hreflang-check

hreflang-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from indranilbanerjee/neels-plugins. It costs 36 tokens per session (2,598 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of hreflang-check, MIT.

A checker for hreflang links, which tell search engines which language or regional version of a page to show. It reviews pasted HTML or sitemaps and suggests fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate self-links, two-way links between language versions, language-region codes, the default fallback, and references to existing pages.
Why use it?
Incorrect language links can cause search engines to show the wrong regional page or treat translations as competing pages. The check looks for missing, invalid, one-way, and broken references.

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

hreflang-check 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 2d 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.

Purpose

Audit hreflang tag implementation for multilingual and multi-regional SEO. Hreflang annotations tell search engines which language and regional version of a page to serve to which audience — when implemented incorrectly, the wrong language version appears in search results, pages compete against each other for the same queries, and international organic traffic is lost to mis-served content. This command performs a thorough technical audit of hreflang implementation, checking that all language versions are properly cross-referenced with correct annotations, that every page references itself, that references are bidirectional (if page A points to page B, page B points back to page A), that language-region codes are valid, that x-default fallback is configured, and that no orphaned references point to non-existent pages.

Critical for any brand operating multilingual or multi-regional websites. Hreflang errors are among the most common international SEO issues — they are invisible to users, rarely caught in manual QA, and silently degrade search performance across every affected market. Even a single missing bidirectional reference can prevent search engines from correctly associating language versions, causing the wrong page to rank or duplicate content signals to suppress both versions. This command surfaces every implementation error with specific fix instructions and corrected code snippets.

Input Required

The user must provide (or will be prompted for):

  • Website URL or sitemap URL: The starting point for the audit. Can be a single page URL (audits hreflang on that page and its referenced alternates), a sitemap URL (audits all pages listed in the sitemap), or a list of specific page URLs to check. Note: the plugin does not crawl websites directly — if a URL is provided, the user will be guided to provide the HTML source or hreflang data for analysis. Alternatively, the user can paste HTML source, hreflang tag sets, or exported hreflang data directly
  • Specific page URLs to check (optional): A subset of pages to focus the audit on — useful for auditing a specific section (e.g., all product pages, all blog posts) rather than the entire site. If omitted, all pages with hreflang annotations in the provided data are audited
  • Expected language-region codes (optional): The set of language-region codes that should appear in hreflang annotations (e.g., en-US, de-DE, fr-FR, es-ES, ja-JP). Defaults to the brand's configured languages from the language configuration in profile.json. Used to flag missing language versions — if the brand targets de-DE but no hreflang for de-DE exists on a page, that is flagged as a gap

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.
