site-architecture makes Claude act as an information architecture expert. It asks about your business, current site and content, then returns a page hierarchy, a visual sitemap, a URL map, a navigation spec and an internal linking plan.

It loads when you ask about sitemaps, site structure, navigation, URL structure, breadcrumbs or migrating a site. It is not for XML sitemaps, which SKILL.md hands to a separate seo-audit skill. It bundles four reference files and no scripts.

Good for

  • Founders planning which pages a new website needs
  • Marketers restructuring navigation and URLs on an existing site
  • SEO and content teams designing internal linking

What's in the skill

When it loads

When the user wants to plan, map, or restructure their website's page hierarchy, navigation, URL structure, or internal linking. Also use when the user mentions "sitemap," "site map," "visual sitemap," "site structure," "page hierarchy," "information architecture," "IA," "navigation design," "URL structure," "breadcrumbs," "internal linking strategy," "website planning," "what pages do I need," "how should I organize my site," "site navigation," "which website builder should I use," "migrate my website," or "add a blog to my existing site." Use this whenever someone is planning what pages a website should have, how they connect, and where to build them. NOT for XML sitemaps (that's technical SEO — see seo-audit). For SEO audits, see seo-audit. For structured data, see schema.

Questions

What does the site-architecture skill do?

It plans how a website is organized. You get a page hierarchy, a Mermaid sitemap, a URL map table, a navigation spec and an internal linking plan.

How do I install site-architecture in Claude Code, Claude or Codex?

Use the install box at the top of the page and pick Claude Code, Claude or Codex. Claude Code and Codex read skills from a folder on your machine. In the Claude app you upload the skill folder as a zip.

Does it need an API key?

No. It bundles no scripts and names no key. It reads .agents/product-marketing.md if you have one.

Does it make XML sitemaps?

No. SKILL.md says XML sitemaps are technical SEO and sends them to a separate seo-audit skill. This skill plans structure.

Can it help me choose a website builder or migrate?

Yes. A bundled reference covers choosing a platform, adding a section to an existing site and migrating. Say which one you need.

Is it safe to use?

It is instructions and reference files with no scripts. Its output is a plan: an ASCII tree, a Mermaid diagram and tables. Check the redirect and URL changes it proposes before you apply them to a live site.
