BA seo-traffic-diagnosis
Diagnose organic traffic changes (drops, stalls, or unexpected wins) using Ahrefs MCP plus Search Console data. Use this skill when traffic suddenly dropped, has been flat despite investment, after an algorithm update, after a migration or deploy, or when a competitor seems to be taking share. Triggers on traffic dropped, traffic decline, traffic stalled, organic decline, lost rankings, why is traffic down, algorithm update, post-migration traffic loss, traffic diagnosis. Also triggers when stakeholders are panicking about an organic traffic number they cannot explain. A panic about tracking, event, or dashboard setup is a measurement problem, not a traffic problem: route those to `analytics-strategy`.

As a process A 80/100 · Runs to the end — weak spots: running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
