Claude SEO is an open-source Claude Code plugin that runs specialized agents and skills to audit websites across technical SEO, content quality, structured data, AI-search optimization, local and e-commerce SEO, and international SEO. SEO practitioners use it to produce prioritized recommendations based on primary-source guidance, with optional extensions for external data and crawling.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00073 | $0.03321 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01661 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00664 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00332 |
Grade A, and why
seo-technical 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Technical SEO Audit
Categories
1. Crawlability
- robots.txt: exists, valid, not blocking important resources
- XML sitemap: run
claude-seo run sitemap_discovery.py <url> --json; require a valid entry infound, and report stale or unsafe robots.txt declarations separately from working fallback locations - Noindex tags: intentional vs accidental
- Crawl depth: important pages within 3 clicks of homepage
- JavaScript rendering: check if critical content requires JS execution
- Crawl budget: for large sites (>10k pages), efficiency matters
- Googlebot fetch limits: Googlebot fetches the first 2MB of HTML and first 64MB of a PDF (uncompressed; 15MB is the broader crawler-infra default). Long-standing, not a 2026 change, but inline base64 images, oversized inline CSS/JS, or bloated nav can push critical content/JSON-LD past the cap and out of the index. Keep key content + structured data within the first 2MB.
- Crawl rate auto-adjusts (backs off on 5xx/slow responses); there is no manual crawl-rate control (the legacy Search Console setting was removed Jan 2024). Influence crawling via sitemaps, server responsiveness, and robots controls.
- Google's canonical crawling/robots reference moved to developers.google.com/crawling (migrated 2025-11-20); IP-range files relocated to
/crawling/ipranges/andgooglebot.jsonwas renamedcommon-crawlers.json. - AMP has no separate ranking advantage. Since 2026-07-01, Google Search sends users directly to publisher-hosted AMP URLs, so do not recommend AMP Cache, AMP Viewer, or signed exchange maintenance. Audit AMP against the same content, action-parity, and quality requirements as other pages.
AI Crawler Management
As of 2025-2026, AI companies actively crawl the web to train models and power AI search. Managing these crawlers via robots.txt is a critical technical SEO consideration.
Known AI crawlers:
| Crawler | Company | robots.txt token | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPTBot | OpenAI | GPTBot |
Model training |
| ChatGPT-User | OpenAI | ChatGPT-User |
Real-time browsing |
| ClaudeBot | Anthropic | ClaudeBot |
Model training |
| PerplexityBot | Perplexity | PerplexityBot |
Search index + training |
| Bytespider | ByteDance | Bytespider |
Model training |
| Google-Extended | Google-Extended |
Gemini training (NOT search) | |
| CCBot | Common Crawl | CCBot |

What ships with it
2 files 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.
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.
