What it does

Blog Decay is an agent skill from AgriciDaniel/claude-blog. Detect content decay from Google Search Console exports by comparing current and previous page performance, flagging quarter-over-quarter traffic drops, dropped pages, and refresh, consolidate, prune, or query-shift actions. Use when the user says "/blog decay", "content decay", "traffic drop", "QoQ decline", "GSC decay", or "refresh declining posts".

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO. It works with Google Search Console. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code blog skill suite: 30 sub-skills, 5 agents, 5-gate v1.9.0 Blog Delivery Contract, dual-optimized for Google rankings and AI citations. Active development at… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says /blog decay
  • Refresh declining posts

Example prompts

  • “/blog decay”
  • “content decay”
  • “traffic drop”
  • “/blog-decay”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2500d4c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Blog Decay loads about 959 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~959

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Blog Decay

Use /blog decay to find pages whose Google Search Console performance has declined quarter-over-quarter. The command compares a current-period export against a previous-period export, flags pages with a 20% or larger decline by default, and recommends the next content action.

Default Offline Workflow

Run the local analyzer against two GSC page exports:

bash
python3 scripts/content_decay.py current.json previous.json

Useful options:

bash
python3 scripts/content_decay.py current.json previous.json --threshold 0.30
python3 scripts/content_decay.py current.json previous.json --metric impressions
python3 scripts/content_decay.py current.json previous.json --format markdown --output decay-report.md

The script accepts JSON lists of page rows with page or url, clicks, and impressions. It also accepts the object shape returned by blog-google when the rows are under a top-level rows key.

Optional Live GSC Export

For live data, use /blog google gsc or the underlying blog-google command to create each period export, then run the offline analyzer:

bash
python3 skills/blog-google/scripts/run.py gsc_query --property sc-domain:example.com --dimensions page --start-date YYYY-MM-DD --end-date YYYY-MM-DD --json > gsc-current.json
python3 skills/blog-google/scripts/run.py gsc_query --property sc-domain:example.com --dimensions page --start-date YYYY-MM-DD --end-date YYYY-MM-DD --json > gsc-previous.json
python3 scripts/content_decay.py gsc-current.json gsc-previous.json --format markdown

Use adjacent periods of similar length for short-term checks. For seasonality, also run a year-over-year comparison using the same date length, filters, search type, device, country, and property. When possible, inspect up to 16 months of GSC history before diagnosing a traffic drop.

Decay Model

The default metric is clicks. Also review impressions, CTR, average position, query and page pairs, device, country, and search appearance deltas before choosing an action.

Severity:

DeclineSeverity
20% to 39.9%warning
40% to 59.9%high
60% or morecritical

Dropped pages are previous-period pages missing from the current export only after confirming identical filters, sufficient row limits, matching dimensions, and URL inspection. Otherwise mark them as needs_validation, not dropped_out.

Show full SKILL.md (128 more words)Show less

Use the action as the first triage path only after checking indexation, canonical status, query loss, internal links, backlinks, seasonality, and business value:

ActionUse when
refresh/update contentThe page still has demand and likely needs freshness, title, internal link, or section updates.
investigate query shiftClicks fell while impressions held up, suggesting CTR, rank, SERP, or query mix changes.
consolidate/redirectThe page dropped out or the loss is severe enough that merging into a stronger URL may recover value faster.
pruneThe page had very low prior demand and may not justify rewrite effort.

Cross-references

Use blog-google to collect Search Console exports when live credentials are available. Use blog-rewrite after decay detection when the recommended action is refresh/update content and the page is worth improving.
