This skill finds filing exhibits when the EDGAR directory has no index.json. It parses the HTML directory listing and constructs exhibit URLs directly.
Explains how to find pages with no internal links pointing to them and weave them into the site's link graph: discovery, prioritization, and placement. Use when important pages get no traffic from site navigation; not for intentionally isolated pages like landing variants.
Gives the reliable ways to check whether Google has indexed a new page: site: queries, Search Console URL inspection, and what to do when the page is missing. Use after publishing new pages; not for pages blocked by robots.txt or noindex.
Shows how to mine your own support threads for content ideas: tagging recurring questions, scoring them by frequency, and turning the top ones into a publishing backlog. Use when support answers the same questions repeatedly; not for inventing topics nobody asked about.
Describes which screenshots actually convert on devtool directory listings: the product in action, annotated UI, and terminal output, and which shots to avoid. Use when preparing a directory submission with screenshot slots; not for marketing landing pages or investor decks.
Explains how to take ownership of a directory listing that a third party submitted for your tool: finding the claim flow, proving ownership, and what to do when there is no claim flow. Use when you discover an unclaimed or third-party listing; not for listings of tools you do not own.
Explains how to spot keyword cannibalization in Google Search Console: multiple pages ranking for the same query, splitting clicks, and how to decide which page should win. Use when traffic is flat despite more content; not for sites with under 50 indexed pages.
Compares how fast Bing and Google index new pages, what drives the difference, and how to get indexed quickly on both. Use when planning launch-day indexing or diagnosing why Bing lags; not for ranking optimization, which is a separate topic.

Lays out the rebrand checklist for directory listings: inventorying every listing, prioritizing by traffic, and updating names, logos, URLs, and descriptions without breaking links. Use when renaming or rebranding a tool; not for a minor logo refresh or a tagline tweak.
Shows how to measure which directory listings send real traffic: tagged URLs per listing, analytics segments, and the signup attribution that separates vanity listings from working ones. Use when listed on multiple directories; not for a single listing or for paid ad attribution.

Explains how to add UTM parameters to the links in your forum profile and signature so you can attribute referral traffic per venue in analytics.

Shows how to surface unanswered questions on phpBB forums in your tool's niche: built-in search operators, unanswered-post listings, and a triage rubric for picking threads worth answering. Use when doing forum-based outreach or support on phpBB; not for Discourse (different search syntax) or for finding high-traffic …
A playbook for earning a forum community's trust before ever posting a link: weeks of genuine answers, learning the norms, and only linking as a citation when it actually helps. Use when warming up an account on a developer forum, planning community outreach, or joining a niche community. Not for spam tactics, mass ou…
Compares what the major MCP registries actually require before they list a server: metadata fields, verification steps, review timelines, and update policies. Use it when deciding where to submit an MCP server or diagnosing why a submission stalled. Triggered by questions about MCP registry submission rules, cross-reg…
Explains the MCP tool discovery problem from the agent's side: how agents actually find tools today and what tool builders can do to be found. Use it when designing for agent discoverability or understanding the ecosystem gaps. Not for end-user search.
Covers XML sitemap design for sites with thousands of programmatic pages: sitemap indexes, sharding, lastmod hygiene, and what to exclude. Use it when a large content library needs reliable crawl coverage. Not for small sites with a handful of pages.
