## Crawlers we explicitly allow

`robots.txt` allows (non-exhaustive): GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, Claude-User, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot, Applebot-Extended, Amazonbot, Bytespider, CCBot, Diffbot, FacebookBot, meta-externalagent, YouBot, Cohere-ai, AI2Bot.

Training opt-outs are **not** applied by default so answer engines can cite accurate install docs. Change `robots.txt` if you later want training-only blocks while keeping search bots allowed.

## Citation-ready facts

## For maintainers

When adding a high-intent doc:

1. Link it from `llms.txt`
2. Add a short FAQ answer to `llms-full.txt` if it changes public facts
3. Add the GitHub blob URL to `sitemap.xml`
4. Keep the first paragraph a definition sentence answer engines can quote
