Claude Skills SEO
A focused SEO subset of claude-skills. Designed for SEO consultants, freelancers, and in-house teams who want SEO depth in Claude Code without loading the full catalog.
Why an SEO-focused subset
<!-- AHREFS_MCP:START --> The full claude-skills catalog has 14 SEO skills. 6 list the Ahrefs MCP as a required input: seo-audit-orchestration, seo-backlink-audit, seo-content-gap-audit, seo-keyword-gap-audit, seo-rank-tracking, and seo-traffic-diagnosis. 1 needs it only when its data is pulled through Ahrefs: seo-site-health-audit. Of those, this subset includes seo-traffic-diagnosis and seo-site-health-audit. The others (seo-audit-orchestration, seo-backlink-audit, seo-content-gap-audit, seo-keyword-gap-audit, and seo-rank-tracking) stay in the full catalog. <!-- AHREFS_MCP:END -->
This repo answers the practical question: "which SEO skills should I load in Claude Code?" Load these and your sessions are focused on SEO operations without scrolling past unrelated tools.
When you need the Ahrefs-integrated workflows (backlink audits, rank tracking, gap analysis, orchestrated audits), reach for the full catalog.
Trust and security
These skills are a curated SEO-focused subset of rampstackco/claude-skills and follow the same review and integrity process. Each file is hashed in SKILLS.lock for verification. To report a security issue, see the security policy.
SEO operations flow
<p align="center"> <img src="assets/images/workflow.svg" alt="SEO operations flow showing how the skills fit into 5 phases" width="1000"/> </p>
The skills map to a 5-phase SEO operations flow, plus a meta skill for extending the set. Skills within a phase are designed to work together; phases flow into each other but you can enter the workflow at any phase based on the engagement.
