- Category focus: Checks for llms.txt, sitemaps, and a clear public docs entry point. - Category note: Agents get a clean public entry point and a discoverable machine-readable index. - Passed: 3 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - LLMS TXT Exists: The docs publish llms.txt directly from the docs domain. - PASS - Docs Entry Point Is Clear: The homepage exposes a clear public docs starting point for agents. - PASS - LLMS TXT Links Resolve: Key discovery links resolve cleanly from the public docs surface. ### Markdown Availability - 100/100 - Question: Can an agent fetch a clean text version of the docs? - Category focus: Checks for markdown routes and clean text delivery without UI-heavy wrappers. - Category note: Agents can pull clean documentation text instead of scraping brittle UI wrappers. - Passed: 2 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - Markdown Route Exists: The docs expose a markdown-friendly representation for agent retrieval. - PASS - Readable Text Delivery: Core content is available without heavy UI chrome swallowing the copy. ### Page Size and Truncation Risk - 100/100 - Question: Can an agent read the page without losing important context? - Category focus: Checks for oversized pages, noisy navigation, and chunking risks. - Category note: Pages stay compact and chunked in a way that agents can digest reliably. - Passed: 3 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - Core Pages Stay Bounded: Primary task pages stay within a range that agents can ingest reliably. - PASS - Content Starts Early: Important instructions begin near the top of the page instead of after long nav blocks. - PASS - Chunking Strategy Is Agent-Friendly: Longer reference content is split cleanly enough that agents can keep context while navigating. ### Content Structure - 99/100 - Question: Can an agent understand how the page is organized? - Category focus: Checks for headings, code block formatting, and readable section hierarchy. - Category note: The docs are structured like a task system instead of a wall of text. - Passed: 3 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - Section Hierarchy Is Clear: Headings and subsections create a predictable task flow for agents. - PASS - Examples Are Well Framed: Code and examples are separated clearly from surrounding explanation. - PASS - Step Order Is Explicit: Core procedures are written in a way that agents can follow without guessing the next action. ### URL Stability and Redirects - 100/100 - Question: Can an agent trust that URLs will stay predictable? - Category focus: Checks for stable docs URLs and minimal redirect churn on core paths. - Category note: Agents can rely on stable links when they cite or revisit the docs. - Passed: 2 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - Canonical Docs URLs Are Stable: Core documentation routes are predictable and stable. - PASS - Redirect Churn Is Minimal: The docs do not force agents through noisy redirect chains on key paths. ### Observability and Content Health - 100/100 - Question: Can an agent tell whether the docs are fresh and trustworthy? - Category focus: Checks for freshness signals, content health, and crawl confidence. - Category note: Trust and maintenance signals are clear enough for agent workflows. - Passed: 3 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - Freshness Signals Exist: The docs expose enough freshness cues for agents to trust current guidance. - PASS - Content Parity Holds: Readable content stays consistent across public delivery formats. - PASS - Maintenance Signals Are Clear: Freshness and maintenance cues are strong enough for agents to trust the current guidance. ### Authentication and Access - 100/100 - Question: Can an agent access the docs without getting blocked? - Category focus: Checks whether public docs stay accessible and auth-gated content is handled clearly. - Category note: The public docs stay reachable, which keeps agent workflows from failing early. - Passed: 2 - Warnings: 0 - Failed: 0 - Skipped: 0 Checks: - PASS - Public Access Is Clear: Agents can reach the docs without hitting avoidable authentication walls. - PASS - Blocked Paths Are Explained: Where auth matters, the docs make the boundary clear instead of failing silently. ## Suggested Handoff Ask the developer or coding agent to work through the failed checks and next-step items first, then rerun the benchmark on https://docs.backboard.io/ to confirm the score moves in the right direction.
