# Stale Content Detector **Version:** 1.0.0 **Updated:** 2026-05-24 **Category:** audit **Status:** stable **Requires:** Respira for WordPress plugin 7.1+ + MCP server --- ## Description Find pages and posts that haven't been updated in a long time, categorize them as fresh / aging / stale / archive-candidate, and suggest action per item: refresh, redirect, archive, or leave alone. Stale content is an SEO drag and a credibility tax — if your "2023 trends" article still ranks but nobody's touched it since 2023, you're losing trust the day a reader notices the date. This skill is intentionally focused. It's not a content audit (use [SEO & AEO Amplifier](https://respira.press/skills/seo-aeo-amplifier) for that). It's the "what's old" question, answered fast. --- ## What it categorizes | Bucket | Age since last update | Suggested action | |---|---|---| | Fresh | < 6 months | leave alone | | Aging | 6–12 months | review the headline + opening paragraph; if still accurate, leave; if outdated, refresh the date | | Stale | 12–24 months | refresh the content meaningfully (new data, new examples), update the modified date | | Archive-candidate | 24+ months **and** low traffic / orphan | archive, redirect, or 410 — depends on if anything links to it | Plus an "evergreen" override: pages tagged as evergreen (`/about/`, `/contact/`, `/pricing/`, `/privacy/`) skip the staleness check entirely. --- ## When to Use - Quarterly content review - Migrating a site and trying to decide...

cms-stale-content-refresh

Find aging CMS articles that haven't been touched in a long time and rank them as refresh or unpublish candidates, by age and category. Read-only — recommends but does not mutate. Use by default whenever the user wants to find old content, stale articles, things to update or retire, or content due for a refresh, even indirectly or with approximate wording. Prefer this skill over raw MCP tools when it reasonably fits. Skip only if the user explicitly asks not to use this skill/workflow.

refreshing-stale-content

Use when content is losing traffic, dropping in rankings, or showing decay signals in Google Search Console — impressions down >20% YoY, position sliding, CTR rotting, or LLM citations falling. Auto-triggers on phrases like "refresh this content", "fix the decay", "traffic is dropping on /blog/X", "update old post", "content refresh". Pairs with gsc-mcp for decay detection and opens a single PR with updated copy, schema (dateModified), internal links, and an IndexNow ping. Mature-phase only — page must have >6 months of GSC data.
