Skill0 starsChanged 39 days agoMITView on GitHub

Recover backlinks pointing at dead or moved pages on the user's site with SEOsorted — finds the dead URLs that still have links, re-checks them live, matches each to the closest live page, and produces a 301 redirect map. Use when the user asks to reclaim lost links, fix broken backlinks, find 404 pages with backlinks, redirect old URLs after a migration, or for quick link-building wins.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Add AI-crawler 404s: track_ai_search_visibility operation: "crawler_misses" lists moved pages with a suggested redirect target (free).

    line 13
  2. Very specific:

    Check every suggested target is right: same topic and intent, not just similar words.

    line 14

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Link reclamation

The fastest links to win are ones the site already earned. A redirect from a dead URL to the right live page recovers them without outreach.

Steps

  1. build_backlinks operation: "reclaim" (defaults to the workspace's site; domain for another). 1 keyword lookup credit. Returns up to 25 dead URLs grouped with link counts and the strongest linking domains; each is re-checked live and matched against the sitemap for a similar live page.
  2. Add AI-crawler 404s: track_ai_search_visibility operation: "crawler_misses" lists moved pages with a suggested redirect target (free).
  3. Check every suggested target is right: same topic and intent, not just similar words. Verify with audit_any_page operation: "audit" on the target url (free) when unsure. No good match → redirect to the closest category page, or recommend recreating the page if it had many strong links.
  4. Prioritise by referring-domain strength and link count.

Output

A redirect map the user can hand to their developer or CMS:

Dead URLLinksStrongest linking domainsRedirect to (301)Why

Plus one line per URL to recreate instead of redirect.

Guardrails

SEOsorted does not change redirects on the site; the user applies them. Never redirect everything to the homepage — Google treats that as a soft 404. Where a linking page links to a wrong URL on the user's site, backlink-outreach can draft a correction request (pitch_type: "broken_link").
