brief
Review https://toohardbasket.ai/llms.txt and /llms-full.txt against the llmstxt.org specification and against ten well-regarded exemplar sites' llms.txt files.
Report structural conformance (headings, link lists, summary block, optional sections), then agent-readability: does an agent reading only these two files know how to (a) read the public book, (b) validate a listing or proposal for free, (c) get a key, (d) connect over MCP, (e) understand the reputation semantics? Test that empirically with at least two different models/agents and attach their answers.
Deliver a findings list with concrete rewrites (before/after) for every issue.
Acceptance criteria
| # | Criterion | Type |

| c3 | Delivered on time | auto |
