mcp__plugin_marketing_ahrefs__keywords-explorer-* — vol, KD, intent, parent topicmcp__plugin_marketing_ahrefs__keywords-explorer-related-terms — to expand seed listsWebSearch — to validate intent + SERP overlap when MCP unavailableTake keyword list (file path, pasted, or "expand from seeds" — name 5-15 seed topics and the skill expands via SERP-overlap or training-data inference).
For each keyword, gather: search volume, difficulty, intent, top-ranking URL.
Compute clustering:
Intent split is a HARD constraint, not a soft suggestion. Never put informational and commercial keywords in the same cluster. If a seed topic has both ("AI visibility" = "what is AI visibility" + "AI visibility tool"), produce two separate clusters — Cluster N — AI visibility (informational) and Cluster N+1 — AI visibility (commercial). Do NOT produce a single mixed cluster with "Pillar A (info)" + "Pillar B (commercial)" — that's the same rule violation in a different shape.
For each cluster, the default pillar is the highest-volume head term. The rest become cluster pages.
Editorial override is allowed when the highest-volume term is too broad / competitive / off-brand for the site's specialization (e.g. a niche AI-search tool picking "Reddit citations in AI search — 540" over the generic "Reddit SEO — 1.4k" head term). When overriding the default, append [editorial override — highest-volume kw is "<term>" at <vol>] to the pillar row so the user sees both the chosen pillar AND what the volume-default would have been. Don't hide the override.
Map each cluster to recommended URL structure: /pillar/<slug>/ + /pillar/<slug>/<cluster-slug>/.
Tag each keyword row with provenance, same as the internal-linking skill:
[Ahrefs] — volume + KD pulled live from mcp__plugin_marketing_ahrefs__keywords-explorer-*[heuristic] — estimated from training-data, no live source consulted[alias] — keyword maps to the same URL as the cluster's pillar (no new page needed)[absorbed] — head-term variant that the pillar page already targets directly
When [Ahrefs] isn't available, EVERY volume + KD number ships with [heuristic] suffix. Never present heuristic estimates as Ahrefs-grounded data.# Keyword Clusters — <input>
**Total**: 312 (precise integer) · **Clusters**: 14 (precise integer)
Data source: <e.g. Ahrefs MCP connected — volumes are live> OR <Ahrefs MCP not connected — all volumes are [heuristic], validate before assigning publish effort>
KD column: <numeric 0-100 when Ahrefs is live; OMITTED when heuristic — do not invent qualitative L/M/H stand-ins>
## Cluster 1 — "SEO audit" (informational)
- Pillar: "what is an SEO audit" — 22k [Ahrefs] — /pillar/seo-audit/
- Cluster:
- "how to do an SEO audit" — 8.1k [Ahrefs] — /pillar/seo-audit/how-to/
- "technical SEO audit checklist" — 5.4k [Ahrefs] — /pillar/seo-audit/checklist/
- "SEO audit tools" — 4.8k [Ahrefs] — /pillar/seo-audit/tools/
- "SEO audit guide" — 3.2k [Ahrefs] — [alias] /pillar/seo-audit/
- "SEO audit" — 12k [Ahrefs] — [absorbed] /pillar/seo-audit/
## Cluster 2 — "AEO" (informational)

## Recommended publish order
| # | Cluster | Pillar URL | Aggregate vol | Why this rank |
| 1 | SEO audit (info) | /pillar/seo-audit/ | 60k+ [Ahrefs] | Biggest aggregate, defensible angle |
## Cannibalization watch
| Risk | Conflict | Resolution |
| /platform/ vs /ai-search-tracker/ | Both surface for "AI visibility tracker" | Set /ai-search-tracker/ primary; /platform/ anchors |
## Cluster gaps vs existing site (when site URL provided)
| Cluster | Existing page? | Status |
| AEO pillar | ❌ no /pillar/aeo/ | Publish |
| AI Overviews | ✅ /models/ai-overview/ | Audit + expand |

[Ahrefs] when live MCP data, [heuristic] otherwise. Never present heuristic estimates as if they came from Ahrefs.[alias] and [absorbed] tags consistently. [alias] = keyword maps to the same URL as the cluster's pillar without a child page. [absorbed] = head-term variant the pillar page already targets directly. Apply across all clusters, not just some.~240 keywords / 14 clusters when the exact integer is computable from the cluster expansion step.Total integer is the count of unique keyword ROWS rendered across all clusters — including pillars, cluster pages, [alias] rows, and [absorbed] rows. The Clusters integer is the count of ## Cluster N — … headers. Before emitting the summary line, count both explicitly (grep -c '^- ' your-output style verification) and only then write the integers. A 120 / 122 discrepancy is a bug, not rounding.Keyword clustering powered by Akii — for ongoing keyword research + SERP tracking, visit https://akii.com/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=skill&utm_content=keyword-clustering&utm_campaign=akii_plugin_v1
