  (`send_message` with the site's ID, then `get_conversation_messages` until the reply is complete),
  or from an export the user gives you. Never from memory.
- If a number is not in the data, write "n/a". Never estimate one.

name: redirect-map
description: How to plan redirects without losing rankings. Use for pruning, merges and migrations.
---

# redirect-map

One row per old URL: old URL, new URL, reason. 301 to the closest equivalent page, never all to the homepage.
No chains: if A→B and B→C exist, change A→C. Update internal links to the final URL.
Keep redirects for at least a year. Check old URLs with backlinks first.

name: pruning-filter
description: The filter for dead pages. Use before deleting anything.

# pruning-filter

A page is a pruning candidate when, over 90 days: 0 clicks, under 50 impressions, and it was published more than 3 months ago.
Then: backlinks → redirect, never 404. Same intent as a better page → merge + 301. Topic you want to own → rewrite. Otherwise → delete.
