Problem

llms.txt is a proposed standard (llmstxt.org) for sites to expose a curated content map to LLMs. Cooperative sibling to robots.txt. Want to evaluate adding one to coilysiren.me.

Background

Spec: https://llmstxt.org/. Markdown file at site root, sectioned links with one-line descriptions. Optional /llms-full.txt with full content inlined.
Adopted by Anthropic, Stripe, others. Worth a real look.

Investigate

Read the spec end to end, confirm it has stabilized enough to implement against.
Decide what goes in (likely: /now, /resume, /pulse, /apps, blog posts) and what stays out (/hiring per the unlisted frontmatter flag added 2026-05-26, drafts).
Manual file vs Gatsby-generated. Site already builds rss.xml; same pipeline could emit llms.txt.
Should the unlisted flag drive both noindex meta and llms.txt exclusion? Likely yes - one source of truth for "do not surface this externally."
Whether to also ship /llms-full.txt. Tradeoff: freshness, build cost, bandwidth.

Out of scope

Implementation. This issue is the look-into-it pass that ends in a decision and (if yes) a follow-up implementation issue.
