It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering On-page SEO, Technical SEO and Keyword research. The repository describes itself as: Citizen Intelligence Agency. Open-source intelligence platform analyzing Swedish political activities using AI and data visualization. Tracks politicians, government… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve On-page SEO
  • Tasks that involve Technical SEO
  • Tasks that involve Keyword research

Example prompts

  • “/seo-best-practices”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bbed538. 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 (its code samples are markdown, html, xml and java).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • hack23.com
    • schema.org
    • sitemaps.org

    Also links to:

    • github.com
    • developers.google.com
    • moz.com
    • ahrefs.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

SEO Best Practices loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 244 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.
