AI Agents & Claude Code

A Claude Code Templates review for marketers: eight SEO and marketing components from aitmpl.com, every file read at a pinned commit (October 19, 2026) and re-checked unchanged on October 23. Two are worth installing as they are, four need a read first (a FAQPage template with sample ratings, a global npm install, bundled Python), two are better skipped (a LinkedIn API command with Bash and curl, a skill that fetches its instructions from a remote list), plus where the site's "Scanned by NVIDIA SkillSpector" badge agrees and where it misses.

The best Claude Code skills for SEO on an affiliate site stop bad pages from going live. Seven skills with a captured run on real Saazora work (October 19, 2026): an on-page checklist that took an old review from 2 real failing checks to 0, a 12-line check script, an effort gate that said Hold, a linking skill that refused 3 links to unpublished pages, a store validator that blocked a fake offer for 2 reasons, plus what none of them did and the order to build your own.

Claude Code for affiliate marketing works best on the rule-heavy work around each article: disclosure, rel attributes, duplicate text, links to unpublished pages. How Saazora's brief-to-publish pipeline runs, real terminal output from its draft check (10 checks, 12 result lines; 5 of 5 seeded defects caught on October 18, 2026), what the publish log shows before and after scheduled runs (2.2 to 2.4 articles a day, no time-per-article claim), six rules for your own CLAUDE.md, and a no-install option.

Are Claude skills safe? Most are plain text, but a few fetch remote instructions, add an MCP server holding your API key, or ship hooks that run shell commands. A 10-step pre-install checklist, each step shown on a real line from davila7/claude-code-templates (commit 4df7973, re-checked at ffcb267 on October 20, 2026), plus what Anthropic's docs and Datadog Security Labs say about skills, dynamic context and hooks.
