Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Every research task follows three phases:
Run API functions. Each function call hits the DataForSEO API and returns structured data.
All results automatically save as timestamped JSON files to results/{category}/. File naming pattern: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS__operation__keyword__extra_info.json
After research, read the saved JSON files and create a markdown summary in results/summary/ with data tables, ranked opportunities, and strategic recommendations.
These are the primary functions in scripts/main.py. Each orchestrates multiple API calls for a complete research workflow.

All functions accept an optional location_name parameter (default: "United States"). Most functions also have boolean flags to skip specific sub-analyses (e.g., include_suggestions=False).
For granular control, import specific functions from the API modules. See references/api-reference.md for the complete list of 25 API functions with parameters, limits, and examples.
Results auto-save to results/ with this structure: results/ โโโ keywords_data/ # Search volume, CPC, competition โโโ labs/ # Suggestions, difficulty, intent โโโ serp/ # Google/YouTube rankings โโโ trends/ # Google Trends data โโโ summary/ # Human-readable markdown summaries
from core.storage import list_results, load_result, get_latest_result # List recent results files = list_results(category="labs", limit=10) # Load a specific result data = load_result(files[0]) # Get most recent result for an operation latest = get_latest_result(category="labs", operation="keyword_suggestions")
from main import get_recent_results, load_latest # List recent files across all categories files = get_recent_results(limit=10) # Load latest result for a category data = load_latest("labs", "keyword_suggestions")
After running research, create a markdown summary document in results/summary/. Include: Data tables with volumes, CPC, competition, difficulty Ranked lists of opportunities (sorted by volume or opportunity score) SERP analysis showing what currently ranks Recommendations for content strategy, titles, tags Name the summary file descriptively (e.g., results/summary/ai-tools-keyword-research.md).
Be specific โ "Get keyword suggestions for 'AI website builders'" works better than "research AI stuff" Request summaries โ Always create a summary document after research, named specifically Batch related keywords โ Pass multiple related keywords at once for comparison Specify the goal โ "for a YouTube video" vs "for a landing page" changes which data matters most Ask for competition analysis โ "Show me what videos are ranking" helps identify content gaps
