Index & coverage sentinel

Each week a sentinel watches Search Console for new 404s, coverage errors, sudden deindexing, redirect chains, and cannibalization, verifies every finding, and files one fix task per root cause — you approve the weekly report and which fixes proceed.

What it installs

Agents 1

  • Coverage Sentinel

    Sweeps Search Console for coverage damage, verifies every finding against the live site, clusters by root cause, and reports weekly for human approval.

Workflows 1

  • Sweep, verify, cluster, report

    Sweep Search Console for coverage damage, verify every finding against the live site, cluster by root cause with one fix task each, and summarize the week for approval.

Documents 1

  • Coverage-incident log

    The baseline of what the index should look like and the rolling history of every coverage incident cluster, its fix task, and its resolution.

Goals 1

  • No unexplained coverage regressions

    Keep the indexed page set matching the baseline, with every regression caught, root-caused, and owned within a week.

Skills 3

  • index-coverage-triage

    Read Search Console like an analyst — pinpoint when each metric changed, correlate the change point with releases and CMS or server changes, decide investigate/correct/overlook/monitor, keep monthly snapshots, and work the low-CTR/high-impression queue. Adapted from kostja94/marketing-skills/google-search-console.

  • url-forensics

    Verify every candidate incident with real fetches and audit it in priority order — crawlability and indexation first, then technical foundations against Core Web Vitals thresholds, then on-page, content quality, and authority — so nothing is reported on Search Console's word alone. Adapted from coreyhaines31/marketingskills/seo-audit.

  • root-cause-clustering

    Group verified findings into clusters that share one underlying cause, name that cause in a sentence, and write one owner-ready fix task per cluster with the affected URLs and a suggested fix.

Schedules 1

  • Coverage sweep

    Sweeps index coverage for new damage each week.

Requirements

What this playbook expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Browser access to Google Search Console — The agent reads page indexing, coverage, and query reports in Google Search Console through its web interface in your browser and pauses for your approval before any action. Until you connect it, it works from attached coverage exports and the coverage-incident log.
  • Web search and fetch access for verifying URLs — The agent confirms each reported URL's real status code, redirect chain, and page tags through worker web search and fetch tools before filing anything; it only reads public pages and never changes anything.
  • What the index is supposed to look like — Your sitemaps, the key page templates, and roughly how many pages of each should be indexed — captured in the coverage-incident log's baseline section so the sentinel can tell an incident from business as usual.
