docs-redirects

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation and management of redirects in Elastic documentation, ensuring that users are seamlessly guided to the correct pages when content is moved, renamed, or deleted.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create and manage redirects: Define rules in redirects.yml for page movements, renames, or deletions.
• Handle anchor remapping: Specify how URL anchors should be redirected or stripped.
• Support cross-repository redirects: Link to content in other Elastic documentation repositories.
• Update internal links: Assist in finding and updating broken links within the documentation.
• Use Case: When a documentation page like old-path/page.md is moved to new/path/page.md, this skill ensures that any traffic or links pointing to the old URL are automatically redirected to the new one, preventing broken links and user frustration.

Quick Start

Use the docs-redirects skill to create a redirect for the page 'old-path/page.md' to 'new/path/page.md'.
