outgoing-link-audit from karero/croftweaver is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Liveness audit of every OUTGOING (external) link on an Astro site built with the new-website kit. Builds the site, extracts each external href from dist/, fetches it, and classifies it OK / REDIRECT / REBRAND / DEAD — flagging links that 404, time out, or now redirect to a different domain (a rebrand), with the source page and a suggested fix. This is the network-dependent complement to the offline `tests/links.spec.ts` guard (which only blocks already-known-dead domains from regressing). Run…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Outgoing Link Audit
Links to other people's sites rot: companies rebrand, move domains, or shut down.
The offline test gate (`tests/links.spec.ts`) can only catch domains you *already
know* are dead. This skill is the active sweep that *discovers* the rot.
Read-only with respect to the site: it diagnoses and reports. You apply fixes (and
add any newly-dead domain to the test) only after the user confirms.
## When to run
Monthly, or before a notable release / before launch. It hits third-party servers,
so it is deliberately **not** part of CI (`npm test` must stay hermetic and offline).
## Prerequisite: does the site even have external links?
If the build has no outgoing anchors there is nothing to audit — say so and stop:
```bash
cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
[ -d dist ] || npm run build >/dev/null
SITE_HOST=$(grep -oE "site:[[:space:]]*['\"]https?://[^'\"]+" astro.config.mjs \
| sed -E "s#.*://(www\.)?##; s#/.*##" | head -1)
grep -rhoE '<a [^>]*href="https?://[^"]+"' dist --include='*.html' \
| grep -oE 'href="https?://[^"]+"' | sed -E 's/^href="//; s/"$//' \
| grep -vE "://(www\.)?${SITE_HOST}(/|$|:)" | sort -u | wc -l
```

How to install
mdr add karero/croftweaver/outgoing-link-audit@sha256:f09d8f43037bdf0eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260619.835b0e0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
