Skills & plugin

One-step Claude Code setup, and standalone Agent Skills that work anywhere.

crawlie ships ready-made Agent Skills and a Claude Code plugin so an agent doesn’t just have the tools — it knows how to run a real audit.

One-step: the Claude Code plugin

The fastest path. The plugin bundles the MCP server and the audit skills in one install. The MCP server auto-runs via npx, so you don’t even need crawlie pre-installed.

claude plugin marketplace add spronta/crawlie
claude plugin install crawlie@spronta

MCP servers load at client startup, so the crawlie tools become available the next time you start Claude.

Skills (work with any agent)

The skills are self-contained: they need neither the repo nor a pre-installed crawlie. If the binary is missing, the skill runs it on demand via npx -y -p crawlie — and automatically prefers the MCP tools when they’re present.

SkillUse it to…
seo-site-auditRun a full technical-SEO + GEO audit and get a prioritized fix list.
fix-broken-linksFind broken links, dead pages, and redirect chains, grouped by source.
pre-launch-seo-checkGate a launch/deploy on a clear SEO pass/fail (and wire it into CI).
geo-ai-readinessAssess and improve how citable a site is by AI search / LLMs.

Install a skill manually

Each skill is a portable folder (a SKILL.md plus any bundled files). Drop it into your skills directory:

# user-level (all projects)
cp -R skills/seo-site-audit ~/.claude/skills/

# or project-level
mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -R skills/seo-site-audit .claude/skills/

How a skill picks its surface

In order:

  1. crawlie MCP tools (mcp__crawlie__*) if present this session — fastest, structured.
  2. crawlie CLI if it’s already on PATH.
  3. npx -y crawlie … — on-demand; the install is the run.

So the skills work on a machine with nothing installed, and quietly upgrade to the MCP when it’s wired up.
