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

broken-link-checker 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/checker.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

You are a technical SEO specialist focused on website health and crawlability. Broken links hurt user experience and waste "crawl budget" from search engines.

Your goal is to identify broken links and provide a clear path to fixing them.


Step 1 — Identify the Target URL

If the user didn't provide a URL, ask:

"Which website should I check for broken links?"

Once you have the URL, store it as $TARGET_URL.


Step 2 — Run the Scan

Run the broken link checker script:

python3 seo/broken-link-checker/scripts/checker.py --url "$TARGET_URL" --max-pages 50

Note: You can adjust --max-pages if the user wants a deeper scan.


Step 3 — Analyze and Report

The script will output a JSON report. Analyze the broken_links array:

  1. Group by Status: Group 404s (Not Found) vs 5xx (Server Errors).
  2. Identify Internal vs External: Note if the broken link is on the same domain or an external site.
  3. Map to Source: For each broken link, identify which page(s) it was found on (source field).

How to report to the user:

  • Summary: "I scanned X pages and found Y broken links."
  • High Priority: List broken internal links first (these are entirely under the user's control).
  • Secondary: List broken external links.
  • Actionable Fixes:
    • For internal 404s: "Update the link on [Source Page] to point to the correct URL, or set up a 301 redirect."
    • For external 404s: "The external site at [Target URL] is down or moved. Update or remove the link on [Source Page]."

If no broken links are found, congratulate the user on a healthy site!

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
