open-seo: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/create-repo-skill/SKILL.md

create-repo-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from every-app/open-seo. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,364 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository workflow for creating or updating a coding-agent skill, a reusable set of instructions for a particular task. It defines where skills live, how Claude Code sees them through links, how external skills are locked, and how public skills are registered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a skill, changing an existing skill, creating the required links, marking a skill as internal or public, or updating its documentation registration.
Why use it?
It prevents skills from being duplicated, placed in the wrong directory, or drifting between agent tools. It also preserves the repository's rules for internal skills, public skills, and externally supplied skills.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is every-app/open-seo's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on open-seo itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything open-seo configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ln -s ../../.agents/skills/<name> .claude/skills/<name>.

About the project

OpenSEO is an open-source SEO platform for keyword research, rank tracking, competitor analysis, backlink analysis, site audits, and AI visibility work. It connects SEO data to AI agents through an MCP server and reusable agent skills, while allowing users to supply their own DataForSEO API key and self-host the tool. Catalogue add-ons guide agents through OpenSEO's SEO workflows.

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

create-repo-skill 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a repo skill

The layout (invariants)

  • .agents/skills/<kebab-name>/SKILL.md is the only canonical home for every skill — public product skills (SEO workflows customers install) and internal repo skills (agent workflows like merge-ready, papercuts, this one) alike. Users install from this tree via npx skills add every-app/open-seo.
  • .claude/skills/ contains only symlinks into .agents/skills/ — one per skill that Claude Code agents working in this repo should auto-load. Never copy files: .agents/skills/ is prettier-ignored (vendored skills are hash-pinned) while .claude/skills/ is not, so a copy gets reformatted on the .claude side and the trees drift — this happened to three skills before symlinks became the rule. prettier --check . does not descend into the symlinks, so a symlink stays byte-identical to its canonical source by construction.
  • Vendored skills (external origin) are hash-pinned in skills-lock.json (currently only webapp-testing, from anthropics/skills). Never hand-edit a vendored skill's content; re-vendor with the skills CLI so the lock hash stays valid.
  • .agents/skills/** is part of the review control plane (see AGENTS.md): changes require explicit maintainer review via CODEOWNERS. Make the change on a branch and call it out in the PR — never treat skill edits as incidental.

Creating a skill

  1. mkdir .agents/skills/<kebab-name> and write SKILL.md with frontmatter:

    ---
    name: <kebab-name>            # must match the directory name
    description: <what it does + explicit "use when ..." triggers>
    metadata:
      internal: true              # ONLY for internal repo skills — omit for product skills
    ---
    
  2. Decide which kind it is:

    • Internal repo skill (agent/dev workflow): set metadata.internal: true. Do NOT register it on any public surface. If repo agents should auto-load it, add the mirror symlink:

      ln -s ../../.agents/skills/<name> .claude/skills/<name>
