Description

README (SKILL.md)
Pages: Category Pages
Guides e-commerce category page structure, content, and SEO optimization. Category pages organize products by attributes and drive 3x more organic revenue than product pages by ranking for broad, high-volume keywords.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product catalog and site structure.
Identify:
- Catalog: Product count, categories, subcategories
- Facets: Filters (size, color, price, brand, etc.)
- URL structure: Current hierarchy, parameter handling
Category Structure
Hierarchy
| Principle | Practice |
|---|---|
| Logical grouping | General -> specific (e.g., Furniture -> Bedroom furniture -> Beds) |
| User search intent | Match how users search (e.g., "bedroom furniture" vs "furniture") |
| Crawl depth | \x3C=4 clicks from homepage; shorter paths improve indexing |
| Long-tail categories | Niche categories convert better (36% vs 11.5% for broad) |
URL Structure
- Subfolders:
example.com/shoes/sneakers,example.com/shoes/outdoor-shoes - Slugs: Descriptive, keyword-rich; lowercase; no stop words
- Avoid: Dates, timestamps,
/category/prefix - Breadcrumbs: Show path; help users and crawlers
Faceted Navigation (Filters)
Filters create many URL combinations (size + color + price). Manage to avoid duplicate content and crawl waste:
| Strategy | Use |
|---|---|
| Canonical | Point all faceted URLs to base category URL |
| robots.txt | Block faceted URLs from indexing if needed |
| nofollow | Add to internal links to faceted URLs |
| JavaScript | Keep filters client-side; single URL for category |
On-Page Content
Content Requirements
- 150-300 words unique copy; pages with this rank ~2.7x higher than product-only grids
- Placement: After hero/H1; FAQ block at bottom
- Purpose: Help users decide; answer curation, materials, recommendations
- Avoid: Manufacturer copy; crowding product grid
SEO Elements
| Element | Practice |
|---|---|
| H1 | One per page; primary keyword; clear purpose |
| Title tag | 50-60 chars; keyword; compelling for CTR |
| Meta description | 150-160 chars; value props (free shipping, returns) |
| Schema | ItemList, Product; AggregateRating if reviews; FAQ if applicable |
Trust & Conversion
- Reviews: Star ratings in SERPs; 99.9% of users read reviews; see serp-features for review rich results
- FAQ: Answer materials, quality, recommendations; +157% conversion when used
- Guides: Link to product guides; internal linking for SEO
Technical
- Consistent layout: Same template across categories; predictable UX
- Mobile: Responsive; touch targets >=44x44px
- Redirects: 301 to category when product pages move; avoid breaking hierarchy
Output Format
- Structure (hierarchy, URL paths)
- Facet strategy (canonical, nofollow, robots)
- Content (H1, intro copy, FAQ)
- SEO (metadata, schema)
- Checklist for audit

Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and internally consistent with its purpose, so risk is low. Before enabling it, check whether your repository's .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md contain any sensitive data (API keys, passwords, or private endpoints); if they do, remove or sanitize those secrets because the skill explicitly reads those files when present. Also treat the quantitative claims (e.g., "3x more revenue") as guidance rather than guarantees, and review any generated changes (canonical tags, robots rules, redirects) on a staging site before deploying to production.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: category-page-generator
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle is a set of SEO and UX guidelines for generating e-commerce category pages. It contains no executable code, network calls, or malicious instructions, and its behavior is entirely consistent with its stated purpose of assisting in web development and SEO optimization.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (category page generation and optimization) match the SKILL.md content: hierarchy, URL structure, faceted navigation, on-page content, SEO markup, and an audit checklist. Nothing in the instructions requires unrelated capabilities.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are prose-only guidance and stay on-topic. They do direct the agent to read local files if present (.claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md) to gather product catalog/site structure context — which is reasonable for this skill but means the agent will access repository-local project context files when available. The instructions do not request other files, environment variables, or external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present; this is an instruction-only skill, so nothing is downloaded or written to disk during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The single file-read behavior (project-context files) is proportionate to the stated purpose of tailoring recommendations to a site/catalog.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request permanent presence or system-wide changes. It does not modify other skills' configs or request elevated privileges.
