Its SKILL.md is about 5.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 94 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `.mcp.json` and `CHANGELOG.md`). Compatibility notes: Run npm install --omit=dev in this directory, then node cli.js. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run cli.js for build-it-yourself /…

When your agent uses it

The user wants SEO
Even if they dont name DataForSEO

Example prompts

“/dataforseo”

Requirements

Node.js
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e48d26f. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (TypeScript and JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
- npx
- git
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:
- api.dataforseo.com
Also links to:
- docs.dataforseo.com
- agentskills.io
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.
Compatibility
Run `npm install --omit=dev` in this directory, then `node cli.js`. The TypeScript source needs Node.js 22.18+; on older Node, run `cli.js` for build-it-yourself / prebuilt / alternative-runtime options.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Dataforseo loads about 5.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~15k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,621 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~5.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~15k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Elastic-2.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,621 words (~5,329 tokens).

“Agent-callable tools for the DataForSEO API v3 (https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/): search-engine, SEO, and AI-search data. Look up Google organic SERPs; research keywords (suggestions, related terms, search volume, difficulty, intent); analyze domains (ranking keywords, rank overview, organic-traffic estimates); inspect backlink profiles; search Google…”
