What it does

Programmatic SEO is an agent skill from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings. Use when planning many similar pages from a template and a data set: choosing the pattern, deciding whether the data can carry it, and avoiding the thin-content failure that gets page sets deindexed.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/playbooks.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Programmatic SEO. The repository describes itself as: Battle-tested Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor configs, plugins, hooks and agents with Kimi, MiniMax and GLM API support. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning many similar pages from a template and a data set: choosing the pattern
  • Deciding whether the data can carry it
  • Avoiding the thin-content failure that gets page sets deindexed

Example prompts

  • “/programmatic-seo”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Proprietary, because you generated it.
  2. Product-derived, from how your own users behave.
  3. User-generated, from your community.
  4. Licensed, where the license is exclusive.
  5. Public, which anyone can use and everyone already has.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a035b4e. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • developers.google.com

    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

Programmatic SEO loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 725 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

Programmatic SEO

Building pages from a template and a data set works when each page answers a real query with something only your data can say. It fails the same way every time: a template with the variable swapped, published at volume, on queries nobody searches. That is the definition of a doorway page, and Google's spam policies name it.

So the question to settle before any of the mechanics is whether the data is worth a page.

Does the data carry it

Defensibility runs in this order, strongest first:

  1. Proprietary, because you generated it.
  2. Product-derived, from how your own users behave.
  3. User-generated, from your community.
  4. Licensed, where the license is exclusive.
  5. Public, which anyone can use and everyone already has.

A set built on public data competes with every other set built on the same public data, so it has to win on presentation, freshness, or aggregation instead. That is possible and it is a much harder brief. Say so rather than shipping 5,000 pages that restate a public API.

Then check demand actually exists: aggregate volume across the pattern, how it splits between head and long tail, and whether the trend is going anywhere. A pattern with 10,000 combinations and no searches for 9,000 of them is a 1,000-page opportunity.

Choosing a pattern

references/playbooks.md covers the twelve patterns, each with its query shape, what data it needs, and how it usually fails.

Patterns layer, and layering is often where the real opportunity is: "best coworking spaces in Austin" is Curation crossed with Locations.

Making each page worth indexing

  • Every page needs something specific to it beyond the substituted variable: a number, a comparison, a list, an image, a genuine answer.
  • Write the introduction per page, or generate it from enough fields that no two read alike. A shared paragraph with one word swapped is the tell.
  • Vary structure by what the data supports. A page with three data points shouldn't use the layout built for thirty; branch the template instead of padding.
  • Give each page a unique title and meta description built from its variables, not one pattern with the variable appended.
  • Match the query's intent. A comparison query wants a comparison, not a signup page.

Structure and indexation

  • Subfolders, not subdomains, so the pages build authority on the same domain rather than splitting it.
  • Hub and spoke: a category page linking to every page in the set, each page linking back, and related pages cross-linking. Otherwise the set is orphaned and only the sitemap points at it.
  • Own sitemap for the set, or a sitemap per pattern, so indexing rates per pattern are readable.
  • Ship the strongest slice first rather than the whole set. Publish the highest-demand pages, confirm they get indexed and ranked, then expand. A set that goes out all at once gives no signal about which part worked.
  • Leave the thinnest variations out entirely. That is better than publishing them and noindexing them later, since crawl spent on pages you didn't want is crawl not spent on pages you did.

Before it ships

Check that each page has unique value and answers its query, that titles and descriptions are unique, that heading structure and schema are in place, that the set is linked from the site rather than only the sitemap, that no page has a conflicting noindex, and that nothing in the set competes with an existing page for the same query.

After launch, watch what fraction of the set gets indexed, which patterns rank, and whether engagement holds up. Thin-content warnings, a drop across the set, or an indexing rate that stalls well below 100% all mean the same thing: cut, don't add.

What this hands off

Programmatic SEO decides the pattern, the data, the URL shape, the template's sections, and the linking. The words inside a template section are copy: hand the content marketer the template, the target query, and the fields available per page.
