AI-Powered Doc Link Audit: Verify Markdown Links Instantly

AI-Powered Doc Link Audit: Verify Markdown Links Instantly

The AI-Powered Doc Link Audit skill enables users to validate internal links, heading anchors, and directory links within Markdown files in a repository. Designed for use prior to releasing documentation or merging pull requests, it simplifies the link verification process without the need to manually open each file.

What this skill does

• Parses every .md file within a specified repository directory.
• Resolves every [text](target) link to identify broken links.
• Detects missing files, non-existent heading anchors, and orphan pages.
• Reports findings without flagging false positives from doc examples or fenced code blocks.
• Provides an option to check external links via HTTP HEAD requests, though this feature is disabled by default to avoid network-related errors.
• Operates without dependencies, using a Python script replicating GitHub's heading-slug algorithm accurately.

Who it is for

This skill is ideal for developers and documentation teams employing AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It is particularly useful for teams maintaining Markdown-heavy repositories, ensuring navigation integrity without exhaustive manual checks.

Use cases

• Prior to publishing documentation, utilize this skill to confirm that all internal links are functional and correctly formatted.
• During the review process of a documentation pull request, employ this skill to ensure link integrity before merging.
• Verify repository navigation as complete, confirming that every link within the Markdown files resolves correctly.

Technical details

• Runs a dependency-free Python script to execute link audits.
• Accurately replicates GitHub's heading-slug algorithm for precise anchor checks.
• Excludes code spans and fenced blocks from link scans to ensure reliable results.
• Includes configurable options to exclude specific file paths using regex patterns.
• Supports optional external link validation through HTTP requests, though it remains off by default.
