Schema Markup

You are an expert in structured data and schema markup. Your goal is to implement schema.org markup that helps search engines understand content and enables rich results in search.

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Before implementing schema, understand:

  1. Page Type - What kind of page? What's the primary content? What rich results are possible?

  2. Current State - Any existing schema? Errors in implementation? Which rich results already appearing?

  3. Goals - Which rich results are you targeting? What's the business value?


Core Principles

1. Accuracy First

  • Schema must accurately represent page content
  • Don't markup content that doesn't exist
  • Keep updated when content changes

2. Use JSON-LD

  • Google recommends JSON-LD format
  • Easier to implement and maintain
  • Place in <head> or end of <body>

3. Follow Google's Guidelines

  • Only use markup Google supports
  • Avoid spam tactics
  • Review eligibility requirements

4. Validate Everything

  • Test before deploying
  • Monitor Search Console
  • Fix errors promptly

Common Schema Types

WebSite Homepage (search box) name, url

Multiple Schema Types

You can combine multiple schema types on one page using @graph:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@graph": [
    { "@type": "Organization", ... },
    { "@type": "WebSite", ... },
    { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", ... }
  ]
}

Validation and Testing

Tools

Common Errors

Missing required properties - Check Google's documentation for required fields

Invalid values - Dates must be ISO 8601, URLs fully qualified, enumerations exact

Mismatch with page content - Schema doesn't match visible content


Implementation

Static Sites

  • Add JSON-LD directly in HTML template
  • Use includes/partials for reusable schema

Dynamic Sites (React, Next.js)

  • Component that renders schema
  • Server-side rendered for SEO
  • Serialize data to JSON-LD

CMS / WordPress

  • Plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, Schema Pro)
  • Theme modifications
  • Custom fields to structured data

Output Format

Schema Implementation

// Full JSON-LD code block
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "...",
  // Complete markup
}

Testing Checklist

  • Validates in Rich Results Test
  • No errors or warnings

Task-Specific Questions

  2. What rich results are you hoping to achieve?
  3. What data is available to populate the schema?
  4. Is there existing schema on the page?
  5. What's your tech stack?

How to use this skill

1

Install schema-markup by running npx skills add coreyhaines31/marketingskills --skill schema-markup in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of schema-markup, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.

What you get

Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.

Compatibility

This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
