Seo Keyword Researcher

Research SEO keywords for any topic and generate a complete article brief with primary keyword, secondary keywords, competition analysis, article structure,...

Security Scan

The skill's instructions, files, and requirements are internally consistent with its stated purpose of doing keyword research and producing an article brief.

Purpose & Capability

The name and description match the runtime instructions and references: seed web searches, fetch competitor pages, build keyword clusters, and produce an article brief. Nothing requested (no env vars, no binaries, no installs) is out of scope for an SEO research skill.

Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md explicitly limits activity to web_search and web_fetch for the target topic, extracting headings, word counts and competitor gaps, then generating a markdown brief. The references expand on SEO techniques but do not instruct the agent to read unrelated files, access credentials, or transmit data to unknown endpoints.

Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files to execute. That minimizes disk-write risk and is appropriate for a content-research helper.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Its suggested external tools (SEMrush, Ubersuggest, AnswerThePublic) are listed as optional research sources; the skill does not request corresponding API keys, which is proportionate.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there is no indication the skill requests persistent system-level presence or modifies other skills/config. Normal autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not unusual here.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and limited to public web research: it will perform web searches and fetch public pages to extract headings, word counts and gaps, and then produce an SEO brief. Before installing, confirm that your agent's web_search/web_fetch tools are allowed to access the public web (and will not be given access to internal/private URLs). If you use paid SEO services (SEMrush, Ubersuggest, AnswerThePublic) the skill does not include API keys—you should only provide such credentials explicitly and only if you trust the skill and understand what calls will be made. Finally, be aware that the skill will pull public content from competitor pages — ensure that this behavior fits your privacy and compliance requirements.

Research keywords and produce a complete article brief ready for writing.

Workflow

Step 1: Seed Research

Run 3 searches simultaneously:

web_search: "[topic] + '2026'" (get trending angle)
web_search: "[topic] best/top X compared 2026"
web_search: "[topic] guide tutorial how to 2026"

Step 2: Competitor Analysis

Fetch the top 2-3 ranking pages from results:

web_fetch: [top URL], maxChars=3000 each

Extract: title structure, H2 headings, word count, featured snippet patterns.

Step 3: Generate Keyword Cluster

From the seed searches and competitor analysis, identify:

• Primary keyword: Highest search intent match, moderate competition
• Secondary keywords (5-10): Long-tail variations, questions, comparisons
• Question keywords: "how to", "what is", "why does", "best way to"
• LSI keywords: Related terms that signal topical authority

Step 4: Write Article Brief

Output a markdown brief with:

1. Article title (H1) — include primary keyword
2. Meta description (155 chars max)
3. Primary + secondary keywords
4. Competitor gap analysis
5. Recommended article structure (H2s with sub-points)
6. Word count target
7. SEO recommendations (internal links to add, CTA to include)
