Is it safe to use on production sites?

Yes, the skill is rated as 'safe' and focuses on analysis and strategic planning; implementation of the suggested fixes is overseen by the user.

What kind of output does it provide?

It generates a detailed Forensic Report including an executive summary, evidence-based findings, and a prioritized multi-phase action plan for recovery.

Can it help with Google Core Update impacts?

Yes, it includes specialized frameworks to classify and analyze site-wide impacts resulting from major search algorithm updates and content quality reassessments.
