## What it does

The `seo-geo-claude-skills` repository is now a signpost repo. Development here has stopped. The `internal-linking-optimizer` skill was merged into `site-structure-optimizer` inside the `aaron-marketing-skills` bundle.

A frozen copy remains available under tag `v9.9.12` at `optimize/internal-linking-optimizer/SKILL.md`. For active maintenance, the author instructs users to install `site-structure-optimizer` directly from the new bundle.

Running the legacy standalone file makes sense only for backwards compatibility with older setups. Because upstream maintenance ended, switching directly to the consolidated bundle is safer. The repository README documents the mapping of 20 old skills into 16 new ones.

# `internal-linking-optimizer` has moved

> [!IMPORTANT]
> `seo-geo-claude-skills` is now a **signpost** repo — its skills are no longer developed here.
> This file exists only so older links to `optimize/internal-linking-optimizer/` keep resolving.

**Active version:** [`seo-geo/optimize/site-structure-optimizer`](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills/tree/main/seo-geo/optimize/site-structure-optimizer) in the [`aaron-marketing-skills`](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills) bundle.
_The old `internal-linking-optimizer` was merged into `site-structure-optimizer` — see the mapping table for what folded where._

**Frozen standalone copy** (unchanged, tag `v9.9.12`): [`optimize/internal-linking-optimizer/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/v9.9.12/optimize/internal-linking-optimizer/SKILL.md).

Install the active skill from the bundle:

```
npx skills add aaron-he-zhu/aaron-marketing-skills -s site-structure-optimizer
```
