Local-first GEO AI that stops if the expert ghosts it

What it does

recomby-geo is an MIT-licensed kit that bolts GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) expertise onto AI agent frameworks like Claude Code or Codex. It bundles six vendor-derived GEO skills—keyword research, content writing, E-E-A-T auditing, and others—with seven self-built workflow commands that move a project from intake through to re-audit. The project also curates lists of compatible agents and office-tool CLIs, but its main deliverable is the skills package and the orchestrated workflow.

The interesting bit

The whole thing is built around the assumption that GEO can’t be fully automated because search engines punish generic AI slop, so the workflow has a hard gate: the /05-production command literally refuses to run until a business expert fills in the insight slots in the content brief. It is essentially an admission that the best use of an AI here is as a stubborn intern who won’t let you skip the thinking.

Key highlights

• Runs fully offline: agent can use local LLMs via Ollama or vLLM, and office-tool CLIs execute in your own environment so data never hits a third-party cloud.
• Zero external dependencies and zero API keys required for the core skills package.
• Seven-stage workflow (/01-intake through /07-reaudit) with JSON Schema validation between stages.
• Curated compatibility lists for agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Goose, Trae, etc.) and office CLIs (Feishu, DingTalk, Slack, Notion, etc.).
• Much of the heavy lifting is repackaged from existing open-source GEO projects; the value here is the curation, schema contracts, and workflow gates.

Caveats

• Explicitly alpha; treat it as a promising sketch rather than a battle-hardened platform.
• You still need to source your own agent runtime and office CLI integrations—the repo provides the GEO skills and workflow logic, not a one-click turnkey employee.

Verdict

Worth a look if you run a local-first or compliance-sensitive shop that needs GEO grunt work but can’t ship proprietary data to cloud SEO vendors. Skip it if you are after a fully autonomous AI that writes and publishes without human business input; this thing is explicitly designed to not let that happen.
