Changelog

Every notable change to crawlie — new checks, MCP improvements, and fixes, newest first.

0.2.1 - 2026-06-19

Changed

  • Renamed the npm package to crawlie (unscoped) — install with npm i -g crawlie. Platform binary packages stay scoped (@spronta/crawlie-<platform>), and the previous @spronta/crawlie package remains published as an alias.

0.2.0 - 2026-06-19

Added

  • Agent Skills — four standalone Agent Skills in skills/ (seo-site-audit, fix-broken-links, pre-launch-seo-check, geo-ai-readiness) that teach any agent to run real audits. Each is self-contained: it needs neither the repo nor a pre-installed crawlie, bootstrapping the binary on demand via npx -y -p crawlie and preferring the MCP tools when present.
  • Claude Code plugin — .claude-plugin/ manifest bundling the crawlie MCP server (auto-run via npx) plus the skills, installable in one step (claude plugin marketplace add spronta/crawlie → claude plugin install crawlie@spronta).
  • Per-page SEO scores (Yoast-style) for every crawled page.
  • PageRank link scores, a prioritized Top Fixes list, and llms.txt detection.
  • Interactive drill-downs on the overview charts.
  • New-release detection banner and a draggable results header in the desktop app.
  • Crawl date/time shown in the results header.

Changed

  • MCP: compact, agent-first tool responses plus report-slicing tools (list_reports / get_report) for reading saved crawl history.
  • Issue filter chips now use Lucide severity icons; header gained a theme-aware accent bar.

Fixed

  • Self-heal stale scores when loading saved reports.
  • Load older saved reports correctly (serde defaults for newly added score fields).
  • GEO score was being computed against empty default signals (always ~8); now scored against real signals.
  • Window dragging on the desktop app (core:window:allow-start-dragging) and centered traffic-light controls.

0.1.1 - 2026-06-18

Added

  • Initial public release: the crawlie engine (crawlie-core), CLI (crawlie), and stdio MCP server (crawlie-mcp), shipped via npm as crawlie, plus a signed/notarized macOS desktop app.
  • ~40 technical-SEO and GEO (AI-search) checks, Health + GEO scoring, and plain-English fix guidance for every rule.
