seo-drift — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited seo-drift (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Git for your SEO. Capture baselines, detect regressions, track changes over time.
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/seo drift baseline <url> | Capture current SEO state as a "known good" snapshot |
/seo drift compare <url> | Compare current page state to stored baseline |
/seo drift history <url> | Show change history and past comparisons |
Every baseline records these SEO-critical elements:
| Element | Field | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Title tag | title | parse_html.py |
| Meta description | meta_description | parse_html.py |
| Canonical URL | canonical | parse_html.py |
| Robots directives | meta_robots | parse_html.py |
| H1 headings | h1 (array) | parse_html.py |
| H2 headings | h2 (array) | parse_html.py |
| H3 headings | h3 (array) | parse_html.py |
| JSON-LD schema | schema (array) | parse_html.py |
| Open Graph tags | open_graph (dict) | parse_html.py |
| Core Web Vitals | cwv (dict) | pagespeed_check.py |
| HTTP status code | status_code | fetch_page.py |
| HTML content hash | html_hash (SHA-256) | Computed |
| Schema content hash | schema_hash (SHA-256) | Computed |
The comparison engine applies 17 rules across 3 severity levels. Load references/comparison-rules.md for the full rule set with thresholds, recommended actions, and cross-skill references.
| Level | Meaning | Response Time |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | SEO-breaking change, likely traffic loss | Immediate |
| WARNING | Potential impact, needs investigation | Within 1 week |
| INFO | Awareness only, may be intentional | Review at convenience |
All data is stored locally in SQLite:
~/.cache/seo-skills/drift/baselines.dbURL normalization ensures consistent matching: lowercase scheme/host, strip default ports (80/443), sort query parameters, remove UTM parameters, strip trailing slashes.
baselineCaptures the current state of a page and stores it.
Steps:
google_auth.validate_url())scripts/fetch_page.pyscripts/parse_html.pyscripts/pagespeed_check.py (use --skip-cwv to skip)Execution:
python scripts/drift_baseline.py <url>
python scripts/drift_baseline.py <url> --skip-cwvOutput: JSON with baseline ID, timestamp, URL, and summary of captured elements.
compareFetches the current page state and diffs it against the most recent baseline.
Steps:
--baseline-id)Execution:
python scripts/drift_compare.py <url>
python scripts/drift_compare.py <url> --baseline-id 5
python scripts/drift_compare.py <url> --skip-cwvOutput: JSON with all triggered rules, old/new values, severity, and actions.
After comparison, offer to generate an HTML report:
python scripts/drift_report.py <comparison_json_file> --output drift-report.htmlhistoryShows all baselines and comparisons for a URL.
Execution:
python scripts/drift_history.py <url>
python scripts/drift_history.py <url> --limit 10Output: JSON array of baselines (newest first) with timestamps and comparison summaries.
When drift is detected, recommend the appropriate specialized skill:
| Finding | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Schema removed or modified | Run /seo schema <url> for full validation |
| CWV regression | Run /seo technical <url> for performance audit |
| Title or meta description changed | Run /seo page <url> for content analysis |
| Canonical changed or removed | Run /seo technical <url> for indexability check |
| Noindex added | Run /seo technical <url> for crawlability audit |
| H1/heading structure changed | Run /seo content <url> for E-E-A-T review |
| OG tags removed | Run /seo page <url> for social sharing analysis |
| Status code changed to error | Run /seo technical <url> for full diagnostics |
| Scenario | Action |
|---|---|
| URL unreachable | Report error from fetch_page.py. Do not guess state. Suggest user verify URL. |
| No baseline exists for URL | Inform user and suggest running baseline first. |
| SSRF blocked (private IP) | Report validate_url() rejection. Never bypass. |
| SQLite database missing | Auto-create on first use. No error. |
| CWV fetch fails (no API key) | Store null for CWV fields. Skip CWV rules during comparison. |
| Page returns 4xx/5xx | Still capture as baseline (status code IS a tracked field). |
| Multiple baselines exist | Use most recent unless --baseline-id specified. |
