Set up SearchCrew Agent Skills

Add SearchCrew skill files to your AI agent after connecting SearchCrew MCP.

SearchCrew Agent Skills are separate files from SearchCrew MCP.

On Claude Code, skip the steps below and use the SearchCrew plugin instead — it installs MCP and every skill in one step. On Codex CLI, use the SearchCrew plugin the same way.

First, set up SearchCrew MCP. MCP gives your agent access to SearchCrew data.

Then add the SearchCrew SKILL.md files you want your agent to use. Each skill gives your agent one SEO workflow.

Choose an installation option

Pick the option that matches how you want to install the files.

Option 1: Install and choose interactively

Use this if you want the installer to show the available skills and agents.

npx skills add every-app/open-seo

Option 2: Install all SearchCrew skills

Use this if you want every SearchCrew skill.

npx skills add every-app/open-seo --skill '*'

Option 3: Install all skills for Claude Code only

Use this if the skills should be available in Claude Code only.

npx skills add every-app/open-seo --skill '*' --agent claude-code

Option 4: Install all skills for OpenAI Codex only

Use this if the skills should be available in Codex only.

npx skills add every-app/open-seo --skill '*' --agent codex

Option 5: Copy the skill files manually

Use this if you prefer to copy files into your agent's skills folder.

git clone https://github.com/every-app/open-seo.git

# Codex
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -R searchcrew/.agents/skills/* ~/.codex/skills/

# Claude Code
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R searchcrew/.agents/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/

You can also review the source skills on GitHub:

Each skill page also links to its source SKILL.md.

Run a skill

After the skill files are available to your agent, run the matching slash command:

  • /seo-project-setup
  • /seo-coach
  • /keyword-research
  • /keyword-clustering
  • /competitive-landscape
  • /competitor-analysis
  • /link-prospecting
  • /local-seo
  • /seo-audit

Next step

Start with SEO Project Setup if this is a new SEO project, or SEO Coach if you are not sure which workflow to run first.
