This keyword research skill lives inside the AI assistant you already use. Instead of guessing, you give it a few seed terms or services and a region, and it comes back with a clean, ranked keyword research table: real monthly search volume, keyword difficulty and competition, long tail keywords, a 12 month trend line, and a search intent score that separates buyer terms from informational ones. It reads from a single SKILL.md file, so there is nothing to install, no account to create, and no dashboard to learn. The result is an SEO keyword research workflow you can run in minutes, with volume numbers that come from real data rather than made up estimates.

What you gain
  • Get real monthly search volume for every term instead of guesswork, so you know which keywords actually get searched
  • See buyer intent at a glance with a simple score that separates high intent commercial terms from informational blog topics
  • Find long tail keywords and low competition opportunities you can realistically rank for
  • Spot seasonality with a 12 month trend and peak month, so you publish before demand climbs
  • Turn a short list of services into a full keyword map grouped by theme, ready for pages and blog posts
  • Work entirely inside the AI assistant you already use, with no new tool to learn
How it works, step by step
  • 1
    Drop the skill into your assistant

    Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Nothing to install, no account, and no API key to run it.

  • 2
    Give it your seeds and region

    Tell it a few services or seed terms and the region you serve, for example three to ten terms plus a city or country. If anything is missing, it asks you first before running.

  • 3
    It expands and pulls real volume

    The skill widens your seeds with real autocomplete suggestions, then pulls real monthly search volume, competition, and top of page cost for each term.

  • 4
    It scores intent and trend

    Every keyword gets a 12 month trend with a peak month and an intent score, so high intent buyer terms, mid intent terms, informational topics, and long tail are clearly separated.

  • 5
    It curates the list

    Duplicates are trimmed, terms are grouped by theme or service, and the highest intent keywords with real volume are pushed to the top.

  • 6
    You get a clean, ranked table

    You receive a ready to use keyword research table with the priority terms to target on service pages and the informational terms that make good blog posts, plus seasonality notes.

What it generates
  • A ranked keyword research table with keyword, monthly search volume, competition, top of page cost, trend, and intent score
  • A shortlist of high intent, buyer ready keywords to target on your money pages
  • A set of long tail and low competition opportunities worth pursuing
  • A list of informational topics mapped to blog and content ideas
  • Seasonality notes with the peak month for key terms
  • An optional saved document you can export or reuse

FAQ
What is the Keyword Research skill?

It is a SKILL.md file you add to your AI assistant. You give it seed terms and a region, and it returns a ranked keyword list with real monthly search volume, competition, long tail keywords, a 12 month trend, and a buyer intent score, all in one table.

Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?

Yes. It works with any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. The flow is the same across all of them.

Do I need to install anything or pay for a subscription?

No. There is no separate app, no subscription, and no API key needed to run it. You drop the file into your assistant and it runs there.

Where does the search volume come from, and is it real?

The volume comes from real search data, not invented numbers. Every term is marked as real data or clearly flagged when a number can only be estimated, so you always know what you are looking at.

How is buyer intent different from just volume?

Volume tells you how many people search a term. The intent score tells you why they search it, separating high intent commercial keywords from informational topics, so you know which terms drive customers and which drive readers.

Do I need SEO or coding skills to use it?

No. You describe your services and region in plain language, and the skill handles the expansion, volume, trend, and intent scoring, then hands you a clean table you can act on right away.

New to AI skills?

An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Keyword Research is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.

It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, keyword research asks you for it first instead of inventing.

Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.

How to install and run it
  1. Download the file after checkout you get the SKILL.md plus a short README and your license.
  2. Add it to your AI drop SKILL.md into your skills folder (for example .claude/skills/) or paste its contents as a custom instruction.
  3. Run it ask your AI to use Keyword Research, give it what it asks for, and it does the work.
