How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

GEO-SEO Update Skill

Purpose

Updates the locally installed GEO-SEO skills, agents, scripts, and schema templates to the latest version from the upstream repository. Shows a summary of what changed before and after the update.

---

Update Workflow

Step 1: Determine Installed Location

The GEO-SEO toolkit installs to these locations under `~/.claude/`:

| Component | Install Path | |-----------|-------------| | Main skill | `~/.claude/skills/geo/` | | Sub-skills | `~/.claude/skills/geo-*/` | | Agents | `~/.claude/agents/geo-*.md` | | Scripts | `~/.claude/skills/geo/scripts/` | | Schema templates | `~/.claude/skills/geo/schema/` | | Hooks | `~/.claude/skills/geo/hooks/` |

Verify the installation exists by checking for `~/.claude/skills/geo/SKILL.md`. If it does not exist, inform the user that GEO-SEO is not installed and suggest running the installer instead.

Step 2: Clone Latest from Upstream

TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude.git "$TEMP_DIR/repo"

If the clone fails, report the error and stop. Do not modify any installed files.

Step 3: Compare Installed vs Latest

Before copying files, generate a diff summary so the user knows what will change:

1. For each component directory, compare the installed files against the cloned files using `diff --recursive --brief`. 2. Categorise changes as:

  • **New files** — exist in upstream but not locally
  • **Modified files** — exist in both but differ
  • **Removed files** — exist locally but not in upstream (these are NOT deleted automatically)

3. Present the summary to the user.

Step 4: Apply Updates

Copy files from the cloned repo over the installed locations:

CLAUDE_DIR="${HOME}/.claude"
SOURCE_DIR="$TEMP_DIR/repo"

# Main skill
cp -r "$SOURCE_DIR/geo/"* "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/"

# Sub-skills
for skill_dir in "$SOURCE_DIR/skills"/*/; do
    skill_name=$(basename "$skill_dir")
    mkdir -p "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/${skill_name}"
    cp -r "$skill_dir"* "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/${skill_name}/"
done

# Agents
for agent_file in "$SOURCE_DIR/agents/"*.md; do
    cp "$agent_file" "$CLAUDE_DIR/agents/"
done

# Scripts
if [ -d "$SOURCE_DIR/scripts" ]; then
    cp -r "$SOURCE_DIR/scripts/"* "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/scripts/"
    chmod +x "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/scripts/"*.py 2>/dev/null || true
fi

# Schema templates
if [ -d "$SOURCE_DIR/schema" ]; then
    cp -r "$SOURCE_DIR/schema/"* "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/schema/"
fi

# Hooks
if [ -d "$SOURCE_DIR/hooks" ] && [ "$(ls -A "$SOURCE_DIR/hooks" 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
    mkdir -p "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/hooks"
    cp -r "$SOURCE_DIR/hooks/"* "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/hooks/"
    chmod +x "$CLAUDE_DIR/skills/geo/hooks/"* 2>/dev/null || true
fi

Step 5: Update Python Dependencies

If `requirements.txt` exists in the upstream repo and differs from the installed version:

python3 -m pip install -r "$SOURCE_DIR/requirements.txt" --quiet

Report any failures but do not treat them as fatal.

Step 6: Clean Up

rm -rf "$TEMP_DIR"

Step 7: Report Results

Present a summary:

GEO-SEO Update Complete
=======================
New files:      [count]
Modified files: [count]
Unchanged:      [count]
Removed upstream (kept locally): [count]

Dependencies: [updated / unchanged / failed]

If there were removed files upstream, list them and suggest the user review whether to delete them manually.

Important Notes

  • **Never delete locally installed files** that no longer exist upstream. The user may have customised them. List them and let the user decide.
  • **Never modify `~/.claude/settings.json` or `~/.claude/settings.local.json`** — these are user configuration files, not part of the GEO-SEO toolkit.
  • **If already up to date** (no diff), report that and skip the copy step.
  • **Restart notice:** Remind the user that skill changes take effect in new Claude Code sessions. They should restart their session to use the updated skills.
