When the user wants to research keywords, find target keywords, or analyze search intent. Also use when the user mentions "keyword research," "keyword tool," "target keywords," "search volume," "search intent," "keyword difficulty," "topical map," "keyword clustering," "People Also Ask," "Google autocomplete," "autocomplete keywords," or "alphabet method." For clusters, use content-strategy.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SEO Content: Keyword Research

Guides keyword research for SEO: finding target keywords, assessing difficulty, understanding search intent, and building topical maps. ~95% of keywords get fewer than 10 searches/month; low-volume, high-intent terms often yield faster rankings and conversion.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Initial Assessment

**Project context:** Read root `contextus.md` when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify:
1. **Product/service**: What you offer
2. **Audience**: Who searches for it
3. **Goals**: Traffic, conversions, brand
4. **Tool access**: Google Keyword Planner, Google Trends, or SEO tools

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kostja94/marketing-skills/keyword-research@sha256:fbcfa8c05d1b3668

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
