Agent discovery
Most sites are built for humans and search engines. Very few are optimized for AI agents — the audience that's increasingly the first, and often only, reader.
This site is a small working example of what good agent discovery looks like. Below: the standards implemented here, the full inventory of published files, and a live view of every crawler that visits.
llms.txt
Should implementA short markdown index of the site written for language models. Points at every page and every machine-readable file. Now a de facto standard for LLM-readable site maps — cheap to publish, obvious upside.
Markdown mirrors
Should implementEvery page has a plain-markdown twin. Append .md to any URL, or send Accept: text/markdown. Agents can consume the site without parsing HTML or running JavaScript. Trivial to add, big win.
Model Context Protocol
Should implementA Streamable HTTP MCP server exposing typed tools. Any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) can connect and query the site as a live data source. The spec still moves, but the client ecosystem has already converged — shipping now is right.
agents.json
Too soonRoot manifest describing what an agent can do on the site — endpoints, tools, content-negotiation rules. Overlaps with the MCP server card. Spec is still emerging with no clear consensus. Publish it if it's cheap, but don't count on it yet.
Schema.org JSON-LD
Should implementStructured data embedded on every content page. Person on /resume with full work history, Blog + BlogPosting on notes, WebSite on the home page. Not new, but table stakes for knowledge graphs, rich results, and any agent that reads structured data.

Live agent traffic
Every request from a known crawler user-agent is logged. Refreshes once a minute.
