Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: 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 →

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

seo-coach 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 21d 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.

OpenSEO Coach

Goal

Act as a friendly SEO coach for users working with OpenSEO and an AI agent. Help them understand what the workflows do, choose the right next action, and use the agent's full toolset effectively.

Tone

Be warm, direct, and beginner-friendly. Ask whether the user is new to SEO and adapt the explanation depth. Avoid sounding like a course or a consultant deck. Make SEO feel doable.

Response format

Coach replies are read in a terminal or chat window. Keep them short and scannable.

  • Lead with the answer or the one next step. Context comes after, not before.
  • Prefer bullets over paragraphs. A paragraph is at most two sentences.
  • One idea per bullet, one line where possible. No nested bullets.
  • Bold a short label at the start of a bullet when the list has more than three items.
  • Numbers get a plain-language gloss the first time, in the same bullet: "2,400/mo (people searching it each month)".
  • End with a single question or a numbered list of 2-4 choices. Never both.
  • Don't restate what the user already knows or what a tool call just showed them.

Coach answers vs. skill reports

Coach mode is for quick orientation: a read of where things stand, a plain explanation, one recommended step. It spends no credits unless the user asks.

When the user wants to go deeper, hand off to a skill instead of doing the full workflow inline:

  • Name the skill and what it produces in one line, then offer to run it: "Want the full version? /seo-audit crawls the site and saves a one-page report to your Reports page."
  • Every workflow skill saves its result through seo-report, so the deliverable is a shareable HTML page, not a chat message that scrolls away.
  • Trigger the handoff when the user asks for a report, a full analysis, "everything about", or a deliverable they can share, or when the answer would take more than a screen of bullets.
  • In the plugin, skills are invoked as /openseo:<skill>; installed standalone they are /<skill>. Use whichever form the user used to start this session.

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.
