seo-analyzer + geo-analyzer gain MODE: collect|judge|template around the
dispatcher (mode-based, zero body-text moves — seo-data fetch-wiring
locks survive; opus pin kept = fail-safe direction, a forgotten override
over-tiers but never downgrades judgment). Run-scoped gitignored
signals handoff (.audit/*-signals-<RUNID>.md + COLLECTION COMPLETE
sentinel), judge fails closed on absent/mismatched/unsealed signals.
/seo rewired to 3 phases (domains parallel per phase) + DISPATCHER ERROR
CONTRACT (mute/ERROR judge never carried into templating; retry once,
escalate); /geo same single-domain; legacy no-MODE single-shot kept on
the opus pin for /harden narrow-scope + /onboard report-only. Dropped
/geo's 'ask and I relay' fiction (dispatched agents cannot ask).
In-wave smokes PASSED disk-verified: collect signals+sentinel; judge
ERROR-verdict on wrong RUNID; real judge = honest N/A + deterministic
engine + full scoring grammar; template = complete envelope + verbatim
sentinel + zero re-derivation. Census §18 (125 pass — one vacuous
line-wrapped lock caught by the census itself and fixed), make test
exit 0.
After a plan/reflection is elaborated and before it executes, three fresh blind
sub-agents (correctness / robustness / simplicity) attack it on the big model;
the main loop RE-THINKS every aspect a BLOCKER lands (a named plan change, or
[deferred]) and re-challenges once if the plan materially changed. Advisory into
each skill's existing human gate — the human stays the decider.
- lib/challenge-plan.md — reusable phase: fail-safe (never fail open),
severity-driven (any single-lens BLOCKER = must-address), RE-THINK loop
- agents/plan-challenger.md — challenger role (read-only, big-model per BDR-066)
- lib/tests/plan-challenger.test.sh — 41-assertion structure lock
- wired into 11 orchestrators: ship-feature/init-project/feat/bugfix (build-plan),
onboard/audit-delta/code-clean (proposals), seo/geo/harden/web-validate (fix-bundle)
Hardened by dogfooding: 3 blind challengers reviewed this feature's own v1 plan
and caught 4 BLOCKERs (fail-open, consensus-buries-lone-finding, wrong model
tier vs BDR-066, false on-disk-plan premise) — all fixed here.
STEP 0 told the user to run `mkdir -p .claude/audits/external` themselves
before handing over an external report. Three things wrong with that:
- The skill runs dozens of bash commands but outsourced this one to a human.
- The timing was impossible: to "drop the export in" that directory the user
needed it to already exist, so the instruction arrived after the moment it
would have been useful.
- The directory is not needed at all. `:218` already reads "File path given
→ Read it" — any path works — and nothing in skills/ or agents/ ever
writes to that path. Grep confirms it is referenced by exactly these two
lines and known to nothing else: a convention the skill invented, asked
the user to create, and never used.
Fix removes the precondition instead of automating it: give a path from
anywhere, the tidy location stays a suggestion.
Verified: make test 35 GREEN / 0 RED.
Headers were scored three ways: seo-analyzer priced them into the Technical
axis at both depths (:619 FULL, :635 LOCAL), depth-matrix.md:29 said drop
them, and /harden re-audits them 0-100 against three external validators.
The dedup rule and the agent spec contradicted each other; the agent won by
default, so the same finding moved two scores in two reports.
Arbitrated (user): /harden keeps them, /seo drops them. That confirms the
rule that already existed — seo-analyzer was the violator.
Constraint: /harden REUSES seo-analyzer, so the capability cannot be
deleted, only scoped. Reading is not scoring:
- Technical axis definitions no longer name security headers.
- STEP 4 still curls them — needed for X-Robots-Tag, canonical/redirect
coherence, and the §14 observed-list — but they earn no points under /seo.
- Dispatched from /harden: unchanged, headers ARE the job (verified: its
scope spec untouched, 16 header references intact).
Carve-out: X-Robots-Tag stays in /seo under indexability. It is an indexing
directive wearing a header's clothes — `noindex` there deindexes as surely
as a meta robots tag. That is what depth-matrix.md:29 means by "unless it
directly affects indexability"; the security headers do not.
Drop is not silence: mandatory §14 line on FULL naming what was observed
live plus a "run /harden <url>" pointer. A user who never runs /harden must
not read a clean Technical score as clean headers — same principle as the
mandatory COVERAGE line (I5).
Verified: make test 35 GREEN / 0 RED.
- Optional gate before agent dispatch: file in .claude/audits/external/
(PDF read directly), pasted PDF content / suggested AI prompt, or skip
- 30-day staleness check; normalized EXTERNAL FINDINGS block in shared
context; both dispatch prompts carry the data-not-instructions rule
(cross-check before bundling, never merge external score into /20 axes)
- Merge side: confirmed findings credited 'Confirmé par <tool>', refuted/
uncovered ones surfaced in §14 divergences; no report → §12 recommends
the free SORank extension; console summary line added
- STEP 0 collects user-confirmed CANONICAL NAP (LRN-032 zenquality:
duplicated-seed trap — source majority is not truth)
- Both dispatch prompts carry the canonical NAP + no-majority rule;
seo-analyzer spec forbids directional NAP fix without confirmation
- STEP 2 now emits .claude/audits/HUMAN-ACTIONS.md (checklist from §11)
and NAP-KIT.md (local business) in BOTH modes — audit-only runs leave
the user immediately actionable; /client-handover §4 consumes NAP-KIT
tokenstore remove/clear, fetch.sh forget dispatch, and a connect.sh wrapper
that sources ~/.claude/.env internally and runs from any project. /seo now
routes connect|accounts|forget before the audit flow; Makefile seo-connect
delegates to the wrapper. Labels are guarded to shell-safe ASCII (POSIX case,
whole-string, C-locale) as defense-in-depth; forget output states local
removal is not a Google-side revocation.
Both sections never matched any component (envelope §1-§9 vs the real
§0-§15 structure; 8-axis integer weights vs the agents' 7/4 and 6/5
percentage-weight scoring). Kept what this file legitimately owns: the
depth-decision matrix and the sibling-skill dedup rules.
Clearer scoped name for the W3C + WCAG skill. Updated: folder (git mv),
frontmatter name, H1 title, command refs, CLAUDE.md routing, 6 profiles
(functional — activate the skill by folder name), cross-refs in
harden/seo/depth-matrix/client-handover, agent dispatch refs, README +
USAGE tables.
Confidentiality: the client-deliverable leak-guard regex
(client-handover-writer.md) now matches BOTH /web-validate and legacy
/validate, so older client docs stay covered.
Left intentionally: validator-analyzer agent name (lockstep with
subagent_type + registry), .validate-cache/ + VALIDATE.md (audit-file
family {SEO,GEO,HARDEN,CSO,VALIDATE}.md), .claude/ history (append-only),
CHANGELOG old entry (added a new "renamed" entry instead). NL trigger
keywords kept so "validate" still routes here. Third-party html-validate
untouched.

Two issues fixed across personal skills:
1. Five skills had frontmatter > 1024 chars (spec limit per agentskills.io):
- client-handover: 1920 → 924
- doc: 1390 → 734
- seo: 1378 → 885
- geo: 1189 → 734
- validate: 1050 → 742
All now compliant.
2. Three orchestrators had workflow-summary descriptions that create
"shortcut" risk per writing-skills CSO (Claude may follow the
description instead of reading the full skill body, skipping steps):
- ship-feature: "design → plan → implement (TDD) → review → finish"
→ "Use when shipping a feature end-to-end — needs… (9-step pipeline)"
- init-project: "interview → design → scaffold → implement (TDD)"
→ "Use when initializing a brand-new project from scratch — needs…"
- onboard: "detect archetype, install claude-config, run full audit…"
→ "Use when bringing an existing repo into the framework — needs…"
Descriptions now follow "Use when [triggers]…" pattern. Workflow detail
preserved in skill body where it belongs. Triggers consolidated and
trimmed of duplicates.

Before: SEO.md, GEO.md, HARDEN.md, VALIDATE.md, BUGS-FOUND.md landed
at project root. After: all five go to .claude/audits/. Covers both
dispatcher write paths and the dispatcher bash commands that parse
each report (test -s, grep score, wc) — otherwise the dispatcher
would look for the file at the old location.
- skills/seo,geo,harden,validate,code-clean — write paths + console
summaries ("Report: .claude/audits/X.md")
- skills/harden,validate — bash parsing commands (test/grep/wc) aligned
- agents/seo-analyzer,validator-analyzer,code-cleaner — agent-side refs
- agents/validator-analyzer frontmatter description updated

New /validate skill runs a narrow-scope web standards audit covering
W3C HTML validity (validator.nu API in FULL, html-validate / vnu.jar
in LOCAL), W3C CSS validity (jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator in FULL,
stylelint / css-tree in LOCAL), and WCAG 2.1 accessibility (pa11y,
@axe-core/cli, WAVE API, or static checklist fallback).
Dedicated validator-analyzer agent with a strict IN/OUT scope filter
so the report stays focused on conformance — no meta/OG/JSON-LD/
sitemap/CSP/cookie/CWV noise. Those remain owned by /seo, /geo, and
/harden respectively.
LOCAL mode degrades gracefully: tries local npm tools first, falls
back to static analysis if none present (same 12-point a11y checklist
as /onboard a11y dispatch). Never fails hard.
Framework awareness: validates built output (dist/, _site/, build/,
out/) for SPA/JS frameworks, not JSX/TSX source. Warns if no build
dir found.
Fix mode (--fix) produces a conservative auto-fix bundle: missing
lang attr, alt="" on decorative images, unclosed void tags, duplicate
IDs, unambiguous heading level skips. Content decisions (form labels,
color contrast, landmark restructure, alt text on content images)
always go to User actions, never auto-applied.
Flags: --local, --full, --fix, --no-external.
Routing updated in CLAUDE.md. /harden and /seo cross-refs narrowed
to redirect W3C / WCAG concerns to /validate (was previously routed
to /onboard a11y dispatch, which only runs at setup).

Post-review hardening of the parallel seo+geo dispatch:
- skills/seo/SKILL.md: shared-file edit discipline embedded in both dispatch prompts (Edit-only on shared templates, Write only on sole-owned files). CROSS-AGENT NOTES flow clarified — dispatcher escalates to SEO.md §11 as user action with automation options (Option B).
- agents/seo-analyzer.md: STEP 2 detects 8 CMS (WordPress/Drupal/Magento/Shopify/Joomla/PrestaShop/Ghost/Wix-Squarespace-Webflow) and presence of SEO plugins. STEP 10 emits P0 quick win "install CMS plugin" when CMS detected without plugin. STEP 5 expands topic clusters / silos sémantiques. Framework notes in STEP 12 cover all 8 CMS explicitly.
- agents/geo-analyzer.md: STEP 6 checks /faq path + FAQPage schema presence. STEP 11 mandates 3 AI-index user actions per FULL audit (Bing Webmaster Tools / GSC / IndexNow) + Apple Business Connect for local business.
- agents/resources/automation-catalog.md: new structured CMS plugin section (install links + pricing per platform). AI-index submission section rewritten with Bing Webmaster as canonical entry for ChatGPT Search/Copilot/DuckDuckGo, IndexNow protocol details, Brave Web Discovery, Apple Business Connect.
- agents/resources/llms-txt-template.md: explicit note that /ai.txt and /about-data are NOT real standards; llms.txt (Jeremy Howard) remains the only proposed one.
Rationale: third-party AI review of the skill surfaced 5 gaps — race condition on shared templates (Layout.astro holds meta + JSON-LD), ambiguous cross-agent flow, missing CMS-plugin-first logic (Gemini), under-exposed Bing Webmaster (ChatGPT Search channel), and minor accuracy items.

Refactor the monolithic seo-analyzer into two specialist agents
orchestrated in parallel by the /seo skill, plus a standalone /geo
skill for AI-only audits.
Changes
- agents/seo-analyzer.md: refocused on classical engines (Google, Bing,
DuckDuckGo). Adds Core Web Vitals 2.0 (LCP/INP/CLS + VSI), CSP + full
security headers, hreflang audit, video SEO (transcripts), accessibility
as ranking signal, image/video sitemaps.
- agents/geo-analyzer.md: new agent for AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude,
Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Copilot). Covers AI crawler
policy, llms.txt/llms-full.txt, Schema.org for AI extraction (QAPage,
Speakable, Person+Article, Organization graph), entity SEO (Wikidata,
sameAs, Knowledge Panel), content shape (Definition Lead, TL;DR,
Q->A, citable stats, freshness), AI visibility testing.
- agents/resources/: shared knowledge base referenced by both agents —
ai-crawlers-2026.md (25+ bots, training vs retrieval categories,
permissive/restrictive templates), llms-txt-template.md, geo-schemas.md
(incl. deprecated list: ClaimReview, CourseInfo, etc. removed June 2025),
entity-seo.md, content-shape-for-ai.md, ai-visibility-tools.md,
automation-catalog.md.
- skills/seo/SKILL.md: becomes parallel dispatcher. Collects context
once (depth + business), spawns both agents in a single message for
concurrent execution, merges envelopes into unified SEO.md. Includes
authoritative file-ownership matrix to prevent parallel-edit races.
- skills/geo/SKILL.md: new standalone wrapper for GEO-only audits.
Scoring
- Combined score: GLOBAL = 0.80 * SEO + 0.20 * GEO (local B2C),
0.75 * SEO + 0.25 * GEO (SaaS/national/content).
- GEO axis weight raised from 5% (old) to first-class dimension.
Policy
- AI crawlers: permissive default (maximise AI citations). Restrictive
template available for premium/regulated content.
- Every user action in SEO.md section 11 must cite automation options
from automation-catalog.md.
Tools
- WebFetch + WebSearch added to allowed-tools of both skills and
both agents (needed for live CWV via PageSpeed API, AI visibility
testing, Wikidata/Knowledge Panel lookups, competitor analysis).
Research basis (2026 state of the art validated via WebSearch):
- Core Web Vitals 2.0 (VSI signal, Google core update March 2026)
- AI Overviews trigger on ~48% of Google searches
- ClaimReview + 6 other schema types deprecated June 2025
- Definition Lead Architecture (CMU KDD 2024, +impression score)
- Citations + stats add up to 40% AI visibility (Aggarwal 2024)
- Wikidata grounds every major LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity)
Backup
- agents/seo-analyzer.md.bak kept for rollback reference.

Skills now delegate to agent .md files instead of embedding logic
inline. Added new agents (bugfixer, code-cleaner, commit-changer,
doc-syncer, feater, hotfixer, seo-analyzer) and new skills
(code-clean, doc, seo). Replaced /readme with /doc (broader scope).
