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-gsc-content-decay 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 12d 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.

GSC Content Decay — 90-Day Decline Detection

@skills/seo/references/mcp-degradation.md @skills/seo/references/gsc-api-reference.md

Identifies pages experiencing true content decay: both clicks AND impressions declining over a 90-day comparison period. Filters out seasonal variation by requiring both metrics to decline simultaneously.

MCP Check

Before calling any GSC tool, verify the MCP is connected:

  1. Use ToolSearch with query +google-search-console
  2. If tools returned — note the actual tool name prefix, proceed to Inputs
  3. If no tools returned — display the GSC MCP error template from references/mcp-degradation.md and stop:
## Google Search Console MCP Not Available

The `/seo gsc content-decay` command requires the GSC MCP, which is not currently connected.

**What you can do:**
- Use `/seo technical <url>` for crawlability and indexability analysis (no live data)
- Use `/seo audit <url>` for a full static SEO audit

**To connect GSC MCP:**
- Install and configure a Google Search Console MCP server (see README for setup)
- Add it to ~/.claude/mcp.json at user scope (NOT project scope)
- Verify GSC property access before running commands (domain vs URL prefix format)
- See references/gsc-api-reference.md for property format details

Inputs

  • site: The GSC property URL. Accept both formats:
    • Domain property: sc-domain:example.com
    • URL prefix: https://example.com or https://www.example.com
    • If user provides a bare domain (no prefix), call list_sites to identify the correct property format registered in GSC.

Date Calculation

Use Bash to calculate 90-day comparison windows (GSC has ~3 day delay):

currentEnd=$(date -v-3d +%Y-%m-%d)
currentStart=$(date -v-93d +%Y-%m-%d)
previousEnd=$(date -v-93d +%Y-%m-%d)
previousStart=$(date -v-183d +%Y-%m-%d)
echo "Current: $currentStart to $currentEnd | Previous: $previousStart to $previousEnd"

Execution

Call compare_performance with 90-day window:

  • siteUrl: the site property
  • currentStartDate: currentStart
  • currentEndDate: currentEnd
  • previousStartDate: previousStart
  • previousEndDate: previousEnd
  • dimension: "page"
  • limit: 1000

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.
