## Skills

- [Use Semrush data with AI, safely and within your API budget](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/semrush/skills/essentials.md): Sets the baseline for working with Semrush through an AI tool: confirms the account and plan first, picks the right tool for the question, and keeps requests inside your API unit budget. It asks before anything that changes your Semrush account.
- [Competitor landscape brief with Semrush](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/semrush/skills/competitor-landscape-brief.md): Builds a market brief for a domain or niche: who competes, how much traffic each takes, which themes they win, and what the data cannot prove. It confirms scope and budget before pulling reports.
- [Check site health and keyword rank trends with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/semrush/skills/site-health-and-rank-check.md): Triages your own site's technical issues and keyword position movements over time, separating real regressions from normal noise. It asks before changing any tracking or project settings.

### What is a Semrush agent skill?

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

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

2 of the 3 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 Semrush.

### 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 Semrush; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

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

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