What to include
Include only stable, public, useful URLs: product docs, API references, pricing explanations, changelogs, support pages, and policy pages that help an assistant understand the site.
Agent-friendly site summary
Create a concise Markdown file for AI agents and assistants. Use it to point models toward the pages that best explain your product, docs, policies, or public resources.
AI crawler access control
LLMs.txt Generator for AI Agents and Search Assistants is maintained for website owners, publishers, SaaS documentation teams, ecommerce operators, and SEO teams who need llms.txt information architecture. The goal is to help visitors complete a real task and leave with a robots.txt draft, llms.txt draft, crawler audit note, or crawler policy decision record, not only read a generic summary.
Include only stable, public, useful URLs: product docs, API references, pricing explanations, changelogs, support pages, and policy pages that help an assistant understand the site.
Do not include private dashboards, thin tag pages, account pages, internal search pages, or pages that are not intended to become canonical entry points.
Review the file after major product launches, documentation reorganizations, or migration from one CMS structure to another.
Field workflow
A crawler policy is valuable only when someone can explain it later. Use the notes below to turn this page into a saved decision record instead of a one-time copied snippet.
Before touching robots.txt, write one plain-language sentence: "We want normal search visibility, we want AI answer visibility for public pages, and we do not want training crawlers to collect licensed archives." If the intent is not clear, the file often becomes a long block list that nobody maintains. A short intent statement also helps you decide whether a future crawler belongs with training, search, user-triggered retrieval, or normal indexing.
Do not test only the homepage. Choose one article or documentation page, one product or pricing page, one sitemap URL, one login or account path, and one intentionally private path. The file should express different outcomes where the business logic is different. This matters because broad rules can accidentally block useful search pages while still failing to protect sensitive paths that need authentication.
Save the date, the old rule, the new rule, and the reason for the change. If traffic drops, citations disappear, or a crawler starts hitting expensive paths, that note makes debugging much faster. A good note names the crawler role, the URL group affected, and the review owner who can change the policy later.
This extra review layer is intentionally practical. It helps BotAccess Lab pages answer a real operational question, produce a durable artifact, and avoid the kind of thin, generic explanation that fails when a user has to make a production change.
