description	Ensures all agents preserve Google indexing, IndexNow setup, and SEO-related code across the repository.

SEO Preservation Skill

This skill enforces strict preservation of all SEO-related functionality, including Google indexing mechanisms and IndexNow integration.

When to use

When making any code changes that could affect search engine visibility
Before running any refactoring or optimization agents
When updating build scripts, sitemaps, or indexing-related code

Core Rules

Agents must NEVER modify, remove, or disrupt:

Google Indexing

public/sitemap.xml generation and content
public/robots.txt configuration
public/llms.txt and other SEO metadata files
Structured data (JSON-LD) in pages
Meta tags for SEO (title, description, canonical URLs)
Open Graph and Twitter meta tags
Canonical URL implementations

IndexNow Integration

lib/constants.ts INDEXNOW_KEY constant
public/{key}.txt verification files
scripts/notify-indexnow.js script
Post-build IndexNow notification in package.json
Any IndexNow API calls or logic

Build and Deployment SEO

Sitemap generation scripts (scripts/generate-sitemap.js)
SEO audit scripts (scripts/audit-seo.js)
Build-time locale handling for SEO
Static export configurations affecting SEO

Prohibited Actions

❌ Do not remove or modify IndexNow notification scripts ❌ Do not alter sitemap generation logic ❌ Do not change robots.txt directives ❌ Do not remove SEO meta tags from components ❌ Do not modify canonical URL logic ❌ Do not disrupt structured data output ❌ Do not change build scripts that affect SEO files

Validation Steps

Before applying any changes:

Check if the change affects any SEO-related files
Verify sitemap generation still works
Ensure IndexNow key and scripts remain intact
Confirm robots.txt and other SEO files are unchanged
Test that build produces correct SEO outputs

Notes

This skill takes precedence over all other optimization or refactoring instructions
If SEO preservation conflicts with a task, halt and seek clarification
Always preserve the integrity of search engine indexing mechanisms
