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.

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 | $0.00110 | $0.01764 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00882 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00353 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00176 |
Grade A, and why
seo-traffic-diagnosis 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.
This is a copy
88% identical to seo-traffic-diagnosis — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

SEO Traffic Diagnosis
Diagnose why organic traffic moved (down, flat, or unexpectedly up) using Ahrefs MCP combined with Search Console and analytics data. Stack-agnostic. Produces a root-cause diagnosis and an action plan.
When to use
- Organic traffic dropped sharply
- Organic traffic has been flat for months despite content investment
- After a known Google algorithm update
- After a migration, replatform, or domain change
- After a deploy that touched routing, redirects, or rendering
- When a competitor is visibly taking organic share
- When a single page dropped from a ranked position
- When stakeholders need an explanation, fast
When NOT to use
- Routine performance reporting (use
analytics-strategy) - Pre-emptive content planning (use
seo-content-gap-audit) - Backlink-only investigations (use
seo-backlink-audit) - Technical issue triage outside of traffic concerns (use
seo-site-health-audit)
Required inputs
- Description of the symptom (what changed, when, magnitude)
- Date the change started (best estimate)
- Recent SEO history: deploys, migrations, content changes, link campaigns
- Access to Ahrefs MCP, Search Console, and analytics
- Confirmation the change is real (not a tracking artifact)
The framework: 5 layers of diagnosis
A traffic change has one or more root causes. Move through the layers in order. Stop when you have enough evidence.
Layer 1: Confirm the change is real
Before diagnosing, rule out:
- Tracking gaps (analytics outages, tag manager issues)
- Bot traffic changes
- Reporting comparison errors (different date ranges, wrong segment)
- Seasonality (compare year-over-year, not just month-over-month)
- Holiday or weekday effects
Cross-check Search Console clicks against analytics organic sessions. Significant divergence often points to a tracking issue, not a real traffic change.
Layer 2: Localize the change
Where is the change happening?
Segment by:
- Country and language
- Device (mobile, desktop, tablet)
- Page or section (homepage, blog, product, category)
- Query type (branded vs non-branded)
- Landing page
What ships with it
1 file 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.
