AI readiness check

Why: an assistant cannot cite a page its crawler is not allowed to fetch. This is the cheapest check with the biggest effect, so it runs before any content work.

Rules that come first

1. This skill only reads. It never edits robots.txt, llms.txt or any page. A fix goes through approve-and-measure-change.
2. Every bot in the result is reported as ok or blocked, each with its reason (the robots.txt rule, the HTTP status, or the firewall response). No bot is left out and none is reported as "probably fine".
3. Keep the two bot kinds apart: search bots (which index pages for AI answers) and user-fetch bots (which fetch a page when a person asks about it). Blocking one kind is a different decision from blocking the other.
4. Never state a rank or position inside any AI assistant, and never claim the site "appears in ChatGPT". This check measures access, not visibility.
5. Never scrape or query consumer AI apps to test visibility.
6. Any rate you report comes with its n plus an interval, or the words "insufficient data".

Steps

1. Get the site and its domain from start-here (gravity_overview, then gravity_list_sites if needed).
2. gravity_geo_crawler_access for the domain: the per-bot result for AI search and user-fetch bots.
3. gravity_seo_checklist_run for the site: the readiness checklist. Read the item list with gravity_seo_checklist_items when you need the wording of an item.
4. Optional reads when the user asks for more depth:
   • gravity_geo_llmstxt_validate to check an existing llms.txt.
   • gravity_geo_fetch_page to see a page the way a bot fetches it.
   • gravity_geo_citability to see whether a page is easy to quote.
5. Report:
   • A table with one row per bot: bot, kind (search or user-fetch), ok or blocked, reason.
   • The checklist items that failed, each with what to change and where.
   • One next step. If a bot the user cares about is blocked, offer the fix through approve-and-measure-change.

Check

The lead's eval proves this skill when the reply calls gravity_geo_crawler_access and gravity_seo_checklist_run, contains a row for every bot the tool returned with the literal ok or blocked and a reason, and contains no AI rank position and no claim of being shown in an assistant's answers.
