Proposed changes

Documents the link audit from Promptless/promptless#5337, now merged. Promptless can crawl a published docs site with its built-in link checker, then fix what it reports in a suggestion. The checker reports broken links, missing anchors, and links that permanently redirect (301 or 308) to a new URL. You can run it on request or on a schedule trigger.

• New page: Example: Audit your docs for broken links under Teach Promptless a custom task. It covers prerequisites, including that the site must be on a public URL. It also covers one-off requests, a schedule trigger YAML example with the site URL in the instructions, and what the audit reports. External links are checked only when the request asks for them, and temporary redirects count as working links.
• Schedule triggers page: the use-case list links to the new page.
• Page metadata: the new page now meets the manni frontmatter rules that #1177 added. It has an id, type: how-to instead of type: guide, and the fields its sibling example pages carry. It has an Overview and a See also section, and its docs.metadata.yaml entry carries created and owner. The parent page's next-steps list now includes it.
• Teach Promptless a custom task: adds a LinkCard for the new example. It also rewrites the sentence that called all custom tasks event-driven, because schedule triggers run recurring checks.
• October 2026 changelog: new month file with a New Features entry.

This revision brings the earlier draft in line with the merged source PR. The merged PR adds no link-audit skill, so the following claims were removed: the docs_root_url crawl requirement, rechecking 403 and 429 links, archived-copy fixes, and quiet runs. The changelog entry moved from September to October 2026, because the source PR merged on October 7, 2026 (UTC).

Checklist

• Instructions and examples match the current product behavior.
• Links and image references are valid.
• Changed pages render correctly.

Verification: npm run build, lint:md, manni meta validate (132 of 132 pages pass), and manni lint structure on the new page passed. Vale reported no new findings. The link checker's redirect handling is covered by source unit tests, but nobody has run it against a live site.

I noticed that some CI checks failed for this PR. I'm investigating whether the failures are caused by this suggestion. If they're unrelated or pre-existing, I'll leave this suggestion unchanged and create a separate suggestion if a standalone docs fix is needed.
