SignalDig Growth Research Skill for SEO and Social Research

What you can research

The Skill chooses one of two public research tools and keeps the request within the scope you asked for.

01

Public social research

research_social_signals

Find public topic discussions on X, Reddit, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, and Threads. Retrieve supported public posts and profiles without widening the requested platform or topic.

02

SEO research

research_seo_signals

Check keyword demand, related queries, SERPs, trends, competitors, GEO visibility, backlinks, ranked keywords, and traffic evidence.

When to use it

Compare keyword demand before choosing a page topic.
Check whether a social trend has enough public evidence to investigate.
Review a domain's competitors, backlinks, rankings, traffic, or GEO visibility.
Research a market or language with the requested country, language, and platform boundaries intact.

How a research request runs

The same tool submits the request and reads the result. A single analysis ID keeps the run traceable.

01

Submit research

action: submit

The Skill selects Social or SEO, sends the smallest useful scope, and stores the returned analysis ID.

02

Poll the result

action: get

It checks that same analysis ID until the run completes. Slow work is not submitted twice.

03

Read the evidence

The answer includes the actual coverage, source links, gaps, and analysis ID. Missing data stays unknown rather than becoming a guessed value.

Developer Installation

Clone the repository and copy research-growth-signals into your agent's skills directory. The repository contains one maintained Skill and one SignalDig MCP connection.

Step 1: Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/daily-growth-signals/seo-signal-skills.git

Step 2: Choose your agent and copy the Skill

Select a client to get the correct destination folder.

Step 3: Connect SignalDig MCP

Note: The alias signaldig is configurable. Every client connects to the same endpoint.

SignalDig Growth Research

{
  "type": "http",
  "url": "https://mcp.signaldig.com/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer {your_api_key}"
  }
}

Tip: Register the SignalDig MCP server once per agent — connection parameters are fixed. Examples for common clients:

Claude Code

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signaldig": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.signaldig.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${SIGNALDIG_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex

~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.signaldig]
url = "https://mcp.signaldig.com/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "SIGNALDIG_API_KEY"
enabled = true
default_tools_approval_mode = "prompt"
tool_timeout_sec = 120

Cursor

Settings → Tools & MCP → Streamable HTTP

url:    https://mcp.signaldig.com/mcp
header: Authorization: Bearer <SIGNALDIG_API_KEY>

Windsurf

~/.codeium/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signaldig": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.signaldig.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:SIGNALDIG_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "signaldig-api-key",
      "description": "SignalDig API Key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "signaldig": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.signaldig.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:signaldig-api-key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Simple Download Installation

Download the release archive, unzip it, and copy research-growth-signals into your agent's skills folder.

Step 1: Download the skills

Download seo-signal-skills.zip ↓

Contains the single supported research-growth-signals Skill

1

Click the button above — a GitHub "Releases" page opens in a new tab.

2

Find the newest version (marked Latest) and click the seo-signal-skills-*.zip file to download it.

3

The file is saved to your Downloads folder — a download prompt also appears in your browser.

Step 2: Unzip the downloaded file

1

Open your Downloads folder and find the seo-signal-skills-*.zip file.

2

Windows: right-click the file → choose "Extract All…" → click Extract. Mac: just double-click the file — it unzips automatically.

3

A new folder with the release version in its name appears. Open it.

4

Inside you will see one folder: research-growth-signals. It is the only supported Skill.

Step 3: Put the skills into your AI agent

Every AI client (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf…) has its own skills folder. Copy the research-growth-signals folder there.

Can't find the skills folder? Do this:

1

Open your home folder. Mac: press Cmd + Shift + H in Finder. Windows: open File Explorer and go to C:\Users\YourUserName.

2

The skills folder is hidden (its name starts with a dot). To see hidden files: Mac — press Cmd + Shift + .; Windows — click View at the top, then tick Hidden items.

3

Look for the folder named after your AI client: .claude, .codex, .cursor or .windsurf. Open it, then open the skills sub-folder inside.

4

No skills folder? Right-click → New Folder → name it exactly skills.

Claude Code

~/.claude/skills/

Codex

~/.codex/skills/

Cursor

~/.cursor/skills/

Windsurf

~/.windsurf/skills/

📁

Open the folder you unzipped

→

✂️

Select the research-growth-signals folder

→

📋

Copy them: Ctrl + C (Windows) / Cmd + C (Mac)

→

📌

Open your AI's skills folder and paste: Ctrl + V / Cmd + V

Done! Your skills folder should now contain research-growth-signals. Fully quit and reopen your AI app.

Step 4: Connect the data service (required)

The skills fetch real data through SignalDig's data service (called MCP). Without this step the AI cannot get real data — so this step cannot be skipped.

MCP is like a bridge between your AI and SignalDig's data service. Here is the easiest way to set it up:

1

Open research-growth-signals/SKILL.md with a text editor.

2

Copy the whole content of SKILL.md, paste it into your AI chat, and tell it: "Please configure this MCP connection for me."

3

The AI will guide you or configure it directly. If it asks for an API Key, click the button below to get a free one.

Get your API key from your SignalDig workspace dashboard. Get your API Key →

The API Key is like your data pass for SignalDig services. Keep it private — don't paste it into chats you don't trust.
