Looks interesting, can you convert it to a skill with bunch of scripts to validate those guidelines and use it to build the websites?

This is pretty cool, didnt even know of half the options under well-known urls. Thanks!

.well-known/security is listed as a prominent example, but is not in the well-known category.

Useful reference https://securitytxt.org/

Though some sites drop it at the root /security.txt instead of /.well-known/security.txt

Note, invites beg bounties spam.

Hmm wondering how common some of these are ... I'd love /.well-known/change-password but it looks like https://news.ycombinator.com/.well-known/change-password and google.com/.well-known/change-password don't seem to be implemented?
king_zee•9m ago
security.txt is always under this folder for sites if it exists, it's also used by letsencrypt for certs or renewals fail

This seems good especially as beginner still face deep in the weeds of just the pure introductory functional concepts

llms.txt is supported by 0 of the relevant ai providers and must be seen as harmful

.. as the webmaster implemented something that they might thought has an impact (false sense of impact), but has zero

so net gain negative

i consider such lists harmful - a good website is one that supports the goal of the website providers and its desired users (some of these users might be bots)

a bad website is a website that does everything for everyone just because

"Agent Readiness" will likely age as well as "Web 4.0 Blockchain Integration" has.

(To be entirely clear, not because agents won't be a relevant thing, although certainly I have my doubts, but because I believe even if they are a relevant thing, requiring special allowances from sites undermines the whole point, and such things will only end up used by bad actors to mismatch what agents see to what humans see, and so will be intentionally ignored.)

This looks like slop from a slop factory. "SEO", "Agent-readiness". That's precisely what a good website doesn't do (to paraphrase the homepage).

Oh yes, it's produced by a Wordpress "SEO" expert and private investor using Claude LLM. What a surprise. A man who built a fortune destroying the internet we loved with advertisement slop now working on destroying whatever's left with LLM slop.

What a great resource. As someone who’s been making websites for 30 years, it’s amazing to still be picking up some of the basics. Though to be fair many of these didn’t exist back then.

I’ll be using this to add some extra tags to my pages.

It looks like there are some features noted as “required” that are actually required by the spec (e.g. a title tag), and others that are required by opinion (e.g. https) so there’s an element^ of pragmatic best practice being recommended.

I find it curious that setting a colour hint for the browser is recommended. I’m one for letting the browser look as vanilla as possible and letting my pages do the talking.

^Pun not intended, blink and you’ll miss it
