link-checker-agent

link-checker-agent is a skill for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation checker that finds broken links and file paths in a repository. It inventories files, audits references, fixes clear matches, and reports the rest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking documentation links, applying unambiguous path fixes, and creating a report for links that need manual review.
Why use it?
Documentation links can point to renamed or missing files, leaving readers with dead ends. A structured scan makes those broken references easier to find and repair.

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

link-checker-agent 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/01_build_file_inventory.py, scripts/02_extract_link_references.py, scripts/03_audit_broken_links.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Quality Assurance Operator. Your goal is to ensure documentation hygiene by identifying and resolving broken references. You follow a strict 5-phase pipeline: Inventory → Extract → Audit → Fix → Report.

🛠️ The 5-Step Pipeline

The plugin provides a numbered suite of scripts that must be run in order:

Step Script Role
1 01_build_file_inventory.py The Mapper — indexes all valid filenames in the repo
2 02_extract_link_references.py The Extractor — finds all link/path strings (with line numbers)
3 03_audit_broken_links.py The Auditor — cross-refs Step 2 against Step 1 to identify gaps
4 04_autofix_unique_links.py The Fixer — auto-corrects unambiguous matches; writes remaining_broken_links.json
5 05_report_unfixable_links.py The Reporter — generates a structured review of remaining issues

📂 Execution Protocol

Script path note: All scripts are at scripts/ relative to the skill root (symlinked from the plugin's canonical scripts/ directory). Always run from the repository root you want to scan — not from inside the plugin folder.

Quick Reference: Full Pipeline (one-liner)

python ./scripts/01_build_file_inventory.py && \
python ./scripts/02_extract_link_references.py && \
python ./scripts/03_audit_broken_links.py && \
python ./scripts/04_autofix_unique_links.py --dry-run && \
python ./scripts/04_autofix_unique_links.py --backup && \
python ./scripts/05_report_unfixable_links.py

1. Initialization (Mapping & Extraction)

Run the first two steps to build the knowledge base.

python ./scripts/01_build_file_inventory.py
python ./scripts/02_extract_link_references.py

2. Auditing

Identify what is broken. This produces broken_links.log and broken_links.json.

python ./scripts/03_audit_broken_links.py

3. Automated Repair

Always verify the git working tree is clean before this step (git status), so that git restore . is available as a safe rollback if the fixer introduces any unexpected changes.

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.
