Skills index checker
Skills listed at conventional paths let agents find what your site can do. The checker reads the same paths the audit requires.
Part of the AI agent discovery checker group — also included in the free full scan.
Checks site-wide files at the domain root — any page URL on the domain gives the same result.

skill index: 2Static example for Skills index checker; run the check above for your own result.What it checks
See whether agents can discover what your site can do from a skill index.
/.well-known/skills and /skills.json, named entries.
Reads the raw JSON only, never renders. Follows up to 5 redirects.
What good looks like
Good looks like named entries at /.well-known/skills or /skills.json telling agents what your site can do. An index without names fails; no index reports na — the standard defines no discovery endpoint.
How to fix it
List skill names at /.well-known/skills or /skills.json, or keep SKILL.md folders in the repo.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Skills index checker free?
Yes — one free run without an account, with an anonymous preview. Sign in to save the full report and keep the evidence.
How often should I run it?
After every deploy that touches routing, templates or the checked file — and after each Google core update, to confirm nothing regressed.
Does the check run JavaScript?
No — it reads the no-JS response only, exactly what a crawler or AI agent sees when it fetches the URL.
How is this different from a full audit?
This page runs one check with its full criteria and fix notes. The free full scan runs every category at once and keeps the evidence per URL — use it once you know which checks matter.
