Orchestration Logic

When the user invokes

/seo audit
, delegate to subagents in parallel:

  1. Detect business type (SaaS, local, ecommerce, publisher, agency, other)
  2. Spawn subagents: seo-technical, seo-content, seo-schema, seo-sitemap, seo-performance, seo-visual
  3. Collect results and generate unified report with SEO Health Score (0-100)
  4. Create prioritized action plan (Critical → High → Medium → Low)

For individual commands, load the relevant sub-skill directly.

Logic ownership: All command logic lives in each sub-skill's SKILL.md (not in agent files). Agents are only used for parallel audit work within

/seo audit
.

Command Routing

Level 1: Command Group Detection

When the user invokes

/seo <command>
:

  1. Match against the routing table below
  2. If exact match with active command → load the sub-skill SKILL.md directly
  3. If group match (gsc, ahrefs) → extract sub-command and route to specific sub-skill via Level 2 routing
  4. If command sub-skill directory does not exist → return "Not Yet Available" message (see below)
  5. If no match → suggest the closest command from the Quick Reference table

Level 2: Sub-command Routing

For grouped commands, extract the sub-command and route to the specific sub-skill:

GSC sub-commands (all require GSC MCP — see

references/mcp-degradation.md
):

  • /seo gsc overview <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-overview/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc drops <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-drops/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc opportunities <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-opportunities/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc brand-vs-nonbrand <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-brand-vs-nonbrand/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc cannibalization <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-cannibalization/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc compare <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-compare/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc content-decay <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-content-decay/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc index-issues <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-indexing/SKILL.md
  • /seo gsc new-keywords <site>
    → load
    seo-gsc-new-keywords/SKILL.md

Ahrefs sub-commands (all require Ahrefs MCP — see

references/mcp-degradation.md
):

  • /seo ahrefs overview <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-overview/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs backlinks <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-backlinks/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs keywords <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-keywords/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs competitors <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-competitors/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs content-gap <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-content-gap/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs broken-links <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-broken-links/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs new-links <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-new-links/SKILL.md
  • /seo ahrefs anchor-analysis <domain>
    → load
    seo-ahrefs-anchor-analysis/SKILL.md

Unavailable Command Response

If a command's sub-skill directory does not exist:

  1. Tell the user: "
    [command]
    is not yet available."
  2. Suggest an alternative from the active commands that provides partial value.
  3. Do NOT attempt to fabricate the functionality inline.

Example response for unavailable command (Phase 4 and beyond):

/seo [command] is not yet available.

While waiting, you can use:
- `/seo audit <url>` — full site audit using available static analysis
- `/seo site-audit-pro <domain>` — comprehensive multi-MCP audit with live Ahrefs and GSC data

Industry Detection

Detect business type from homepage signals:

  • SaaS: pricing page, /features, /integrations, /docs, "free trial", "sign up"
  • Local Service: phone number, address, service area, "serving [city]", Google Maps embed
  • E-commerce: /products, /collections, /cart, "add to cart", product schema
  • Publisher: /blog, /articles, /topics, article schema, author pages, publication dates
  • Agency: /case-studies, /portfolio, /industries, "our work", client logos

Quality Gates

Read

references/quality-gates.md
for thin content thresholds per page type. Hard rules:

  • WARNING at 30+ location pages (enforce 60%+ unique content)
  • HARD STOP at 50+ location pages (require user justification)
  • Never recommend HowTo schema (deprecated Sept 2023)
  • FAQ schema only for government and healthcare sites
  • All Core Web Vitals references use INP, never FID
