Tools: We Searched the Agent Skills Ecosystem for SEO

The Gap Was Bigger Than SEO ## Why This Matters ## What We Built ## One Skill, Bigger Pattern We expected to find one. The Agent Skills ecosystem has skills for planning, critique, code review, testing, frontend design. Someone must have built the basics — crawlability, meta tags, structured data. We searched every repository we could find, starting with the official catalog and working outward: We tried every keyword we could think of: SEO, technical SEO, sitemap, robots, canonical, JSON-LD, structured data. Zero results. Not "a few weak matches." Zero SKILL.md files. Zero coverage. That search was part of a larger audit. We needed skills for six web ops disciplines — content strategy, UX evaluation, CSS architecture, technical storytelling, SEO, and accessibility testing. We ran the same catalog search for each. Six disciplines. All six: build from scratch. The ecosystem is engineering-workflow heavy with virtually no web ops coverage. SEO was just the cleanest zero. Our agents build web pages. They write HTML, scaffold components, generate sitemaps. Without an SEO skill in the loop, those pages ship without discoverability checks. No canonical URL validation. No structured data. No robots.txt guidance. No performance baselines. A page can be valid HTML, pass accessibility checks, render correctly in every browser, and still never appear in a search result. That's not a bug anyone catches in code review. Ari authored technical-seo-patterns — the first SEO skill in the ecosystem. It covers the technical baseline a shipping team needs: It's not a keyword playbook. It's the set of checks that prevent a published page from being invisible by default. The SEO gap was the sharpest signal, but the real finding is structural. The Agent Skills ecosystem was built by engineers for engineering problems. Content strategy, UX evaluation, CSS architecture, storytelling, accessibility — none of these have meaningful skill coverage. We built the SEO skill because we needed it. The other five gaps are still open. The skills are open source: github.com/HakAl/team_skills Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.
