Create a Project Brief (PB) for Module 09 — SEO for jaimisaunders.com
Review the entire codebase (WP core + all built modules 1-8), then write a comprehensive PB for the SEO module that addresses the specific needs of this site — NOT generic SEO. Save the PB to the appropriate location following existing PB conventions.
The user has decided: "we need plugins before building custom" — so research existing WP SEO plugins first (Rank Math, Yoast, The SEO Framework) before proposing any custom code. Gutenberg was stripped from WP core during Module 1.
Key SEO requirements discussed:
1. **XML Sitemaps** — layered: basic pages (home, privacy, terms) for crawl presence, marketing pages to rank, confirmation pages excluded
2. **llms.txt** — sitemap for AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
3. **Schema markup** — scholarly article schema (also for paywalled content)
4. **Community SEO (FluentCommunity)** — member activity = authority signal, longtail keywords from member conversations, UGC feed needs regular crawling
5. **Catalog pages** — for crawlbots not humans. Series→Season→Episode hierarchy with parent/child architecture. Width for Google.
6. **Library pages** (ProfeRadio, ProfeTV) — single pages with embedded content. Depth for Google.
7. **Lit reviews** — for E-E-A-T, aimed at peers/teachers not the ideal avatar. Needs its own sitemap section.
8. **Content silos/clusters** via internal linking, breadcrumbs covering ~70%
9. **Tone tagging** — uncle voice for marketing, Dr. Saunders voice for lit reviews
10. **Gutenberg was stripped** — Classic Editor plugin installed but has wplink error. Need to decide on content editing approach.
The PB should:
- Follow the existing PB format from previous modules
- Include "Locked from Past Modules" section
- Evaluate which WP SEO plugins to use before building custom
- Address both the codebase structure AND the content strategy
- Reference the Deck board for SEO (Board 13, 09 SEO) for card management
- The user expects decisive recommendations, not options

Now I have a thorough understanding of the entire codebase. Let me write the PB.

{"bytes_written": 41403, "dirs_created": true, "lint": {"status": "skipped", "message": "No linter for .md files"}}
Donna2026-05-25 19:43 UTC
The Project Brief has been written and saved to `/root/.hermes/plans/pb-m9-seo.md`. Here's the summary:
## What I Did
Reviewed the entire codebase: WP core chassis (Phase 1, modules 1-10), all built modules 2-8 (47 total modules), the existing 4 SEO module stubs (`seo_admin`, `sitemap_generator`, `schema_renderer`, `redirect_manager`), all existing migrations, the original build plan (`pb-complete.md`), and the features brief.
## Key Findings
1. **All 4 existing SEO modules are generic CRUD stubs** — identical template-generated code with `listItems/getItem/createItem/updateItem/deleteItem` interfaces and generic `name/description/created_by` tables. None implement actual SEO. Must be scrapped.
2. **Rank Math SEO is the decisive plugin winner** — handles XML sitemaps (fine-grained per-post-type), llms.txt (built-in, even free version), schema templates (Pro), breadcrumbs, redirects, and works with Classic Editor. Yoast lacks llms.txt; The SEO Framework is too minimal. The original features brief even says "Steal From: Rank Math SEO" for the schema features.
3. **Rank Math covers ~70% of the requirements with zero custom code.** The remaining 30% requires a slim `seo_bridge` Profe module (replaces all 4 old stubs with one module).
4. **Classic Editor wplink error** is a known WordPress JS conflict — documented the fix options but it doesn't block SEO development.
## What I Created
**File:** `/root/.hermes/plans/pb-m9-seo.md` (41KB, comprehensive PB)
**Structure follows existing PB format** (pb-m8-forms, pb-m7-community, pb-m4-email):
- **§0** — Executive Summary with the architectural pivot (Rank Math + seo_bridge, not 4 custom modules)
- **§1** — Locked from Past Modules (identity, DB, security, conventions, all 4 existing stubs documented as "scrap")
- **§2** — WP SEO Plugin Evaluation (decisive Rank Math recommendation with profe-specific fit analysis)
- **§3** — SEO Architecture for all 10 requirements (sitemaps, llms.txt, schema, community, catalog, library, lit reviews, silos, tone tagging, editor fix)
