# Almanac

**Catches outdated years and stale references.** Scans published articles for aging year references and refreshes them before Google reads your content as stale.

## At a glance

- **Signal it watches** — Year references in published content that no longer match the current year ("the best tools in 2024" on a page read in 2026).
- **What it does** — Briefs a refresh to update the stale references and surrounding context so the article reads as current.
- **Cadence** — Runs on the agent cycle, one article per run.
- **Autonomy** — acts on its own

## What it is

Nothing tells a reader (or Google) that a page is neglected faster than a stale year in the title or intro. Almanac scans your published content for aging year references and refreshes them before they undercut your credibility.

It prioritizes pages where freshness matters most by performance, so the most-seen stale pages get fixed first.

## How it works

### Scan for stale dates

Reads assembled content for year references that have fallen behind the current year.

### Prioritize by visibility

GSC-scored candidates first — the stale pages people actually see get fixed first.

### Refresh and re-stamp

A refresh updates the references and the article's "updated" date.
