SEO Research Master — Keyword & Content Strategy

AI-powered SEO keyword research, competitor analysis, and content opportunity identification for any niche. Find the exact keywords your target audience sear...

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only SEO research skill whose requested resources and runtime instructions are consistent with its stated purpose and do not ask for unrelated credentials or installs.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description describe keyword research, competitor analysis, and content strategy; the skill is instruction-only and requests no binaries, environment variables, or installs — all proportional to an AI-guided SEO workflow.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains step-by-step prompts and checklists for keyword discovery, prioritization, competitor gap analysis, and content planning. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, access unrelated environment variables, or call unexpected external endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is provided (instruction-only). This minimizes on-disk execution risk and matches the declared metadata.

Credentials

The skill declares no required credentials, config paths, or binaries. No sensitive environment access is requested, which is appropriate for a guidance/analysis skill that produces prompts and checklists.

Persistence & Privilege

Flags show always:false and default autonomous invocation allowed. There is no request to persist credentials or modify other skills or system-wide settings; privilege requests are proportionate.

Assessment

This skill is instruction-only and coherent with its SEO research purpose — it won't install code or ask for credentials. However, its outputs (estimated monthly searches, competition scores, etc.) are generative estimates from the model and not authoritative. If you need accurate search volumes or backlink data, verify results with real SEO tools (Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Search Console). Also review any competitor URLs or confidential site data you provide before sharing; the skill itself doesn't request credentials, but your agent's logs or transcripts may contain whatever you input, so avoid pasting sensitive account tokens or passwords into prompts.

Phase 2: Keyword Prioritization Matrix

Score each keyword on these criteria:

Keyword	Monthly Volume	Difficulty (1-10)	Business Value	Priority Score
[Keyword]	[Est. volume]	[1-10]	[High/Med/Low]	[(Volume/Difficulty) × Value]

Priority Formula:

• High priority = High volume + Low difficulty + High business value
• Quick wins = Medium volume + Very low difficulty (new sites start here)
• Long-term targets = High volume + High difficulty (build authority first)

---

Phase 3: Competitor Analysis

Competitor Content Gap Analysis

For each competitor, identify:

COMPETITOR: [Name/URL]
Their top ranking keywords: [list]
Content they rank for that you don't: [gap list]
Content you rank for that they don't: [your advantage]
Their weak spots (thin content, poor UX, missing topics): [list]

Content Gap Opportunities

The AI will identify topics your competitors haven't covered well — these are your fastest path to ranking.

Prompt to use:

Analyze content gaps between [YOUR BRAND] and [COMPETITOR] in [NICHE].
List 10 topics that [COMPETITOR] ranks for but hasn't covered thoroughly.
These are opportunities to create better content and outrank them.
