When your agent uses it

  • Applies to any site with more than 20 pages
  • Auditing site architecture
  • Investigating why certain pages underperform in search
  • After a site migration

Example prompts

  • “/weak-internal-links”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • frontendchecklist.io

    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

Weak Internal Links loads about 574 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~574
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

Internal links are how search engines discover pages and how PageRank flows through a site — pages with few internal links are effectively demoted in the crawl priority queue.

Quick Reference

  • Pages with only 1 internal dofollow link are difficult for search engines to discover and poorly valued
  • Internal links pass PageRank — more quality internal links to a page signal its importance
  • Orphan pages (0 internal links) may not be crawled at all unless they are in the sitemap
  • Important pages (money pages, cornerstone content) should have at least 3–5 internal links from relevant pages

Check

Crawl the site and build an internal link graph. Identify pages that: (1) receive 0 dofollow internal links (orphan pages), or (2) receive only 1 dofollow internal link. Cross-reference with performance data from Google Search Console to identify underperforming important pages.

Fix

For pages with weak internal linking: identify 3–5 topically relevant pages on the site and add contextual internal links from those pages to the underlinked page. Use descriptive, keyword-relevant anchor text. Prioritize linking from high-authority pages (homepage, cornerstone content).

Explain

Explain how internal links distribute PageRank across a site, why orphan and weakly-linked pages are harder to discover and rank, and how to build a deliberate internal linking strategy based on content hierarchy.

Code Review

Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Weak Internal Links. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.
