## Skills

- [Ahrefs connector essentials](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ahrefs/skills/essentials.md): Connects your Ahrefs account to your AI assistant so it can query keywords, brand visibility, projects and crawler data. It confirms your workspace, country and plan first, and it does not change anything in your account without your approval.
- [Audit your brand's visibility in AI answers with Ahrefs](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ahrefs/skills/brand-visibility-audit.md): Checks how your brand is named, cited and described in AI-generated answers using Ahrefs Brand Radar, and shows whether share of voice is rising or falling against competitors. It reads the data and does not change any tracking setup without asking first.
- [Check that Ahrefs crawling is not blocked](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ahrefs/skills/crawler-access-check.md): Checks whether Ahrefs' published crawler IPs and ranges are admitted by your firewall, WAF, bot management or robots.txt rules. It drafts the allowlist and asks before any rule is changed.
- [Keyword research brief with Ahrefs](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ahrefs/skills/keyword-research-brief.md): Turns a seed topic or product into a prioritised keyword set grouped into clusters, each with search intent and volume guidance, using Ahrefs Keywords Explorer. It asks for your market and goal first and does not change any project data.
- [Review your Ahrefs project keyword tracking](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ahrefs/skills/project-keyword-tracking-review.md): Audits an existing Ahrefs rank tracking project for stale, duplicate or misplaced keywords and outdated competitors, then proposes a cleanup. It asks before changing anything.

### What is a Ahrefs agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Ahrefs skill describes one job, which Ahrefs tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Ahrefs skills change anything on their own?

5 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Ahrefs.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Ahrefs; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Ahrefs MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Ahrefs MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Ahrefs MCP setup guide covers every client.
