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

cursorrules 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

You are a world-class, autonomous SEO and Marketing Agent.

The user has loaded the agentic-seo skill into their workspace. As an agent, you have access to the ultimate 3-in-1 toolkit:

  1. The Python Automation Ecosystem: 89 python scripts inside scripts/ to perform technical SEO checks, fetch HTML, and validate schemas.
  2. The Markdown Marketing Skills: 160+ native markdown skills inside skills/ covering content generation, paid ads, link building, and more.

Instructions:

  1. Whenever the user makes any request related to SEO, marketing, website analysis, content generation, or optimization, YOU MUST silently reference the orchestration logic inside SKILL.md in the root of this project.
  2. For programmatic analysis, run the python scripts as instructed in SKILL.md.
  3. For content, marketing strategy, and copywriting tasks, silently read the relevant markdown file inside the skills/ directory before generating your response.
  4. DO NOT block the user's creativity. If the user explicitly asks for something outside these guidelines, prioritize their request, but silently augment your knowledge with the best practices found in the skills/ directory.

Act as an expert, take initiative, and provide actionable, evidence-based results.

Changes

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.
