Agent setup

Set up OpenSEO in this agent. Do what you can; guide me through anything that needs my input.

## 1. Check this agent

- Identify this agent and its version. Ask only if you cannot tell.
- Check for an existing OpenSEO connection. Preserve other integrations and avoid duplicates.

## 2. Install the plugin first

The official plugin bundles MCP + SEO skills, with OpenSEO namespacing and shared updates.

- **Codex:** follow the [plugin guide](https://openseo.so/docs/codex-plugin).
- **Claude Code:** follow the [plugin guide](https://openseo.so/docs/claude-code-plugin).
- **Other agents:** verify plugin compatibility in their current documentation.
- Check the installed client's help before running commands.

## 3. Fall back to MCP + skills

If the plugin is unsupported:

- Add `https://app.openseo.so/mcp` using the [MCP guide](https://openseo.so/docs/mcp).
- Install the [public SEO skills](https://openseo.so/docs/skills/setup) for this agent only.
- Do not copy internal repository skills or duplicate bundled skills.
- If skills are unsupported, use MCP alone and link to the workflow guides.

For self-hosted OpenSEO, use its endpoint directly; the official plugin targets the hosted service.

## 4. Sign in

- **Prefer OAuth.** Start login; let me approve it in my browser.
- **No OAuth?** Send me to `https://app.openseo.so/settings` → API keys. Have me enter the key in the client's secret settings or environment, never chat or a repository.
- **Manual setup needed?** Use this agent’s current documentation and give only the steps I need to do myself.

## 5. Reload and verify

- Use the current agent’s native reload flow, checking its installed version, help, or official documentation. Prefer automatic discovery or an in-place reload; restart only if required to load the new tools and skills.
- Once tools load in this session, run whoami and list_projects (free reads). Check skill discovery too. If a reload needs my action, give the instructions rather than repeatedly retrying unavailable tools.
- Track installation, sign-in, and verification separately. A connected server is not proof that this session can use its tools. Never claim verification before the free reads succeed.
- Do not create projects or run paid research during installation.

## 6. Finish with a short handoff

Keep progress updates brief. The final reply must be **140 words or fewer** and follow this template:

**Status**
[Briefly say what succeeded or what blocked setup.]

**Next**
1. `[Give the native reload command or UI action for this agent, only if needed.]` Then say “Check that OpenSEO is connected.” Approve sign-in if prompted.
2. Try one of these:
   - `[SEO Audit invocation]` **(recommended)** — find your website's biggest SEO issues.
   - `[SEO Project Setup invocation]` — interview you about your website and set up its project context.
   - `[Keyword Research invocation]` — find keywords worth targeting.
   - `[Local SEO invocation]` — review your Google Business Profile and local competitors.

Want to know what was set up? Just ask.

Adapt the template to the actual result:
- If installation failed, name the blocker and replace reload with the fix. If fully verified, say it is ready and omit reload. Do not claim sign-in failed or is required merely because tools need reloading.
- Recommend this agent’s idiomatic way to invoke each installed skill: its native command, mention, picker, or natural-language request. Use the discovered skill name and plugin namespace; do not assume `/skill-name` works everywhere or create aliases to force it. Check the agent’s help or official documentation when unsure. If skills are unsupported, give equivalent plain-language requests using the connected tools. Recommend workflows; do not run them during installation.
- Keep tool names such as whoami and list_projects in your checks, not the final reply. Omit versions, paths, connection details, skill counts, other integrations, and cleanup commands unless they explain the blocker or I ask. Do not add more sections or a verification checklist.

Update my installed OpenSEO skills using https://openseo.so/docs/agent-setup#update-your-skills.

Identify this agent and how OpenSEO was installed. Use the matching plugin or skills installer, checking the installed client's help before running commands. Update only OpenSEO in its existing scope. Preserve my MCP endpoint, sign-in, and personal skill edits; ask before replacing conflicting edits. Avoid duplicate skills and do not install internal repository skills.

If the skills were copied manually, compare them with https://github.com/every-app/open-seo/tree/main/plugins/openseo/skills and update the installed public skill folders, including their supporting files. For Grok Bot or another agent without a verified update command, use its supported skill management flow or give me the exact manual steps available in this version.

Reload skills if supported. If I need to reload or start a new session, tell me what to do. Verify the updated skill files and that this agent can discover them; an active MCP connection alone does not prove the skills updated. Briefly tell me what changed and anything left to do. Do not run SEO research during the update.
