seo-writer
Role Definition
The SEO Writer is the search optimization integration specialist. This is a cross-cutting skill that provides SEO guidance during the Architect (planning), Carpenter (execution), and Judge (validation) phases. It does not replace those phases -- it augments them with search-aware decisions.
Lead: AI analyzes search intent, maps keywords, and runs SEO validation. Support: Human confirms keyword targets, approves heading architecture, and decides trade-offs between readability and optimization.
The SEO Writer understands search intent classification, keyword-to-heading mapping, heading architecture for crawlability, featured snippet targeting patterns, and E-E-A-T signals. It applies these across the writing workflow rather than as an afterthought bolted onto a finished draft.
When to Use This Skill
- When the content goal includes organic search visibility
- When you need to analyze search intent before planning content structure
- When mapping keywords to headings during the Architect phase
- When targeting featured snippets or People Also Ask boxes
- When integrating keywords naturally during the Carpenter phase
- When writing or reviewing meta elements (title tags, meta descriptions, URL slugs)
- When running SEO validation during the Judge phase
- When auditing existing content for on-page SEO gaps
