# SEOAgent — install via npm (marketplace bootstrap)

This marketplace plugin does **not** embed the full SEOAgent protocols. Those are installed into the project when the user runs the **official CLI** from npm.

## What to tell the user

1. Open a terminal at the **repository root** (same directory as `package.json`).
2. Run:

```bash
npm install @seoagent-official/seoagent && npx @seoagent-official/seoagent init
```

3. **pnpm:** `pnpm add @seoagent-official/seoagent && pnpm exec seoagent init`
4. **Non-interactive / CI:** `npx @seoagent-official/seoagent init --yes --domain example.com`

`init` scans env files and `package.json`, asks for anything it cannot infer, then creates **`.seoagent/`** and copies the full skill to **`.claude/skills/seoagent/SKILL.md`** (or **`.agents/skills/seoagent/SKILL.md`** if `.agents` already exists).

## After install

The user should use the **project-local** SEOAgent skill (large `SKILL.md`) for audits, strategy, briefs, drafts, roadmap, and onboarding site context. Your job here is **onboarding only**: make sure they run the commands above and understand that **persistence lives in `.seoagent/`**.
