Link Checker

Validates all internal links on the local Hugo development server.

Usage

Run the link checker script:

python .claude/skills/check-links/scripts/check_links.py

What it checks

• Crawls all pages starting from http://localhost:1313/
• Follows internal links only (same host)
• Reports broken links (404s, connection errors)
• Shows which page contains each broken link

Prerequisites

None. The script reuses an existing Hugo dev server if one is listening on a common port; otherwise it launches its own on an ephemeral port and kills it when the check completes. Do not start a server yourself before running this.

Output

• Lists any broken links found with their source pages
• Exits with code 0 if all links valid, 1 if broken links found
