SEO keyword difficulty assessment and competitor analysis Skill. Given a target keyword, automatically queries search volume, difficulty score, Top-10 competitor page TDK, Google Trends data, and outputs a comprehensive recommendation report to decide which keywords to target for traffic. Trigger words: keyword difficulty, keyword research, SEO keyword analysis, keyword selection, KD analysis, competitor TDK. This Skill applies to all SEO content projects, not limited to any specific website.

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 Keyword Difficulty & Competitor Analysis

Given a target keyword (or a list of candidates), this Skill runs an automated research pipeline that produces a **Keyword Decision Report**: search volume, difficulty score, Top-10 competitor TDK breakdown, trend direction, and a final recommendation on whether to write for this keyword or pivot to a better variant.

**This is Step 0 of the SEO automation pipeline** — before any page or blog content is written, you must know whether the keyword is worth targeting.

---

## MCP Dependency

- Parameters: `{keyword: string (required), gl: string (optional, default "us"), hl: string (optional, default "en"), force: string (optional, "1" to skip cache)}`
- Returns: score, level, keywordType, keywordVolume, keywordTrend, linkBudget, details (Top-10), reasons
- Rate limit: 10 calls/minute, ≥6 second interval between calls

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add notegpt-official/notegpt-skills/seo-keyword-difficulty@sha256:19b3c0a30eb3345e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260723.0738ce2, 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.
