website-flow-monitor_skill

Overview

This skill analyzes a website URL, discovers business-critical user flows to monitor, and proposes a practical monitoring plan. It helps design synthetic checks for uptime, checkout, onboarding, API auth, and other critical paths, then schedules recurring cron health checks only after you confirm the plan.

How this skill works

The skill normalizes the provided URL, scans common entry points (homepage, pricing, docs, signup, login, dashboard, robots/sitemaps) and uses a lightweight discovery script to collect links. It categorizes candidate checks by impact (revenue, onboarding, product/API, trust, SEO, content), returns a proposed set with expected behavior for each URL, and waits for your confirmation before creating or updating a cron job that runs the agreed checks on a schedule.

When to use it

• You want to monitor site uptime and surface failures for key business flows.
• You need synthetic checks for checkout, signup, login, or onboarding sequences.
• You want an automated plan that distinguishes revenue vs onboarding vs API checks.
• You need recurring health checks delivered as concise OK/WARN/ALERT summaries.
• You need help discovering likely critical endpoints from a single URL.

Best practices

• Confirm the proposed flow list and check frequency before scheduling cron jobs.
• Expect 401/403 as valid outcomes for auth-protected API endpoints; flag other 4xx/5xx as ALERT.
• Prioritize revenue and onboarding checks for higher cadence (shorter intervals).
• Request updates to an existing cron job when adding or removing endpoints to avoid duplicates.
• Use the discovery helper script for reproducible link reports and quick re-scans.

Example use cases

• Scan a new product site, propose a monitoring plan covering pricing, signup, and checkout, then start hourly checks after approval.
• Audit an API-first service to monitor docs pages, auth endpoints (expect 401), and critical API routes with daily health checks.
• Monitor an e-commerce funnel: homepage -> product page -> add-to-cart -> checkout with high-frequency cron checks.
• Set up recurring checks for onboarding flows and support/contact pages to ensure customer-facing links remain available.
• Regularly validate robots.txt and sitemap to catch SEO discovery regressions.
