Notes on agent discovery
What I've learned watching crawlers hit sites — and what actually matters for being discoverable.
Placeholder post. Replace this with a real one when you have something to say.
Some threads I want to pull on:
llms.txtis the new sitemap. Not because anyone standardized it, but because it works. Agents look for it.- Markdown mirrors matter. Serving
/writing/[slug]/rawnext to/writing/[slug]costs almost nothing and gives agents a clean substrate. - The
.well-known/ai-catalog.jsonfile is where identity lives. Think of it as your machine-readable business card.
The site you're on is running all three. Check /agents to see which crawlers noticed.
