Is Hub Link Check safe to copy into my own project?

Yes, under the MIT licence. It's an original — Bryan Collins (PWS pattern, 2026-04-20) published it under MIT, so attribution-plus-commercial-use is fine.

Hub Link Check

Verifies that a defined hub of pages all link to each other — catches missing cross-links that break SEO and UX.

Entry verified April 20, 2026

The short answer

Content hubs only work if the pages in them cross-link. This skill defines the hub explicitly (a list of URLs) and fails if any page doesn't link to the others.

When to use it

After adding a new page to an existing hub. Weekly as part of site-health.

Setup

1
Save as ~/.claude/skills/hub-link-check.md.
2
Configure: list of URLs that form each hub.
3
Runs as a grep-based check across hub files.

Example

You: /hub-link-check
Claude: Hub 'Claude hubs' (3 pages): claude-code-mcp-stack missing link to /calculators/claude-plan-picker; claude-pro-vs-max-vs-api missing link to /claude-code-mcp-stack. Fix?

Caveats

Grep-based, not semantic. A link in a footer counts even if it's not contextually useful.
