What are skills?

Skills are self-contained guides your agent loads so it knows which APIs to call, in what order, and which human gates it must never bypass. Install the skill that matches the job; then connect MCP (or call REST) with an account key (aeo_sk_) or a workspace handoff token (aeo_ho_).

Which skill when?

No key yet — free audit → aeoforge-free-audit (or paste the prompt from /for-agents)
Paid Fix Programme → aeoforge-fix + handoff token from the room's Connect your agent tab
Ongoing retainer / account key → aeoforge-selfserve — bootstrap and follow next_task
Repo AI-readiness → aeoforge-ai-ready
Articles / audits / authority → content-creation, audit-refresh, authority, or agency-workflow

Live catalog and credit costs: GET /api/v1/onboard. Packages: /pricing.

Available Skills

All skills are served from https://aeoforged.com/skills/<slug>/SKILL.md. Self-serve, Fix, and Authority stubs keep proprietary loops in authenticated task packs — the public file is the entry point only.

Free Audit

Agent-owned signup from URL + email. The platform queues Layer 1. Stop at the locked report. No payment, no fixes.

Download SKILL.md

Self-Serve

Ongoing work with an account key (aeo_sk_) or handoff token. Bootstrap, follow next_task, fetch authenticated task packs. Article loops, authority, visibility, and retainer deliverables.

Download SKILL.md

Fix Programme

Apply Fix Programme work from a room handoff token. Follow next_task / fix_programme_contract; never set status verified yourself — only verify-page may.

Download SKILL.md

Content Creation

Full 30-tool reference: consolidated verbs (create, improve, package, diagnose), research → score loops, credit costs, and common mistakes.

Download SKILL.md

Audit & Refresh

Evaluate and update existing pages — site diagnose, single-URL audit, head-to-head compare (including API fields like marginOfVictory), and freshness plans.

Download SKILL.md

Authority

Entry stub for authority and machine-access work. Bootstrap, follow next_task, fetch authority_baseline / authority_distribution / machine_access packs.

Download SKILL.md

AI-Ready

Make a site AI-readable and agent-operable from the repo: diagnose → fix in code → llms.txt / JSON-LD → re-verify. Optional grounded content and distribution kits.

Download SKILL.md

Agency Workflow

Repeatable article production for agency clients: load client profile, research, draft in the IDE, score to 80+, schema, verify. Craft over score on live pages.

MCP Configuration Files

Point your agent at https://aeoforged.com/api/mcp/mcp with a Bearer account key. Use the Cursor config for .cursor/mcp.json and the Claude Code config for ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json. Handoff tokens work the same way — paste aeo_ho_… instead of aeo_sk_….

Cursor MCP Config

Drop into .cursor/mcp.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aeoforge": {
      "url": "https://aeoforged.com/api/mcp/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer aeo_sk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code MCP Config

Add to ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json.

}

Download Config

Using VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, or another client? Their config shapes differ, and the wrong one can load nothing without showing an error — see every editor's exact config.
