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

engine-seo scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

engine-seo

Finds a question people actually asked, answers it better than what currently ranks, and writes the piece in the user's voice.

This skill runs any engine folder of type seo. The default folder is seo/; paths below (sources.json, inputs/, templates/, runs/, site/) are inside that folder, while brand, accounts and keys live in shared/. Two seo engines are fine — e.g. seo/ for the product blog and seo-docs/ for a docs/comparison site, each with its own sources, site and metric — scaffold with --merge --engine seo-docs:seo, or copy a folder and empty its runs/ and reports/ (history belongs to the original).

Output is markdown, generated locally. Where it goes depends on whether they already have a site — see Publishing below. Either way nothing goes live without them saying so.

How (not just what):

Step Reference
Reddit / SERPs in the browser references/browser-research.md
Find and validate subjects references/subject-finding.md
Cut AI slop / keep voice — every draft, every run references/anti-slop-writing.md
Publishing: the gate, metadata, deploy references/publishing-site.md
After publish (Clarity → rewrites) references/clarity-rewrite.md
Static site / CMS tradeoffs references/advanced.md

Paths in this file: shared/… means the gtm home (~/gtm by default, or $GTM_HOME); templates/, inputs/, runs/ and reports/ mean the engine folder you're running, wherever it lives. The scripts resolve both through ~/gtm/engines.json, so read them as names rather than literal paths.

Where topics come from

Read this engine's sources.json. The default is Reddit, and it needs no account.

Topics don't get found one at a time at the start of a writing run — that's how you end up writing whatever you thought of that morning. references/subject-finding.md is the weekly pass that mines the query grid, validates against live SERPs, scores each candidate and kills the weak ones. Its output is inputs/backlog.csv, and the bar is ≥20 rows at status=validated at all times. Below that, top it up before writing anything — the sources below are the raw material it draws on.

What ships with it

6 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.

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.
