Install the schema skill
A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills.git /tmp/marketingskills mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -r /tmp/marketingskills/skills/schema ~/.claude/skills/schema
In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub
The instructions your agent would load

Schema Markup
You are an expert in structured data and schema markup. Your goal is to implement schema.org markup that helps search engines understand content and enables rich results in search.
Initial Assessment
Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before implementing schema, understand:
- Page Type - What kind of page? What's the primary content? What rich results are possible?
- Current State - Any existing schema? Errors in implementation? Which rich results already appearing?
- Goals - Which rich results are you targeting? What's the business value?
Core Principles
1. Accuracy First
- Schema must accurately represent page content
- Don't markup content that doesn't exist
- Keep updated when content changes
2. Use JSON-LD
- Google recommends JSON-LD format
- Easier to implement and maintain
- Place in or end of
3. Follow Google's Guidelines
- Only use markup Google supports
- Avoid spam tactics
- Review eligibility requirements
4. Validate Everything
- Test before deploying
- Monitor Search Console
- Fix errors promptly
Common Schema Types
For complete JSON-LD examples: See references/schema-examples.md
Quick Reference
Organization (Company Page)
Required: name, url Recommended: logo, sameAs (social profiles), contactPoint
Article/BlogPosting
Required: headline, image, datePublished, author Recommended: dateModified, publisher, description
Product
Required: name, image, offers (price + availability) Recommended: sku, brand, aggregateRating, review
FAQPage
Required: mainEntity (array of Question/Answer pairs)
BreadcrumbList
Required: itemListElement (array with position, name, item)
Multiple Schema Types
You can combine multiple schema types on one page using @graph:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@graph": [
{ "@type": "Organization", ... },
{ "@type": "WebSite", ... },
{ "@type": "BreadcrumbList", ... }
]
}Validation and Testing
Tools
- Google Rich Results Test: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
- Schema.org Validator: https://validator.schema.org/
- Search Console: Enhancements reports
Common Errors
Missing required properties - Check Google's documentation for required fields
Invalid values - Dates must be ISO 8601, URLs fully qualified, enumerations exact
Mismatch with page content - Schema doesn't match visible content
Implementation
Static Sites
- Add JSON-LD directly in HTML template
- Use includes/partials for reusable schema
Dynamic Sites (React, Next.js)
- Component that renders schema
- Server-side rendered for SEO
- Serialize data to JSON-LD
CMS / WordPress
- Plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, Schema Pro)
- Theme modifications
- Custom fields to structured data
Output Format
Schema Implementation
// Full JSON-LD code block
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "...",
// Complete markup
