Claude Skill A Claude Skill that scans your blog corpus and proposes outbound and inbound link plans for a single piece.

Most teams ship a post and forget to update the rest of the corpus to point at it. The Internal Link Auditor scans your blog folder, finds posts that should link inbound to your new piece on a natural anchor, and proposes 2 to 4 outbound links from the new piece to existing related content. Output is a structured link plan, not a silent edit.

What it does

• Step 1, target: One published or to-be-published post, plus your blog folder.
• Step 2, scan: Every other post in the folder. Finds topical overlap, existing links, anchor candidates.
• Step 3, propose: Two to four outbound from the new post, one to three inbound from existing posts. Anchor text included.
• Step 4, review: Structured markdown plan: each link with file, anchor, and a reason. Apply manually or via a follow-up Skill.

Who is this Skill for?

• Heads of content who want this part of the workflow to stop being negotiated piece by piece.
• Production leads who need the step to be predictable.
• Solo content marketers using Claude Code as a second pair of hands.
• Any team trying to make the LLM part of the pipeline reliable instead of magical.
