GSC Assistant Skill
Purpose
This skill helps manage Google Search Console indexing status by maintaining two markdown tracking files:
indexed.md - All indexed pages in two tables:
"Indexed Public" - URLs confirmed in GSC export data
"Indexed With Lag" - URLs confirmed via URL Inspection (not yet in export)
to-index.md - Pages awaiting indexing:
Difference between sitemap and total indexed URLs
Prioritized by categories (configurable)
Tracks submission dates
When to Use This Skill
User asks about "indexing status" or "GSC indexing"
User wants to "compare sitemap with indexed pages"
User mentions "URL inspection" or "false positives"
User needs to "track submissions" or "indexing progress"
User asks to "move indexed pages" or "update indexing status"
User wants to "generate indexing report"
Key Concepts
GSC Data Lag
Google Search Console export data has approximately 2 weeks lag. Pages that show as indexed in URL Inspection may not appear in the export yet. These are tracked separately as "Indexed With Lag".
False Positives
When checking to-index pages via URL Inspection:
If indexed: Mark as "false positive - indexed" in Submitted column
Pre-processing moves these to indexed.md (Indexed With Lag table)
The "Detected" date is inferred from when the entry was added to to-index
