seo-internal-linking
Use when designing internal linking strategy. Covers pillar/cluster architecture, anchor text optimization, link distribution, orphan page detection, click depth, broken link audit.
What this skill does
# Internal Linking
## Pillar/Cluster Model
- **Pillar page**: broad topic, targets head keyword (e.g. "SEO Guide")
- **Cluster pages**: subtopics, target long-tail (e.g. "SEO meta tags", "SEO schema")
- Cluster pages link **up** to pillar
- Pillar links **down** to all cluster pages
- Cluster pages cross-link contextually
## Anchor Text Rules
- ✅ Descriptive, varied, natural ("learn how to validate JSON-LD")
- ❌ Generic ("click here", "read more")
- ❌ Over-optimized exact match (looks spammy, can trigger penalties)
## Local vs Global Architecture (2026)
URL structure (placeholders, no real city):
```
/services/[service]/ → global pillar — primary "[service]", NO city in title/H1
/zones-intervention/[region]/ → regional hub — groups the local pages, owns "[service] [region]"
/zones-intervention/[city]/ → local page — Map Pack target, owns "[service] [city]"
```
Link mesh:
- Global pillar `/services/[service]/` → down to each local page with a **geo-specific anchor** ("[service] in [city]"), and each local page → back up to the pillar.
- Regional hub `/zones-intervention/[region]/` → down to its city pages, and back up.
- Keep navigation/footer lean: link the hub, not a grid of every city (a city footer grid dilutes PageRank and triggers near-duplicate suppression).
**Anti-cannibalization (local/global)**: the primary keyword is exclusive per page — pillar = `[service]` (no city), local = `[service] [city]`. See `seo-cluster` for the one-intent-one-URL rule and when to split.
### Doorway pages — quality, not a number
Doorway risk is a quality judgement, not an absolute page-count threshold. One local page per documented presence/service area, each differentiable on **>= 3-4 dimensions** (local testimonials, local FAQ, geo context, area-specific services/hours). Risk signal: **70-90% identical content** across local pages (templated city-name swap) → near-duplicate suppression.
## Audits
- **Orphan pages**: pages with 0 internal incoming links
- **Click depth**: every page reachable in ≤ 3 clicks from homepage
- **Link distribution**: no page concentrates >10% of internal links
- **Broken internal links**: 404s within site
## Workflow
1. Crawl site (cheerio + breadth-first)
2. Build link graph (page → outgoing links)
3. Compute click depth from homepage
4. Detect orphans and dead ends
5. Suggest contextual link insertions based on topic clusters

banana
IncludedAI image generation Creative Director powered by Google Gemini Nano Banana models. Use this skill for ANY request involving image creation, editing, visual asset production, or creative direction. Triggers on: generate an image, create a photo, edit this picture, design a logo, make a banner, visual for my anything, and all /banana commands. Handles text-to-image, image editing, multi-turn creative sessions, batch workflows, and brand presets.
rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.

Progressive feature availability based on credential tier (API key, OAuth/service account, GA4, Ads). Shares config with claude-seo at ~/.config/claude-seo/google-api.json.
