Why it matters

An agent learns where things are from the headers, before it parses any page.

How to pass

Add Link headers such as rel="service-desc" and rel="sitemap" to your homepage response.

Run it

Find link-headers-discovery in the report. Add --md for a fix prompt you can paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
