WordPress SEO and GEO skills

Eight agent skills for the part of WordPress the official skills do not cover: search, and the answer engines that are replacing it. Free, GPL-2.0-or-later, no account, no API key for six of the eight.

WordPress/agent-skills ships block development, themes, the REST API, WP-CLI and the Abilities API. It covers no SEO at all. This is the layer on top.

Which skill do I need?

Find your question on the left. Nothing here needs our plugin.

Your question The skill What you provide First report
Did ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity actually crawl my site, and were some of those hits faked? ai-bot-log-forensics Raw access logs, 30 days if you have them 10 min
Why does a model never quote this page? ai-citability-audit One public URL 2 min
Which AI crawlers should I allow, and what should my robots.txt and llms.txt say? llmstxt-governance One public URL 5 min
How often do the answer engines name my brand, and who do they cite instead? ai-visibility-tracker A manual survey, your own API keys, a tracker export, or AVA 20 min
What is my 90 day plan to get mentioned? geo-strategy-map A manual survey across 3 engines, about half a day half a day
We are redesigning. How do I not lose the traffic? seo-migration-redirects Old sitemap or Search Console export, plus the staging sitemap 30 min
Which SEO plugin runs on this client site, and can I change metadata through the API? wp-seo-plugin-driver A URL, then an application password to write 10 min
I need the monthly client report, with proof that our work moved something seo-portfolio-report Search Console, read live or as CSV exports 30 min

How do I install them?

Pick one, they all end in the same place.

npx skills add hacktheseo/wordpress-seo-skills
git clone https://github.com/hacktheseo/wordpress-seo-skills.git
cp -r wordpress-seo-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

Each skill carries its own report engine, so copying a single folder works. Copy one or all eight.

Do I need the Hack The SEO plugin?

No. Every skill runs on any WordPress site without it, and three of them do more when it is installed, because some data cannot be seen from outside: server side AI crawler hits, a GEO score computed on the server, keyword cannibalization, the 404 log and the redirect rules, and a Markdown version of each page.

Do I need an API key?

Six of the eight need none. Two can use credentials:

  • ai-visibility-tracker reads OPENAI_API_KEY, PERPLEXITY_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY if you set them, and works without any of them from a survey you did by hand.
  • wp-seo-plugin-driver reads WP_SITE, WP_USER and WP_APP_PASSWORD, and only to write. Detection and the audit need nothing.

Both read them from the environment. Neither writes a credential to a file.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. The scripts run on your machine, write to your disk, and call no service of ours. There is no account, no telemetry, and no credit card. Server logs and Search Console exports are client data, so rendered reports are excluded from the repository by .gitignore.

Does it work in French?

Yes. Every skill writes the deliverable in the language you used, French included, labels and all. The repository README carries a French half.

Which AI crawlers are covered?

ai-bot-log-forensics verifies hits by reverse then forward DNS, so a forged user agent never lands in a client report. llmstxt-governance reads the access rules for 22 AI user agents, grouped by what they are for: training, live answering, and indexing. Those three purposes are different questions, and one blanket rule answers them badly.

Does this need Claude Code?

The skills follow the Agent Skills format and ship plain Python 3 scripts with no dependencies. Any agent that can read a SKILL.md and run a script can use them.

What does a report look like?

One HTML file, no external assets, readable in light and dark, prints to PDF. The repository ships a rendered example in examples/, with the findings file that produced it, so you can render it yourself before installing anything.
