What it does

SEO Aeo Keyword Research is an agent skill from henryalouf/ruflow. Researches and prioritises SEO keywords with AEO question queries, difficulty tiers, cannibalization checks, and a content map. Activate when the user wants to find keywords, research search terms, or build a keyword strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 AI search optimization and Keyword research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to find keywords
  • Research search terms
  • Build a keyword strategy

Example prompts

  • “Use the seo-aeo-keyword-research skill to research and prioritises SEO keywords with AEO question queries, difficulty tiers, cannibalization checks…”
  • “/seo-aeo-keyword-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Extract Seed Keywords
  2. Expand Into Tiers
  3. Generate AEO Keywords
  4. Run Cannibalization Check
  5. Build Content Map

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 568d7a5. 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):

    • github.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 Aeo Keyword Research loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 559 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

SEO-AEO Keyword Research

Overview

Identifies high-value SEO keywords and AEO question-based queries for a topic. Produces keyword tiers (easy wins to long-term goals), search intent classification, cannibalization checks, and a content production map — all from a single topic input.

Part of the SEO-AEO Engine — an open-source AI-powered content growth system.

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when you need to build a keyword strategy for a new topic or niche
  • Use when you want to find AEO question queries for AI engine citation
  • Use when you need to prioritise which keywords to target first
  • Use when you want to check for keyword cannibalization before writing content

How It Works

Step 1: Extract Seed Keywords

Identify 3–5 core terms that anchor the topic's search territory. Go beyond the obvious head term to include adjacent terms the audience actually uses.

Step 2: Expand Into Tiers

Sort all keywords into three tiers:

  • Tier 1 — Low-to-moderate difficulty. Target first.
  • Tier 2 — Medium difficulty. Build toward after Tier 1 content is live.
  • Tier 3 — High difficulty. Long-term goals only.
Step 3: Generate AEO Keywords

Produce question-based keywords that AI engines surface in direct answers and People Also Ask boxes. For each AEO keyword, specify the answer format to use (definition sentence, numbered steps, comparison table, direct number).

Step 4: Run Cannibalization Check

Flag any two keywords similar enough to split traffic if targeted on separate pages. Recommend which page should own which term.

Step 5: Build Content Map

Recommend content type and production order for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 keywords.

Examples

Example 1: SaaS Product

Input: topic = "remote project management software" audience = "engineering managers and startup founders" goal = "convert" Output: Tier 1 Keywords:

"remote project management software" | Medium volume | Difficulty: 38 "project management tool remote teams" | Low volume | Difficulty: 29

AEO Keywords:

"What is the best project management software for remote teams?" → Answer format: Comparison table "How does remote project management work?" → Answer format: Numbered steps

Content Map:

Landing page → "remote project management software" Pillar blog → "complete guide to remote project management" Cluster article → "how to manage remote engineering teams"

Show full SKILL.md (212 more words)Show less
Example 2: Fintech App

Input: topic = "automated budgeting app" audience = "millennials managing personal finances" goal = "all" Output: Tier 1 Keywords:

"automated budgeting app" | Medium volume | Difficulty: 33 "automatic savings app" | Low volume | Difficulty: 24

AEO Keywords:

"What is the best budgeting app for millennials?" → Answer format: Comparison table "How does automated budgeting work?" → Answer format: Numbered steps

Best Practices

  • ✅ Do: Target Tier 1 keywords first — build authority before going after competitive terms
  • ✅ Do: Use AEO keywords in FAQ sections and definition blocks for AI engine citation
  • ✅ Do: Validate estimated volume and difficulty with a live tool (Ahrefs, SEMrush) before committing
  • ❌ Don't: Target two keywords on the same page if cannibalization is flagged
  • ❌ Don't: Use volume as the only prioritisation signal — difficulty and intent matter more

Common Pitfalls

  • Problem: High-volume keyword chosen but impossible to rank for early on Solution: Always cross-check volume with difficulty. Tier 1 should have difficulty under 45.

  • Problem: AEO keywords ignored in favour of traditional search terms Solution: AEO keywords drive AI engine citation — include at least 5 in every research run.

  • @seo-aeo-content-cluster — uses keyword research output to build topic cluster
  • @seo-aeo-landing-page-writer — consumes primary keyword to generate landing page
  • @seo-aeo-blog-writer — uses secondary keywords for cluster article targeting
