Which agent skills help you rank in Google and get cited by AI?
Reviewed . Scores and counts come from the directory snapshot of .
Short answer: seo from mblode/agent-skills (87/100) audits and fixes technical SEO, researches search demand and measures SEO, AEO and GEO performance, so it anchors the stack. Pair it with nextjs-developer from jeffallan/claude-skills (84/100) for the metadata and server rendering that decide what a crawler sees, and add-webmcp from browserbase/skills (83/100) to expose first-party WebMCP tools that agents can find and call. tool-design covers how to describe those tools so an agent actually uses them.
The stack
Four skills, in score order. This is a short stack on purpose: the measurement and the technical base come from skills, and the writing that earns a citation is still editorial work. Scores come from the directory snapshot of October 22, 2026, and install counts are the figures skills.sh published on November 2, 2026.
| Skill | Repository | Score | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| seo | mblode/agent-skills | 87/100 | Audits and fixes technical SEO, researches search demand, creates content briefs, and measures SEO, AEO and GEO performance. |
| tool-design | muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering | 86/100 | Guides the tool-interface layer of agent systems, including tool descriptions, schemas, response formats, error recovery messages and MCP server design. |
| nextjs-developer | jeffallan/claude-skills | 84/100 | Guides building Next.js 14+ applications with App Router, server components and server actions, including route handlers, middleware, streaming SSR, metadata and Vercel deployment. |
| add-webmcp | browserbase/skills | 83/100 | Analyzes an existing web application for safe user-visible capabilities, implements first-party WebMCP tools, and validates discovery and invocation with Stagehand. |
How to use it
- Run seo first and record a baseline: a technical audit, the search demand for the queries you care about, and your SEO, AEO and GEO performance. AEO and GEO are the numbers most SEO tooling still does not report, so write them down before you change anything.
- Fix the technical base with nextjs-developer if you are on Next.js 14 or later. It covers App Router, server components, route handlers, middleware, streaming SSR and metadata. A page that renders its content on the server, with correct metadata, is a page a crawler can read in full.
- Write for the answer, not the keyword. No skill in this stack does this for you. Put the direct answer in the first paragraph, use question headings, state specific facts with sources, and use one consistent name for your company and product everywhere it appears. That is my reading of what gets lifted into an AI answer, and it is also plain good writing.
- Use add-webmcp to analyze the application for safe, user-visible capabilities, implement first-party WebMCP tools, and validate discovery and invocation with Stagehand. Ranking gets you read by a crawler; this gets you used by an agent.
- Bring in tool-design when you write those tools. It covers tool descriptions, schemas, response formats and error recovery messages. A tool an agent cannot understand is a tool it will not call.
- Re-run seo on a schedule and compare the AEO and GEO figures against the baseline from step 1. A change without a baseline is an anecdote.

What to check before you install
- Licenses: all four are MIT. Confirm the license file in each repository anyway; a directory field is a record, not a legal review.
- Services: seo names no outside service in its summary, so check its SKILL.md for any data source it expects. add-webmcp validates with Stagehand, so expect to set that up. nextjs-developer mentions Vercel deployment, which only matters if that is where you host.
- Read each SKILL.md before you enable it, and read what it sends to outside services with your credentials. The directory has not security scanned any skill.
FAQ
Why is this stack so small?
Because four skills cover the measurable parts of the job and the rest is writing. The directory lists more SEO skills in its Marketing and SEO category, including audit, schema and content-brief skills, and I would add them once the baseline and the technical base are in place. Stacking ten SEO skills before you have a measurement is how a team ends up busy and unranked.
Do these skills work in Codex and Cursor?
Yes. All four use the Agent Skills format, so the same folder works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and any other agent that reads a SKILL.md. The skills CLI installs for each of them, and every skill page in the directory shows the commands.
How do these skills earn citations in AI answers?
seo measures AEO and GEO performance, so you can measure whether you are being cited. Citations follow the page: a clean answer, specific facts, a consistent name, and a site that renders completely. Measure, fix, write, measure again.
