broken-links
Scan a codebase for broken links — dead URLs in Markdown/HTML, broken file references, invalid import paths, stale anchor links, and broken cross-doc references — then auto-fix what it can: replace dead URLs with Wayback Machine archives, update moved file paths via git history, remove anchors that no longer exist, and flag what needs human review. Self-healing: learns fix patterns and improves over iterations. Use when: 'fix broken links', 'check links', 'dead links', 'broken urls', 'link rot', 'fix references', 'validate links', 'stale links', 'broken imports'.

Frequently asked questions about broken-links
What does the broken-links skill do?
Scan a codebase for broken links — dead URLs in Markdown/HTML, broken file references, invalid import paths, stale anchor links, and broken cross-doc references — then auto-fix what it can: replace dead URLs with Wayback Machine archives, update moved file paths via git history, remove anchors that no longer exist, and flag what needs human review. Self-healing: learns fix patterns and improves over iterations. Use when: 'fix broken links', 'check links', 'dead links', 'broken urls', 'link rot', 'fix references', 'validate links', 'stale links', 'broken imports'. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the broken-links skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install broken-links` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/broken-links/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does broken-links work with?
broken-links runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the broken-links skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use broken-links after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/broken-links` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the broken-links skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
