Scrape web content as clean markdown/HTML/JSON via the Bright Data CLI (bdata scrape). Use when the user wants to fetch a page, extract content from a list of URLs, or crawl paginated listings. Hands off to data-feeds for supported platforms (Amazon, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) and to search when URLs must be discovered first. Requires the Bright Data CLI; proactively guides install + login if missing.

Search the web via the Bright Data CLI — bdata search for Google/Bing/Yandex SERP, bdata discover for intent-ranked semantic results. Use when the user wants SERP results, needs URLs to feed into scraping, or wants semantic web discovery with optional page content. Hands off to scrape once target URLs are chosen, and to data-feeds when the user wants structured data from a known platform. Requires the Bright Data CLI; proactively guides install + login if missing.

Guide for using the Bright Data CLI (brightdata / bdata) to scrape websites, search the web, run thousands of pre-built scrapers for structured data, manage proxy zones, and check account budget. Use this skill whenever the user wants to scrape a URL, search Google/Bing/Yandex, extract data from Amazon/LinkedIn/Instagram/TikTok/YouTube/Reddit or any other platform, check their Bright Data balance or zones, or do anything involving web data collection from the terminal. Also trigger when the user mentions brightdata, bdata, web scraping CLI, SERP API, or wants to install Bright Data skills into their coding agent.

When the user wants to audit, review, or diagnose SEO issues on their site. Uses live web data via the Bright Data CLI for accurate detection of JS-injected schema, hreflang, canonicals, and live SERP-based ranking checks. Also use when the user mentions "SEO audit," "technical SEO," "why am I not ranking," "SEO issues," "on-page SEO," "meta tags review," "SEO health check," "my traffic dropped," "lost rankings," "not showing up in Google," "site isn't ranking," "Google update hit me," "page speed," "core web vitals," "crawl errors," or "indexing issues." Use this even if the user just says something vague like "my SEO is bad" or "help with SEO" — start with an audit. For building pages at scale to target keywords, see programmatic-seo.
