AI SEO (coreyhaines31) vs SEO (addyosmani)
AI SEO (coreyhaines31) and SEO (addyosmani) are both SEO skills, so an agent choosing between them is matching on descriptions that overlap. Here is where they actually diverge.
AI SEO
coreyhaines31
Prepares content and site signals so AI assistants and large language models are more likely to surface and cite your pages in generated answers. It focuses on agent-readiness and AI-citation signals rather than traditional ranking, meta-tag fixes, or full technical audits, and it won’t perform broad on-page or performance remediation.

SEO
addyosmani/web-quality-skills
Improves a site's chances of ranking in regular search results by correcting meta tags, adding/schema markup, and tidying sitemaps and other indexability signals. It focuses on classic search-engine signals and on-page/indexing fixes — it does not aim to make content show up in AI assistants' answers or replace a full technical Core Web Vitals audit.

Should I use AI SEO or SEO (addyosmani)?
The clearest answer is a situation each one is unambiguously right for. Both of these are drawn from the game's question bank.
Reach for AI SEO when
We rank on the first page of Google and traffic is fine, but when customers ask ChatGPT for tools like ours, it never mentions us. Competitors get named constantly.
Ranking is already solved here, which rules out the three classic-search options no matter how thorough they are. ai-seo is the only one aimed at whether AI assistants surface and cite you — agent-readiness rather than blue links. seo (affaan-m/ecc) is the trap: it is the broadest of the four and fixes almost everything, but everything it fixes is traditional ranking, and traditional ranking is not the problem.
Reach for SEO (addyosmani) when
You just want the classic on-page hygiene handled — correct meta tags, schema markup, and a tidy sitemap so pages get indexed properly. You are explicitly not after a loading-speed overhaul, a keyword strategy, or a trust-and-authority review.
seo-addyosmani focuses on classic on-page indexability signals — meta, schema, sitemaps — and stops short of a full page-experience audit. seo-affaan-m goes further into page-experience metrics and keyword mapping; seo-agricidaniel audits structure and trust/authority; ai-seo-coreyhaines31 targets AI citation. The tell is on-page indexing hygiene only, explicitly excluding speed, keywords and trust.
What they have in common
Both are filed under SEO, the axis along which they collide. That shared ground is what makes an agent pick between them on description alone — and what makes it pick wrong.

Reading the difference is not the same as spotting it at speed. That is the game.
