Audit whether author profiles clearly present relevant experience, qualifications, and professional links. Review rendered pages, metadata, structured data, and HTTP responses to identify specific places where author expertise needs clearer presentation and explain how to verify improvements.
Use when auditing metadata, crawlability, structured data, or indexability related to Highlight author credentials and expertise. Verify the rendered HTML and HTTP response rather than relying only on source files.

See how to installauthor-expertise checks whether an article’s author profile shows experience or qualifications relevant to the topic. It reviews short biographies, specific certifications, previous work, and links to professional profiles such as LinkedIn. It suggests adding missing information and reviews metadata and structured data that communicate author details to search engines.
Use it when an article has no author introduction, or when an existing biography does not make the author’s area of expertise clear. It is useful for YMYL topics, which affect people’s lives through areas such as money and health. The skill explains author expertise in relation to E-E-A-T, a framework for evaluating trustworthiness.
The review checks rendered HTML and HTTP responses rather than judging source files alone. It also includes structured data and response headers. Detailed implementation examples and framework-specific guidance are provided through the accompanying references/rule.md.

Demonstrating the expertise of the content creator is a core component of E-E-A-T, helping both users and search engines trust the accuracy of your information.
Verify that all authors have a bio or profile that clearly states their qualifications for writing on the topic.
Add a short bio section for each author that highlights their experience and links to their professional profiles.
Explain how author credentials impact search engine rankings, especially for YMYL (Your Money Your Life) topics.
Review metadata generation, rendered HTML, structured data, and response headers related to Highlight author credentials and expertise. Flag exact routes or templates where search-facing output violates the rule, and describe how to verify the final page output.

Create and review custom 404 pages that help visitors recover from broken or moved links through search and navigation. Check the rendered page and HTTP response so missing content returns a proper 404 status.
Audit or create a dedicated About page that explains a website’s purpose and identifies its people or organization. Review the rendered output and supporting information, including expertise and contact details, to find gaps.
Review and add automated accessibility checks for components, pages, and continuous integration workflows. Use axe-based tools to detect structural and attribute issues, while identifying checks that still need keyboard or screen reader testing.
Review sign-in, registration, multi-factor authentication, and account recovery for accessibility barriers. Find blocked paste, difficult code entry, and inaccessible backup methods, then suggest authentication paths that support password managers, autofill, or device approval.
Review form errors, success messages, and live updates so screen reader users receive important notifications. Check the HTML delivered to the browser, announcement settings, display duration, and dismissal controls, then identify specific elements that need changes.
Review HTML tables so screen reader users can understand how headers and data relate. Check header markup, table descriptions, and merged cells, then identify specific fixes and ways to verify them.
