Use this skill when the user asks for links between short briefs, longform articles, topics, projects, author pages, breadcrumbs, source trails, related stories, orphan-page checks, overlink checks, anchor intent, or validation that a link graph reinforces the canonical content model without creating duplicate story bodies or hidden links.

Internal Link Graph Architect

Use this skill after information-architecture-seo has defined page roles and canonical policy.

Read references/link-graph-rules.md before producing a full graph.

Owns

  • intentional internal link graph;
  • brief-to-longform and longform-to-brief links;
  • breadcrumbs;
  • topic, project, author, community, and source-trail links;
  • anchor intent;
  • orphan-page checks;
  • overlink and duplicate-intent risk checks.

Does Not Own

  • canonical and hreflang policy;
  • final URL architecture;
  • external backlink placement;
  • hidden links;
  • visual UI layout;
  • schema implementation.

Workflow

  1. Read url-map.yaml, page roles, canonical model, language groups, and content model.
  2. Identify required structural links: breadcrumbs, brief-longform pairs, topic/project/author/entity links.
  3. Add source-trail links only when they are visible and useful to users.
  4. Assign link_type, anchor_intent, user_reason, seo_reason, and risk.
  5. Flag orphan pages, circular links without purpose, irrelevant exact-match anchors, and duplicated story-body routes.
  6. Produce internal-link-graph.yaml using assets/internal-link-graph.template.yaml.
  7. Hand off schema/head implications to technical-seo-schema-engineer and rendered navigation checks to ui-ux-llm-product-architect.

Link Rules

  • Every link must have a user reason.
  • A short brief should link to its one longform article when a longform exists.
  • A longform article should link back to its brief when the brief remains a standalone news surface.
  • Topic pages organize related pages with summaries; they do not duplicate story bodies.
  • Author and project links support trust and entity understanding.
  • Breadcrumbs clarify hierarchy; they are not keyword stuffing.
  • Related links should be sparse and defensible.
  • External authority placement is out of scope.

Safety And Privacy Boundaries

  • Do not recommend hidden links, cloaked links, injected footers, irrelevant exact-match anchors, or link stuffing.
  • Do not link public pages to admin, private API, private analytics, raw IP logs, staging URLs, secret files, or unpublished drafts.
  • Do not create extra public story pages to increase link count.
  • Do not weaken UX or accessibility for SEO anchors.

Validation

Before marking work complete:

  • every link has source URL, target URL, type, anchor intent, user reason, SEO reason, and risk;
  • every page expected to be discoverable has at least one logical incoming link;
  • brief and longform pages are paired without creating extra story bodies;
  • topic/project/author links have entity or navigation purpose;
  • hidden or irrelevant link recommendations are absent.

Output Shape

Return:

  1. Link graph summary.
  2. Required structural links.
  3. Optional related links.
  4. Orphan/overlink risks.
  5. Handoff notes for technical SEO/schema and UX.
