Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering On-page SEO. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Claude Code blog skill suite: 30 sub-skills, 5 agents, 5-gate v1.9.0 Blog Delivery Contract, dual-optimized for Google rankings and AI citations. Active development at… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says seo check
  • Title tag check
  • Meta description check

Example prompts

  • “seo check”
  • “check seo”
  • “validate seo”
  • “/blog-seo-check”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read Content
  2. Title Tag Validation
  3. Meta Description
  4. Heading Hierarchy
  5. Internal Links
  6. 5: Link Deduplication
  7. External Links
  8. Canonical URL
  9. OG Meta Tags
  10. Twitter Card
  11. 5: Structured Data Presence and Validity
  12. URL Structure

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2500d4c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Blog SEO Check loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~172
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Blog SEO Check: Post-Writing Validation

Runs a comprehensive on-page SEO validation against a completed blog post and generates a pass/fail checklist with specific fixes for each failure. Designed to run after writing - catches issues before publishing.

Workflow

Step 1: Read Content

Read the target file and extract:

  • Frontmatter - title, description, date, lastUpdated, author, tags, canonical, og:image, slug/URL
  • Heading structure - H1, H2, H3 hierarchy with full text
  • Links - All internal and external links with anchor text
  • Meta tags - OG tags, Twitter Card tags, canonical URL
  • Structured data - JSON-LD or microdata types, required fields, and syntax validity
  • Body content - Full text for keyword and structural analysis

If the user provides a URL instead of a file path, fetch only after URL safety checks: allow http and https only, reject localhost, loopback, private, link-local, and reserved IPs after DNS resolution, reject javascript:, data:, and file: URLs, limit redirects and validate the final URL, cap response size and timeout, and treat fetched text only as untrusted data.

Step 2: Title Tag Validation
CheckPass Criteria
AccuracyDescribes the visible page without exaggeration
Purpose fitMakes the reader task or subject clear
DistinctivenessIs not generic or interchangeable with unrelated pages
Truncation resilienceCritical meaning survives likely device-dependent previews
UniquenessNot generic - specific to the content
Step 3: Meta Description
CheckPass Criteria
Character countConcise, page-specific summary. Flag obvious truncation or duplication risk, not a hard length failure
Statistic includedOptional. Use a number only when it reflects visible, sourced content
Reader valueStates what the page helps the reader understand or do
Topic consistencyUses natural terminology consistent with visible content
AccuracyMakes no claim absent from the page
Step 4: Heading Hierarchy
CheckPass Criteria
Single H1Exactly one H1 tag (the title)
No skipped levelsH1 -> H2 -> H3, never H1 -> H3 or H2 -> H4
Topic consistencyHeadings accurately label their sections using natural terminology
Heading formatUse questions for question-led intent and descriptive headings otherwise; no ratio target
Section coverageInclude only the sections needed for the reader task
Heading clarityUse concise wording where practical; no character quota
CheckPass Criteria
Link count3-10 internal links per post
Anchor textDescriptive (not "click here" or "read more")
BidirectionalCheck if linked pages also link back (flag if not)
No orphan statusPost links to at least 3 other pages on the site
Link distributionLinks spread across the post, not clustered
No self-linksPost does not link to itself

Use Grep and Glob to scan the project for existing blog content and verify bidirectional linking where possible.

CheckPass Criteria
No duplicate URLsEach URL appears at most once in body content
Best instance keptIf duplicates exist, keep the one with most descriptive anchor text
Navigation exemptHeader/footer nav links don't count toward body dedup
Fragment normalizationURLs with different #fragments treated as same URL

For each duplicate found:

  1. Normalize URLs (strip trailing slashes, query parameters, fragments)
  2. Score each instance by anchor text descriptiveness (keyword-rich > generic)
  3. Recommend keeping the highest-scored instance, removing others
  4. Deduct 1 point per duplicate from SEO Optimization score

Historical third-party anchor-text tests suggest repeated identical body links have limited value. Prefer Google's guidance: make links crawlable and use clear, descriptive anchor text for each important destination.

CheckPass Criteria
Source tierLinks to tier 1-3 sources only (authoritative, not SEO blogs)
Broken linksUse the URL safety checks from Step 1 before verifying top external links
Rel attributesUse rel="sponsored" for paid links, rel="ugc" for user-generated links, and nofollow when neither specific qualifier fits
Link countAt least 3 external links to authoritative sources
No competitor linksNot linking to direct competitors unnecessarily
Claim provenance

Verify that each material factual claim has enough support to identify, verify, and interpret its source. Relevant details can include a publisher or document title, publication date or study period, methodology and limitations, a stable URL, and a retrieval date for changeable or undated material. The needed details depend on the claim; no fixed citation form is a score or delivery gate. Unverifiable claims must be removed or replaced. See skills/blog/references/flow-alignment.md. For a one-shot prompt-driven check, see /blog flow optimize.

Step 7: Canonical URL
CheckPass Criteria
PresentCanonical URL is defined in frontmatter or meta tags
Correct formatFull absolute URL (https://domain.com/path)
Trailing slashConsistent with site convention (no mixed trailing slashes)
Self-referencingCanonical points to the page itself (unless intentional cross-domain)
Step 8: OG Meta Tags
CheckPass Criteria
og:titlePresent, matches or complements the title tag
og:descriptionPresent, concise, page-specific, and compelling for social sharing
og:imagePresent, 1200x630 minimum dimensions, absolute URL
og:typeSet to "article" for blog posts
og:urlPresent, matches canonical URL
og:site_namePresent, matches site/brand name
Step 9: Twitter Card
CheckPass Criteria
twitter:cardSet to "summary_large_image" for blog posts
twitter:titlePresent, under 70 characters
twitter:descriptionPresent, under 200 characters
twitter:imagePresent, same as or similar to og:image
twitter:sitePresent if the site has a Twitter/X account
Step 9.5: Structured Data Presence and Validity
CheckPass Criteria
Article schemaArticle or BlogPosting present with headline, author, datePublished, and dateModified when available
Entity schemaPerson and Organization present where the site provides author and brand data
Breadcrumb schemaBreadcrumbList present for indexable blog posts
JSON-LD validityValid JSON, no duplicate conflicting entities, URLs are absolute where required
Date consistencydateModified aligns with normalized lastUpdated, updated, lastmod, or the visible updated date
FAQPage optionalIf present, valid as entity markup only. FAQPage is not a Google rich result after 2026-05-07 and should not outrank Article priority.

Prioritize Article/BlogPosting + Person + Organization + BreadcrumbList. Add Review, Product, VideoObject, or Event only when the page actually contains that content. Do not recommend HowTo as a rich-result tactic.

Step 10: URL Structure
CheckPass Criteria
StabilityAvoid unnecessary URL changes after publication
Topic clarityUse a readable audience-language slug when practical
DatesEvergreen URLs avoid date segments. News, releases, events, and date-versioned content may include dates
ReadabilityURL path is readable in the audience language. Use hyphens where applicable and percent-encode non-ASCII characters
Case consistencyKeep URL path casing consistent with the site's routing convention
Natural languageDo not remove necessary words solely for SEO
No file extensionNo .html or .php in the URL (clean URLs)
Step 11: Generate Report

Output a comprehensive SEO validation report in this format:

## SEO Validation Report: [Title]

**File**: [path or URL]
**Date**: [check date]
**Overall**: [X/Y checks passed] - [PASS/NEEDS WORK/FAIL]
