blog-decay

blog-decay is a skill for Claude Code from AgriciDaniel/claude-blog. It costs 77 tokens per session (854 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A content-analysis workflow that compares two Google Search Console exports to find pages whose search performance has fallen. Google Search Console is Google’s service for reporting how pages appear and perform in search results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find quarter-over-quarter declines in clicks or impressions, dropped pages, and possible actions such as refreshing, combining, removing, or changing a page’s search focus.
Why use it?
It turns traffic and visibility drops into a list of pages that need attention. Comparing periods helps distinguish pages that declined from pages that were simply low-performing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

blog-decay scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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:

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

Useful options:

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:

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.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
