google-search-console

google-search-console is a skill for Claude Code from VKirill/claude-lane-stack. It costs 172 tokens per session (4,982 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of instructions for using Google Search Console, Google's service for monitoring how websites appear in search results. It covers search data, URL indexing checks, sitemaps, site permissions, and limited indexing notifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve search analytics, inspect a URL's indexing status, manage sitemaps and site properties, or notify Google about eligible job-posting and broadcast-event pages.
Why use it?
It brings common search-visibility and indexing checks into programmatic workflows instead of requiring each check in the web interface.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Prompt Injection · line 21
    Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
  • high Tool Misuse · line 118
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

google-search-console 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.

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.

Version Requirements (May 2026)

Primary pins:

  • Search Console API: v1 (Webmasters v3 endpoints stable; URL Inspection on searchconsole.googleapis.com/v1)
  • Indexing API: v3 (JobPosting + BroadcastEvent only)
  • Python: 3.14.x
  • Node.js: 24.x (Active LTS)

Usage

Loaded automatically when the description matches the active task. Read only the section you need, then follow the link to the relevant reference file for full detail.

Use this skill when

  • Pull search analytics data (queries, pages, countries, devices, searchAppearance) for content planning, position audits, or client reports.
  • Programmatically check URL index status via urlInspection.index.inspect (verdict, coverageState, lastCrawlTime, googleCanonical vs userCanonical, mobileUsability, AMP, richResults).
  • Submit / delete / list sitemap.xml for an added property (/webmasters/v3/sites/{siteUrl}/sitemaps).
  • Manage sites list (URL-prefix property vs Domain property sc-domain:example.com) and check permission level.
  • Notify Google about a new or deleted page via Indexing API — only for JobPosting or BroadcastEvent. Regular pages will not work and abuse risks revoke.
  • Build a Python (google-api-python-client + google-auth) or Node.js (googleapis) client with service account and automatic 25k-cap pagination.
  • Schedule a daily ETL of search analytics into PostgreSQL — (query, page, country, device, date) → clicks/impressions/ctr/position.
  • Audit indexation on large sites via URL Inspection while respecting the 2000/day/property quota.

Do not use this skill when

  • You need Yandex Webmaster — different provider, different property/sitemap model; → cascade yandex-webmaster.
  • You need GA4 web analytics (sessions, users, events) — GSC only returns Google search data; → cascade google-analytics.
  • You need Bing Webmaster Tools — separate Microsoft API.
  • You need generic Google OAuth2 / service account patterns; → cascade google-cloud-auth.
  • You need true SERP positions with real locale/device — GSC returns averaged impressions/position for queries already discovered; real SERP snapshot → cascade xmlstock.
  • You expect a "list all my indexed URLs" endpoint — Google does not provide one; sample via Sitemaps + URL Inspection.
  • You want to force-index regular pages with Indexing API — abuse-banned, alternative is sitemap + internal links + UI "Request Indexing".
