- SKILL.md covers Phase 0: Credential Preflight…, Run (parallel), Output: side-by-side table and SERP overlap section, plus 1 more section
- Needs DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD
What it does
A preflight script runs first. If DataForSEO credentials are missing, the agent shows the setup wizard, waits for you to paste your login and API password, stores them in a local .env file with restricted permissions, and verifies them with a test call, without echoing them back. Handling of a pending account verification and of wrong-password errors is spelled out.
The comparison itself runs domain overview and backlink summary scripts for each domain plus a keyword intersection call, in parallel, at roughly five cents per comparison. Output is a side-by-side table with a winner column, a SERP overlap section giving shared keywords and where each domain wins, and a short verdict of three to four sentences on which domain is stronger and why.
When your agent uses it
- Benchmarking your domain against a competitor's
- Finding how much keyword overlap two sites share
- Comparing backlink profiles and referring domains of two sites
Example prompts
- “Compare example.com and rival.com on traffic, backlinks and shared keywords.”
- “Which of these two domains has the stronger SEO position, and where do they overlap?”
Requirements
- DataForSEO API login and API password
- The shared seo skill scripts, including preflight.sh
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Write
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse login: and password: from their message.

- chmod 600 ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 67ac4f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashWrite
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 bash).
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):
dataforseo.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
SEO Domain Comparison loads about 892 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:29
2. Write them to `~/.claude/skills/seo/.env`: - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:34
3. `chmod 600 ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env` - NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)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.

Phase 0: Credential Preflight (REQUIRED — run BEFORE anything else)
Before running any of the steps below, always invoke the shared preflight check:
~/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/preflight.shIf exit code is 0: credentials are configured — proceed with the rest of this skill silently.
If exit code is 2: the script prints the DataForSEO setup wizard to stdout. STOP, display that wizard to the user verbatim, and wait for them to paste credentials in this format:
login: their_email@example.com
password: their_api_password_hereWhen they reply:
- Parse
login:andpassword:from their message. - Write them to
~/.claude/skills/seo/.env:DATAFORSEO_LOGIN=<login> DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD=<password> chmod 600 ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env- Run a verification call:
~/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/keyword_research.py volume "test" - If verification succeeds (real JSON returned): tell the user "✅ Credentials verified. Running your command now..." and proceed with the original request.
- If status
40104 — Please verify your account: tell the user to verify their account at https://app.dataforseo.com/, then say "continue" to retry. - If any other auth error: ask them to double-check the API password (the long alphanumeric string from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access — not their account login password).
Never echo credentials back to the user, never include them in tool output, and never commit them.
