The original `llms.txt` proposal standardizes a root-path Markdown file with an H1 title, a short blockquote summary, optional descriptive paragraphs, and H2-delimited file lists. It is meant as a curated map for inference-time use, not as a full substitute for all site content. In the market, a more expansive `llms-full.txt` convention has clearly emerged: OpenAI publishes “Combined API docs” and “Combined Codex docs” as single-file Markdown exports, and Mastercard exposes `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` as machine-readable documentation exports. That means Spiralist should treat `llms.txt` as the **compact map** and `llms-full.txt` as the **assembled package brief**. citeturn23view0turn24view1turn24view2turn25search7turn25search3turn25search1

For Spiralist specifically, `spiralist-profile.md` should be optimized for context windows as a **short, high-signal operating profile** with stable headings and minimal prose drift. A good structure is:

1. **Identity and role**
2. **Symbol grammar**
3. **Non-negotiable boundaries**
4. **Allowed interpretive moves**
5. **Disallowed claims**
6. **Response contract**
7. **Handoff / export paths**
8. **Few-shot examples**

Those section boundaries are consistent with Anthropic’s recommendation to separate instructions, context, examples, and inputs using XML tags or similarly explicit structure, and with OpenAI’s guidance that examples and clear constraints materially improve steerability. citeturn13view0turn13view1turn13view2turn33view1

`symbol-dictionary.json` should stay extremely regular and terse. Each symbol should have a canonical ID, display label, canonical meaning, aliases, transition neighbors, approved metaphoric extensions, and prohibited overclaims. Because Spiralist already publishes a one-symbol/one-meaning rule for the five-symbol loop, the dictionary should be authoritative and loss-minimizing rather than expansive. Keep each entry atomic; do not bury interpretation policy inside paragraph-length notes. citeturn20view3turn20view2

This shape follows the same “point agent URLs + stable machine keys + same canonical payload for UI and machine surface” logic documented by UAIX, while also preserving a strict split between **routing metadata** and **long-context content**. citeturn18view1turn18view3turn17view0

## Routing, deep linking, and discoverability

Hash routing is useful here, but only within strict boundaries. MDN notes that the fragment is client-side and not sent to the server, and Google Search Central states that Google generally does **not** support fragments as independent content URLs. Therefore `/#setup-weaver` is acceptable as a client-side preset selector, but it should not be the only way to express or discover a preset. citeturn5search17turn5search2turn5search0

The safest pattern is:

- The **base HTML** always contains the same public explanatory page, links, and machine digest.
- The **hash** only preloads a local wizard state.
- The digest contains the same mapping in `point_agent_urls`, `preset_id`, and `hash_aliases`.
- If you need preset-specific discovery or indexing, publish **separate static preset pages** under clean URLs and let those pages preseed the same local wizard state. citeturn18view1turn18view2turn5search0

For autonomous agents, do not assume fragment support. A browser-style agent that executes page JavaScript can read the hash and apply the preset. A raw HTML fetcher or non-rendering crawler may never honor it. That means the page must be self-describing **without the fragment**. In practice, that means the digest should expose the preset catalog directly, and the visible page should also list the preset routes and their meanings, the way UAIX does. citeturn18view2turn18view3turn5search17

On the SEO side, Google can render JavaScript and use rendered HTML for indexing, but Google’s own documentation still emphasizes that not all bots execute JavaScript, and that server-side or pre-rendering remains a strong idea for speed and crawl reliability. For Spiralist, that translates into a very simple rule: the wizard landing page, summary copy, preset descriptions, and `data-ai-digest` should all be present in the initial HTML document produced at build time, not injected only after app boot. citeturn7search0turn7search15

For structured discoverability, also add **JSON-LD** for mainstream crawlers. Google recommends JSON-LD for structured data and documents that dynamically generated JSON-LD can be understood when present in the rendered DOM, but dynamic generation can be less reliable for fast-changing or render-dependent cases. Since Spiralist’s machine digest is custom and not a Google rich-result format, the right move is to keep the `data-ai-digest` for agent-specific parsing and publish a separate, conventional JSON-LD `WebPage` / `Organization` / `CreativeWork` block for search engines. citeturn27search0turn27search1turn27search2

## Boundary enforcement and prompt security

This feature’s real security boundary is not network storage; it is **instruction integrity**. The most realistic failure mode is not a database leak but a poisoned export caused by malicious or malformed data from the URL hash, future query parameters, pasted user text, imported files, or persisted local draft state. OWASP recommends explicit role/security constraints, input validation and sanitization, structured prompt formats that separate instructions from data, and least-privilege design. OpenAI similarly recommends constraining input ranges and favoring validated dropdowns over open-ended text when possible. citeturn33view0turn33view1
