Fix: robots.txt declares AI-crawler rules (RFC 9309)
Web-audit fix skill for the
robots-ai-rulescheck (Bot & crawl policy, SHOULD).
Goal
State your AI-crawler policy in robots.txt with explicit User-agent rules.
Fix
Add explicit User-agent rules for AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, CCBot, and others) to robots.txt, or a wildcard policy. Stating your stance (RFC 9309) removes ambiguity about whether AI systems may fetch your content.
