seoagent-mcp) — MCP server with 24 tools, thin wrapper over core
  • packages/dashboard/ — Vite + React + Tailwind local web UI (read-only)

Tech Stack

  • TypeScript, Node.js >= 20, pnpm workspaces
  • SQLite via better-sqlite3 (one DB per project at ~/.seoagent/projects/<slug>/seoagent.db)
  • Vitest for testing (260 tests across 38 files)
  • DataForSEO for keyword/SERP/backlink data
  • Google Search Console API (googleapis)
  • LLM strategy: Anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK, Ollama (fetch)
  • Crawler: undici + cheerio
  • Dashboard: Vite, React, React Router, Tailwind CSS v4, Recharts

Key Commands

pnpm install          # install all deps
pnpm build            # build all packages
pnpm test             # run all tests
pnpm -r run test      # run tests across all packages

# Core only
cd packages/core && pnpm test
cd packages/core && pnpm build

Code Conventions

  • All business logic in packages/core/src/. CLI/MCP/Dashboard are thin wrappers.
  • Barrel export from packages/core/src/index.ts — add new exports there.
  • Tests in packages/core/src/__tests__/ using Vitest with globals.
  • TDD workflow: test first, implement, verify.
  • SQLite schema in packages/core/src/schema.ts — tables created via openDatabase().
  • Config at ~/.seoagent/config.json, projects at ~/.seoagent/projects/<slug>/.
  • SEOAGENT_HOME env var overrides ~/.seoagent (used in tests with temp dirs).

Data Sources

  1. Free: Google Search Console API, PageSpeed Insights, local crawler
  2. Paid: DataForSEO (~$0.001/query) — keyword volumes, SERP, backlinks
  3. Derived: content gaps, rank deltas, audit scores, strategy (LLM or rule-based)

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.
