llms-txt-checker — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited llms-txt-checker (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Audits any domain's AI-readiness by using curl to directly probe robots.txt, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt, then scores each file against a structured checklist and delivers a formatted report with pass/warn/fail findings and actionable fixes.
The user provides only a domain (e.g. anthropic.com or docs.example.com). Claude uses bash_tool with curl commands to directly probe the domain — no guessing, no page-scraping required.
Instead of relying on web_fetch and hoping links surface organically, this skill uses curl via bash_tool to directly request the well-known paths for robots.txt, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt. This is reliable, fast, and works regardless of how the site is built.
The curl commands follow HTTP redirects, capture response codes, and save content to temp files for auditing.
Take the user-provided input and strip any trailing slashes, http://, https://, or path segments to get a clean base domain (e.g. docs.anthropic.com). If the user provides a full URL like https://docs.anthropic.com/en/home, extract just docs.anthropic.com.
Run the following curl commands using bash_tool. Use -L to follow redirects, -s for silent mode, -o to save content, -w to capture HTTP status codes, and a reasonable timeout (--max-time 10).
DOMAIN="<normalised-domain>"
# Fetch robots.txt
curl -L -s -o /tmp/robots.txt -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 10 "https://$DOMAIN/robots.txt" > /tmp/robots_status.txt
# Fetch llms.txt
curl -L -s -o /tmp/llms.txt -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 10 "https://$DOMAIN/llms.txt" > /tmp/llms_status.txt
# Fetch llms-full.txt
curl -L -s -o /tmp/llms-full.txt -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 10 "https://$DOMAIN/llms-full.txt" > /tmp/llms_full_status.txt
# Print status codes and file sizes for inspection
echo "robots.txt: $(cat /tmp/robots_status.txt) | $(wc -c < /tmp/robots.txt) bytes"
echo "llms.txt: $(cat /tmp/llms_status.txt) | $(wc -c < /tmp/llms.txt) bytes"
echo "llms-full.txt: $(cat /tmp/llms_full_status.txt) | $(wc -c < /tmp/llms-full.txt) bytes"Interpret the HTTP status codes:

cat /tmp/robots.txt
cat /tmp/llms.txt
# For llms-full.txt, show first 200 lines only to avoid flooding context:
head -200 /tmp/llms-full.txt
wc -l /tmp/llms-full.txt # get total line count
wc -c /tmp/llms-full.txt # get total byte sizeCase A — Both `llms.txt` (200) AND `llms-full.txt` (200)
Case B — Only `llms.txt` (200), `llms-full.txt` returned 404

This means AI agents and LLMs browsing your docs will have no structured index to work from — they'll need to crawl individual pages or guess at your content structure.
>
To fix this, surface thellms.txtURL somewhere Claude (and other AI tools) can see it when fetching your page. Good options: - Add it to your page footer (e.g.LLM usage: /llms.txt) - Include it in a blockquote at the top of your docs homepage or.mdpage version (e.g.> Documentation index available at: https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt) - Reference it in yourrobots.txtor a<meta>tag
>
Once it's linked from a page that AI agents naturally land on, it becomes discoverable automatically.
llms.txtwas found and audited. However,llms-full.txtwas not referenced anywhere in the file.
>
llms-full.txt is the companion file containing the full content of all documentation pages in a single file — useful for AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) that need deep context without fetching dozens of individual pages.>
To add it: Reference it in yourllms.txtunder a## Documentation Setssection or similar, like: ``- [Complete documentation](https://yourdomain.com/llms-full.txt): full content of all pages`` If you're on Mintlify, it's auto-generated — just make sure it's linked.
