## What it does

The skill runs content through six passes: target keywords, heading structure, readability, technical elements, content quality and recommendations. Keyword density is checked against a 1-2% target, paragraphs against a 150-word limit, headings against the H1 → H2 → H3 order. Readability uses Flesch Reading Ease (60-70), grade level 7-9 and average sentence length under 20 words.

The technical pass looks at meta titles of 50-60 characters, meta descriptions of 150-160 characters, URL slugs, image alt text and internal links. What comes out is a report with a score out of 100, a section per area and an implementation checklist. Findings land in three buckets: critical, high priority, medium.

Two reference files ship with it: `references/analysis-framework.md` holds the formulas and E-A-T criteria, `references/output-templates.md` holds the report template. The skill only advises — it does not rewrite your files, so the edits are on you. It suggests starting with the critical items, where an empty meta description or a keyword missing from the title usually turns up.

- Check keyword usage in headings
- Evaluate paragraph length (target: <150 words)
- Assess overall scannability

### 3. Readability Metrics

```javascript
// Readability scoring example
const readabilityMetrics = {
  fleschScore: 65,           // Target: 60-70
  gradeLevel: 8,             // Target: 7-9
  avgSentenceLength: 18,     // Target: <20 words
  passiveVoice: 5,           // Target: <10%
  transitionWords: 30        // Target: >30%
};
```

**Key Metrics:**
- Flesch Reading Ease score (60-70 ideal)
