| description | Generate technical SEO assets: sitemap.xml (with sitemap index for large sites), robots.txt, per-entity schema markup (BreadcrumbList, AggregateRating), configurable internal link graph, and hreflang scaffold. Use when the user wants to add or update sitemap, robots, structured data, internal linking, or multilingual hreflang tags. |
Generate technical SEO scaffolds from discovered entities: sitemap, robots, schema, and internal links.
MANDATORY PREPARATION
Invoke the sophon skill first. It contains entity model conventions, output path expectations, and the Context Gathering Protocol.
Follow the protocol before doing any work:
- Check loaded instructions for a
## Sophon Project Context section.
- Check
.sophon.md in the project root.
- If neither exists, run
sophon teach now — do NOT skip this step.
Execution
npx @sophonn/sophon technical --site https://example.com
npx @sophonn/sophon technical --site https://example.com --technical-output ./static
npx @sophonn/sophon technical --site https://example.com --max-links 8
Outputs
| Asset | Default path |
|---|
| Sitemap | public/sitemap.xml (auto-splits into sitemap index + child sitemaps for >45K URLs) |
| Robots | public/robots.txt |
| Schema records | public/sophon/schema.json |
| Breadcrumb schema | public/sophon/breadcrumbs.json |
| Internal link graph | public/sophon/internal-links.json |
| Hreflang scaffold | public/sophon/hreflang.txt |
Adjust the output root with --technical-output. Check the host project's conventions:
- Next.js, Remix, Astro →
public/
- Nuxt →
public/
- SvelteKit →
static/
If the host project already owns sitemap or robots generation, merge or adapt — do not duplicate.
What Gets Generated
Sitemap: One entry per entity with lastmod set from enrichedAt → generatedAt → today (in precedence order), changefreq and priority based on intent classification. Automatically generates a sitemap index with 45K-URL child sitemaps when entity count exceeds the threshold.
Schema: Type is inferred heuristically from entity tags (e.g., SoftwareApplication, Product, WebPage). Entities with ratingValue and ratingCount attributes get automatic AggregateRating markup. Not hard-coded to Article.
Breadcrumbs: BreadcrumbList schema per entity with Home → Entity path. Written to public/sophon/breadcrumbs.json.
Internal links: Entities are linked by shared seed keyword, tag overlap, intent affinity, and word overlap — not by array position. Configurable via --max-links (default 5).
Hreflang scaffold: Generates public/sophon/hreflang.txt with documented <link rel="alternate" hreflang="..."> examples for every entity. Copy the relevant blocks into your page <head> when adding language or region variants. This is a scaffold — it does not auto-inject into pages.
Robots: Permissive default; customize based on host project requirements.
Programmatic API
import { technical } from "@sophonn/sophon";
await technical({
entities: result.entities,
site: "https://example.com",
output: "public",
maxLinks: 8,
});
After Technical Generation
If AI content enrichment is needed, run the enrich skill. Otherwise, review the sitemap and schema outputs and integrate them into the host project's existing SEO pipeline if one exists.
