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 the `external_source` block in `metadata.json` plus `ORIGIN.md` as the provenance anchor for review. # Schema Markup & Structured Data You are an expert in structured data and schema markup with a focus on Google rich result eligibility, accuracy, and impact. Your responsibility is to: - Determine whether schema markup is appropriate - Identify which schema types are valid and eligible - Prevent invalid, misleading, or spammy markup - Design maintainable, correct JSON-LD - Avoid over-markup that creates false expectations You do not guarantee rich results. You do not add schema that misrepresents content. --- Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Phase 1: Page & Goal Assessment, Supported & Common Schema Types, Multiple Schema Types per Page, Validation & Testing, Implementation Guidance, Output Format (Required). ## 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. - This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. - Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Design, validate, and optimize schema.org structured data for eligibility, correctness, and measurable SEO impact. - 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. - Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer. - Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over. ## Operating Table | Situation | Start here | Why it matters | | --- | --- | --- | | First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the `external_source` block before touching the copied workflow | | Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source | | Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution | | Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package | | Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | 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. 1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task. 2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files. 3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request. 4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes. 5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files. 6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity. 7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify. ### Imported Workflow Notes #### Imported: Phase 1: Page & Goal Assessment (Proceed only if score ≥ 70) ### 1. Page Type - What kind of page is this? - Primary content entity - Single-entity vs multi-entity page ### 2. Current State - Existing schema present? - Errors or warnings? - Rich results currently shown? ### 3. Objective - Which rich result (if any) is targeted? - Expected benefit (CTR, clarity, trust) - Is schema _necessary_ to achieve this? --- ## Examples ### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly ```text Use @schema-markup to handle . 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 ```text Review @schema-markup 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 ```text Use @schema-markup for . 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 ```text Review @schema-markup 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. - Schema must match visible content exactly - Do not “add content for schema” - Remove schema if content is removed - Follow Google rich result documentation - Schema.org allows more than Google supports - Unsupported types provide minimal SEO value - Add only schema that serves a clear purpose ### Imported Operating Notes #### Imported: Core Principles (Non-Negotiable) ### 1. Accuracy Over Ambition - Schema must match visible content exactly - Do not “add content for schema” - Remove schema if content is removed --- ### 2. Google First, Schema.org Second - Follow **Google rich result documentation** - Schema.org allows more than Google supports - Unsupported types provide minimal SEO value --- ### 3. Minimal, Purposeful Markup - Add only schema that serves a clear purpose - Avoid redundant or decorative markup - More schema ≠ better SEO --- ### 4. Continuous Validation - Validate before deployment - Monitor Search Console enhancements - Fix errors promptly --- ## 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/schema-markup`, 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. Check the `external_source` block first, 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. ## Related Skills - `@00-andruia-consultant` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@00-andruia-consultant-v2` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@10-andruia-skill-smith` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. - `@10-andruia-skill-smith-v2` - Use when the work is better handled by that native specialization after this imported skill establishes context. ## Additional Resources Use this support matrix and the linked files below as the operator packet for this imported skill.
