Agent Files

Agent Files

Agent Files covers llms.txt, agent-map.json, preview, approval, publish state, freshness, kill switch, and rollback where implemented — with llms.txt treated as emerging, not a ranking or citation guarantee.

Govern llms.txt and agent-map.json with preview, approval, and rollback where implemented — llms.txt is emerging, not a ranking guarantee.

WordPress only WordPress only — free local publish path where implemented

Source facts

Public pages and policies

Preview file

llms.txt or agent-map draft

Approved publication

Owner-approved artifact

What goes wrong

Machine-readable agent files appear on checklists, but dropping a static llms.txt without preview, approval, or conflict checks creates new risk.

What you can see now

WordPress operators who want governed machine-readable files with preview and approval, and evaluators who need to see whether public agent files exist and match owner intent.

WordPress paths support preview, approval, publish state, freshness, kill switch, and last-known-good on the free local edition without payment lock. Shopify does not ship agent-file checks; store edits stay in Shopify Admin.

How it works

Agent Files in practice

  1. Detect

    Find public llms.txt and agent-map.json routes and physical conflicts.

  2. Draft

    Generate deterministic preview content from approved evidence selections.

  3. Preview

    Review exact output before anything publishes.

  4. Approve

    Owner gate — publish only after explicit approval.

  5. Rollback

    Kill switch and last-known-good where implemented on WordPress.

Evidence inputs

What it reads

  • Public /llms.txt and /agent-map.json responses
  • Preview diff before publish on WordPress
  • Publish state, freshness, and last-known-good where stored
  • Physical file conflicts with theme or server routes
Example output

Sample based on the documented methodology

Illustrative: llms.txt draft preview — 12 lines, owner excluded /promo-archive/

Illustrative: agent-map.json published — last approved timestamp where stored

Kill switch: available on WordPress — reverts to last-known-good where implemented

Boundaries

Control, limits, and availability

Availability
WordPress only — free local publish path where implemented
Read/write behaviour
WordPress: read public files, preview changes, publish on approval — free local workflow where implemented. Shopify: not available in current audit engine; no Agentic Bridge writes to the storefront.
Approval boundary
Nothing publishes to llms.txt or agent-map.json without explicit owner approval on supported WordPress paths.

What we do not claim

  • llms.txt is emerging — not a ranking or citation input guarantee.
  • Free local WordPress includes artifact preview, publish, kill switch, and last-known-good — not payment-gated.
  • Shopify does not ship agent-file checks or Agentic Bridge writes to the storefront.
  • Physical server files may block plugin publish until resolved.

Security & privacy

  • Agent files expose only owner-approved public summaries — no private admin URLs in defaults.
  • Kill switch and rollback paths respect WordPress publishing authority.

Common questions

Questions about Agent Files

Will llms.txt improve my rankings?+
No guarantee. Agentic Bridge treats llms.txt as a governed artifact, not an SEO lever.
Can Shopify publish llms.txt through Agentic Bridge?+
No. Shopify is read-only. Theme or app changes happen in Shopify Admin.
