Link Check Skill
Verifies the integrity of links in README.md for the
awesome-recursive-language-models list.
When to use
- Before opening a PR that adds or edits resource entries.
- When reviewing a PR, to confirm new links are live.
- Periodically, to catch link rot in the existing list.
How to run
npm test
linkinator parses the Markdown, extracts every link, and reports any that are broken,
redirected, or unreachable.
Self-referential links (this repository's own GitHub URLs) are skipped via --skip:
while the repository is private they return 404 to anonymous checkers even though they
are correct. Remove the skip once the repository is public if you want them re-checked.
Interpreting results
- OK — link resolves (200). No action.
- BROKEN (404/410/timeout) — fix or remove the entry. If the resource genuinely moved,
update the URL to the new primary source.
- Redirect (3xx) — prefer updating the entry to the final canonical URL.
Beyond reachability
A live link is necessary but not sufficient. Per CONTRIBUTING.md,
also confirm the page title matches the entry and the source is primary (not a secondary
summary), and that the resource still satisfies the recursion-centric inclusion criteria.
