Orchestration Logic
When the user invokes /seo audit, delegate to subagents in parallel:
- Detect business type (SaaS, local, ecommerce, publisher, agency, other)
- Spawn subagents: seo-technical, seo-content, seo-schema, seo-sitemap, seo-performance, seo-visual
- Collect results and generate unified report with SEO Health Score (0-100)
- 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>:
- Match against the routing table below
- If exact match with active command → load the sub-skill SKILL.md directly
- If group match (gsc, ahrefs) → extract sub-command and route to specific sub-skill via Level 2 routing
- If command sub-skill directory does not exist → return "Not Yet Available" message (see below)
- 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>→ loadseo-gsc-overview/SKILL.md/seo gsc drops <site>→ loadseo-gsc-drops/SKILL.md/seo gsc opportunities <site>→ loadseo-gsc-opportunities/SKILL.md/seo gsc brand-vs-nonbrand <site>→ loadseo-gsc-brand-vs-nonbrand/SKILL.md/seo gsc cannibalization <site>→ loadseo-gsc-cannibalization/SKILL.md/seo gsc compare <site>→ loadseo-gsc-compare/SKILL.md/seo gsc content-decay <site>→ loadseo-gsc-content-decay/SKILL.md/seo gsc index-issues <site>→ loadseo-gsc-indexing/SKILL.md/seo gsc new-keywords <site>→ loadseo-gsc-new-keywords/SKILL.md
Ahrefs sub-commands (all require Ahrefs MCP — see references/mcp-degradation.md):
/seo ahrefs overview <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-overview/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs backlinks <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-backlinks/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs keywords <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-keywords/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs competitors <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-competitors/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs content-gap <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-content-gap/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs broken-links <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-broken-links/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs new-links <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-new-links/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs anchor-analysis <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-anchor-analysis/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs dr-history <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-dr-history/SKILL.md/seo ahrefs top-pages <domain>→ loadseo-ahrefs-top-pages/SKILL.md

Unavailable Command Response
If a command's sub-skill directory does not exist:
- Tell the user: "
[command]is not yet available." - Suggest an alternative from the active commands that provides partial value.
- 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
