Can I use this for content that needs a total rewrite?

This skill is designed for updates. If a topic is completely dead or requires a 100% overhaul, it is better to use a dedicated content pipeline or archive the post.

How does the refresh scoring system work?

It evaluates articles based on outdated content, traffic potential, update effort, strategic value, and competition to determine if a refresh is worth the investment.

When is an article a good candidate for a refresh?

Content should be refreshed if it is over 6 months old, uses outdated library versions, has declining traffic, or if competitors have published more current information.

Does this skill help preserve existing SEO rankings?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on maintaining URLs, updating metadata correctly, and adding 'Updated' notes to signal freshness to search engines without losing existing authority.
