    Tool defaults are unsafe or overly permissive (e.g. disabled TLS verification, no authentication, world-writable permissions). Unsafe defaults widen the attack surface.
    Fix: Override unsafe defaults with secure settings (verify=True, auth required, restrictive permissions). Review and harden all tool configurations.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00086 $0.01744

Security

Grade A, and why

seo-drift 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 10d 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.

Commands

Command Purpose
/seo drift baseline <url> Capture current SEO state as a "known good" snapshot
/seo drift compare <url> Compare current page state to stored baseline
/seo drift history <url> Show change history and past comparisons

What It Captures

Every baseline records these SEO-critical elements:

Element Field Source
Title tag title parse_html.py
Meta description meta_description parse_html.py
Canonical URL canonical parse_html.py
Robots directives meta_robots parse_html.py
H1 headings h1 (array) parse_html.py
H2 headings h2 (array) parse_html.py
H3 headings h3 (array) parse_html.py
JSON-LD schema schema (array) parse_html.py
Open Graph tags open_graph (dict) parse_html.py
Core Web Vitals cwv (dict) pagespeed_check.py
HTTP status code status_code fetch_page.py
HTML content hash html_hash (SHA-256) Computed
Schema content hash schema_hash (SHA-256) Computed

How Comparison Works

The comparison engine applies 17 rules across 3 severity levels. Load references/comparison-rules.md for the full rule set with thresholds, recommended actions, and cross-skill references.

Severity Levels

Level Meaning Response Time
CRITICAL SEO-breaking change, likely traffic loss Immediate
WARNING Potential impact, needs investigation Within 1 week
INFO Awareness only, may be intentional Review at convenience

Storage

All data is stored locally in SQLite:

~/.cache/claude-seo/drift/baselines.db

Tables

  • baselines: Captured snapshots with all SEO elements
  • comparisons: Diff results with triggered rules and severities

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
