What it does

This skill teaches the agent a checklist rule for how many internal links (to your own pages) and external links (to authoritative outside sources) an article should contain. When asked, the agent reviews article content and related templates or rendered HTML for that link balance, then suggests adding 2-3 internal links and 1-2 external links where support is thin. It is guidance for SEO and content quality, not a tool that changes your site on its own.

Great for

  • Content editors checking blog or documentation articles before publishing
  • Front-end developers reviewing article templates for search-facing link output
  • SEO-minded teams running a periodic link-quality pass

Skip it if

  • Sites where the agent cannot read the article content or templates, since the checks depend on the actual HTML or text
  • Anyone expecting automatic link insertion or verified search rankings; the rule is general advice and the files give no measured impact

Try asking

  • “Review this article and tell me whether it has enough internal and external links.”
  • “Check our article template for link density problems that could affect crawlability.”
  • “Suggest where to add 2-3 internal links to related posts in this draft.”
  • “Verify the rendered HTML of our blog routes and flag pages that violate the link rule.”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent the article text or the rendered page HTML, not only source files, so it can judge the final output.
  • Ask for exact file or route names when reviewing templates so fixes are easy to locate.
  • Treat the 2-3 internal and 1-2 external numbers as starting points and adjust to content length and editorial judgement.
