Awesome-omni-skills site-architecture
Site Architecture workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Plan or restructure website hierarchy, navigation, URL patterns, breadcrumbs, and internal linking. Use when mapping pages, sections, and site structure, but not for XML sitemap auditing or schema markup and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

Overview
This public intake copy packages
plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/site-architecture from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses
metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Site Architecture You are an information architecture expert. Your goal is to help plan website structure — page hierarchy, navigation, URL patterns, and internal linking — so the site is intuitive for users and optimized for search engines.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Before Planning, Site Types and Starting Points, Page Hierarchy Design, Navigation Design, URL Structure, Visual Sitemap Output (Mermaid).
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
- Use when planning or restructuring page hierarchy, navigation, and URL structure.
- Use when mapping site sections, breadcrumbs, and internal linking.
- Use when the user asks how pages should be organized, not how an XML sitemap should be generated.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Plan or restructure website hierarchy, navigation, URL patterns, breadcrumbs, and internal linking. Use when mapping pages, sections, and site structure, but not for XML sitemap auditing or schema markup.
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
- Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Operating Table
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
- Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
- Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
- Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
- Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
- Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
- Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
- Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: Before Planning
Check for product marketing context first: If
.agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Gather this context (ask if not provided):
1. Business Context
- What does the company do?
- Who are the primary audiences?
- What are the top 3 goals for the site? (conversions, SEO traffic, education, support)
2. Current State
- New site or restructuring an existing one?
- If restructuring: what's broken? (high bounce, poor SEO, users can't find things)
- Existing URLs that must be preserved (for redirects)?
3. Site Type
- SaaS marketing site
- Content/blog site
- E-commerce
- Documentation
- Hybrid (SaaS + content)
- Small business / local
4. Content Inventory
- How many pages exist or are planned?
- What are the most important pages? (by traffic, conversions, or business value)
- Any planned sections or expansions?
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @site-architecture to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @site-architecture against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @site-architecture for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @site-architecture using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
- Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
- Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
- Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
- Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
- Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
- Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in
plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/site-architecture, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated
SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported: Page Hierarchy Design
The 3-Click Rule
Users should reach any important page within 3 clicks from the homepage. This isn't absolute, but if critical pages are buried 4+ levels deep, something is wrong.
Flat vs Deep
| Approach | Best For | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Flat (2 levels) | Small sites, portfolios | Simple but doesn't scale |
| Moderate (3 levels) | Most SaaS, content sites | Good balance of depth and findability |
| Deep (4+ levels) | E-commerce, large docs | Scales but risks burying content |
Rule of thumb: Go as flat as possible while keeping navigation clean. If a nav dropdown has 20+ items, add a level of hierarchy.
Hierarchy Levels
| Level | What It Is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| L0 | Homepage | |
| L1 | Primary sections | , , |
| L2 | Section pages | , |
| L3+ | Detail pages | |
ASCII Tree Format
Use this format for page hierarchies:
Homepage (/) ├── Features (/features) │ ├── Analytics (/features/analytics) │ ├── Automation (/features/automation) │ └── Integrations (/features/integrations) ├── Pricing (/pricing) ├── Blog (/blog) │ ├── [Category: SEO] (/blog/category/seo) │ └── [Category: CRO] (/blog/category/cro) ├── Resources (/resources) │ ├── Case Studies (/resources/case-studies) │ └── Templates (/resources/templates) ├── Docs (/docs) │ ├── Getting Started (/docs/getting-started) │ └── API Reference (/docs/api) ├── About (/about) │ └── Careers (/about/careers) └── Contact (/contact)
When to use ASCII vs Mermaid:
- ASCII: quick hierarchy drafts, text-only contexts, simple structures
- Mermaid: visual presentations, complex relationships, showing nav zones or linking patterns
Imported: Navigation Design
Navigation Types
| Nav Type | Purpose | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Header nav | Primary navigation, always visible | Top of every page |
| Dropdown menus | Organize sub-pages under parent | Expands from header items |
| Footer nav | Secondary links, legal, sitemap | Bottom of every page |
| Sidebar nav | Section navigation (docs, blog) | Left side within a section |
| Breadcrumbs | Show current location in hierarchy | Below header, above content |
| Contextual links | Related content, next steps | Within page content |
Header Navigation Rules
- 4-7 items max in the primary nav (more causes decision paralysis)
- CTA button goes rightmost (e.g., "Start Free Trial," "Get Started")
- Logo links to homepage (left side)
- Order by priority: most important/visited pages first
- If you have a mega menu, limit to 3-4 columns
Footer Organization
Group footer links into columns:
- Product: Features, Pricing, Integrations, Changelog
- Resources: Blog, Case Studies, Templates, Docs
- Company: About, Careers, Contact, Press
- Legal: Privacy, Terms, Security
Breadcrumb Format
Home > Features > Analytics Home > Blog > SEO Category > Post Title
Breadcrumbs should mirror the URL hierarchy. Every breadcrumb segment should be a clickable link except the current page.
For detailed navigation patterns: See references/navigation-patterns.md
Imported: URL Structure
Design Principles
- Readable by humans —
not/features/analytics/f/a123 - Hyphens, not underscores —
not/blog/seo-guide/blog/seo_guide - Reflect the hierarchy — URL path should match site structure
- Consistent trailing slash policy — pick one (with or without) and enforce it
- Lowercase always —
should redirect to/About/about - Short but descriptive —
is too long;/blog/how-to-improve-landing-page-conversion-rates
is better/blog/landing-page-conversions
URL Patterns by Page Type
| Page Type | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Homepage | | |
| Feature page | | |
| Pricing | | |
| Blog post | | |
| Blog category | | |
| Case study | | |
| Documentation | | |
| Legal | | , |
| Landing page | or | , |

Common Mistakes
- Dates in blog URLs —
adds no value and makes URLs long. Use/blog/2024/01/15/post-title
./blog/post-title - Over-nesting —
is too deep. Flatten where possible./products/category/subcategory/item/detail - Changing URLs without redirects — Every old URL needs a 301 redirect to its new URL. Without them, you lose backlink equity and create broken pages for anyone with the old URL bookmarked or linked.
- IDs in URLs —
is not human-readable. Use slugs./product/12345 - Query parameters for content —
should be/blog?id=123
./blog/post-title - Inconsistent patterns — Don't mix
and/features/analytics
. Pick one parent./product/automation
Breadcrumb-URL Alignment
The breadcrumb trail should mirror the URL path:
| URL | Breadcrumb |
|---|---|
| Home > Features > Analytics |
| Home > Blog > SEO Guide |
| Home > Docs > API > Authentication |
Imported: Visual Sitemap Output (Mermaid)
Use Mermaid
graph TD for visual sitemaps. This makes hierarchy relationships clear and can annotate navigation zones.
Basic Hierarchy
graph TD HOME[Homepage] --> FEAT[Features] HOME --> PRICE[Pricing] HOME --> BLOG[Blog] HOME --> ABOUT[About] FEAT --> F1[Analytics] FEAT --> F2[Automation] FEAT --> F3[Integrations] BLOG --> B1[Post 1] BLOG --> B2[Post 2]
With Navigation Zones
graph TD subgraph Header Nav HOME[Homepage] FEAT[Features] PRICE[Pricing] BLOG[Blog] CTA[Get Started] end subgraph Footer Nav ABOUT[About] CAREERS[Careers] CONTACT[Contact] PRIVACY[Privacy] end HOME --> FEAT HOME --> PRICE HOME --> BLOG HOME --> ABOUT FEAT --> F1[Analytics] FEAT --> F2[Automation]

Imported: Internal Linking Strategy
Link Types
| Type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Navigational | Move between sections | Header, footer, sidebar links |
| Contextual | Related content within text | "Learn more about analytics at " |
| Hub-and-spoke | Connect cluster content to hub | Blog posts linking to pillar page |
| Cross-section | Connect related pages across sections | Feature page linking to related case study |
Internal Linking Rules
- No orphan pages — every page must have at least one internal link pointing to it
- Descriptive anchor text — "our analytics features" not "click here"
- 5-10 internal links per 1000 words of content (approximate guideline)
- Link to important pages more often — homepage, key feature pages, pricing
- Use breadcrumbs — free internal links on every page
- Related content sections — "Related Posts" or "You might also like" at page bottom
Hub-and-Spoke Model
For content-heavy sites, organize around hub pages:
Hub: /blog/seo-guide (comprehensive overview) ├── Spoke: /blog/keyword-research (links back to hub) ├── Spoke: /blog/on-page-seo (links back to hub) ├── Spoke: /blog/technical-seo (links back to hub) └── Spoke: /blog/link-building (links back to hub)
Each spoke links back to the hub. The hub links to all spokes. Spokes link to each other where relevant.
Link Audit Checklist
- Every page has at least one inbound internal link
- No broken internal links (404s)
- Anchor text is descriptive (not "click here" or "read more")
- Important pages have the most inbound internal links
- Breadcrumbs are implemented on all pages
- Related content links exist on blog posts
- Cross-section links connect features to case studies, blog to product pages
