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

site-crawlability 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SEO Technical: Crawlability

Guides crawlability improvements: robots, X-Robots-Tag, site structure, and internal linking.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope (Technical SEO)

  • Redirect chains & loops: Fix multi-hop redirects; point directly to final URL
  • Broken links (4xx): Fix broken internal/external links; 301 or remove
  • Site architecture: Logical hierarchy; pages within 3–4 clicks from homepage
  • Orphan pages: Add internal links to pages with no incoming links
  • Pagination: Prefer pagination over infinite scroll for crawlability
  • Crawl budget: Reduce waste on duplicates, redirects, low-value URLs (see below)
  • AI crawler optimization: SSR for critical content; URL management; reduce 404/redirect waste (see below)

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for site structure.

Identify:

  1. Site structure: Flat vs. deep hierarchy
  2. Framework: Next.js, static, SPA, etc.
  3. Key paths: Sitemap, robots.txt, API, static assets

Best Practices

Redirect Chains & Loops

  • Fix multi-hop redirects; point directly to final URL
  • Loops: URLs redirecting back to themselves; break the cycle

Broken Links (4xx)

  • Fix broken internal/external links; 301 or remove
  • Audit regularly; update or remove broken links

Site Architecture

Principle Guideline
Depth Important pages within 3–4 clicks from homepage
Orphan pages Add internal links to pages with no incoming links; see internal-links for link strategy
Hierarchy Logical structure; hub pages link to content

Pagination vs Infinite Scroll

Problem: With infinite scroll, crawlers cannot emulate user behavior (scroll, click "Load more"); content loaded after initial page load is not discoverable. Same applies to masonry + infinite scroll, lazy-loaded lists, and similar patterns.

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.
