public-source example · reviewed Sep 28, 2026

UIZZE offers free UI design skills with an optional paid MCP connection. What can a small product team learn from its public distribution?

Test one skill with a concrete first task and a worked example. Ask five users to complete it, then check whether they return for a second task.

see the evidence behind this recommendation

Free entry point: The official README offers a skill install command and a concrete first task. It states that the skills work without an account or MCP connection.
Optional product connection: The skill instructions reserve paid MCP retrieval for questions that need reference evidence. The free workflow can continue without it.
Distribution evidence: An UIZZE plugin is present in GitHub Awesome Copilot. This establishes a discovery route; public listings do not establish paying users or channel revenue.

GSC SEO Optimizer: try this first

gsc-seo-optimizer prompt

Use gsc-seo-optimizer to review these Search Console exports. Check whether the periods and filters are comparable, then recommend which pages to improve next.

example output · synthetic data

A small Search Console export: Germany, Web, all devices, Aug 28–Sep 24, 2026. Enough for a shortlist, not a before-and-after verdict.

Request page-filtered queries and the comparison period. If a page changed three days ago, give it an observation window before another edit.

see the evidence behind this recommendation

/pricing · 100 impressions · 0 clicks: Average position 1 does not prove the title is failing. Get page-filtered queries to check whether brand sitelinks explain the result.
/tool · 120 impressions · 2 clicks: Average position 12 makes this a candidate. Confirm relevant non-brand queries and check recent edits before rewriting.
Data gap: Separate Pages and Queries exports do not establish which query belongs to each page. Overall totals and a complete previous period are missing.

Add Tracetify data, when you need it.

The skills work on their own. Connect Tracetify MCP for growth reports and more research data. An API key is required; some tools use credits.

Questions, answered

Anything else — support@tracetify.com

Are these skills free?

The skill files are free and open source under the MIT license. Your agent, model, or optional data providers may have their own costs.

Do I need a Tracetify account or API key?

No. Competitor Research can use public sources or material you supply, and GSC SEO Optimizer can analyze your exports. Connecting Tracetify MCP is optional and requires a Tracetify API key.

Which agents can I use?

Installation has been tested with Claude Code and Codex. Start with either of these; the GitHub repository includes installation instructions and the full skill source.

How do I provide Google Search Console data?

Give your agent the relevant Search Console exports, including date ranges and filters, or use an existing authorized connection. The skill checks whether the data supports the comparison. You do not upload data to this page.

What is the difference between a skill and MCP?

A skill supplies the workflow and reporting rules. An MCP server provides tools and data access. These skills can be used without Tracetify MCP.
