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

canonical-tag 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to canonical-tag — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SEO Technical: Canonical

Guides canonical tag configuration to consolidate duplicate content and declare preferred URLs.

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)

  • Duplicate site versions: HTTPS vs HTTP; www vs non-www; trailing slash (/page vs /page/) — choose one, 301 redirect others
  • Duplicate content: Canonical tags; consolidate and 301 to preferred URL
  • HTTPS: SSL/TLS; secure connection; ranking signal since 2014

Initial Assessment

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

Identify:

  1. Site URL: Base domain
  2. Duplicate scenarios: Multi-language, query params, pagination, alternate URLs
  3. Framework: Next.js, React, static, etc.

Canonicalization Methods (Choose by Scenario)

Method When Strength
301 redirect Preferred; server can redirect Strongest — permanent redirect
Canonical tag Cannot redirect (e.g. params, pagination) Strong — HTML signal
robots.txt Block non-canonical paths Weak — advisory only

Use 301 for HTTP→HTTPS, www variants, trailing slash. Use canonical for params, pagination, UTM.

HTTPS & Security

HTTPS is a ranking signal (Google, 2014). Users and crawlers should access only the HTTPS version.

Requirement Action
SSL/TLS certificate Install valid certificate; use Let's Encrypt for free
301 redirect HTTP → HTTPS; all HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS
Mixed content No HTTP resources on HTTPS pages; fix mixed content warnings
HSTS Optional; Strict-Transport-Security header for repeat visitors

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.
