Why it matters

AI search can only cite pages its crawlers may read. Blocking training crawlers is a separate choice.

How to pass

Allow the AI search crawlers in robots.txt, and block training crawlers only if you choose to.

Run it

Find robots-ai-policy-quality in the report. Add --md for a fix prompt you can paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
