A website check that examines whether AI crawlers—automated bots used by AI companies to find web content—can access a site.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing crawler access rules, mapping which AI bots can reach a site, and receiving recommendations for changing that access.
Why use it?
It identifies blocks in robots.txt, page tags, or HTTP headers that may prevent a site's content from being discovered by AI systems.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Provenance (THL):** tag the score `[scan]` (data fetched this run), `[partial-scan]`, `[heuristic]` (judgement, no data), or `[unmeasured]`, and emit `n/a` in.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

geo-crawlers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 17d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AI Crawler Access Analysis Skill

Purpose

This skill analyzes a website's accessibility to AI crawlers -- the bots that AI companies use to discover, index, and train on web content. If AI crawlers are blocked, the site's content cannot appear in AI-generated responses regardless of its quality. Crawler access is the foundational technical requirement for GEO.

Key Insight

As of early 2026, many websites inadvertently block AI crawlers through overly aggressive robots.txt rules, inherited from legacy SEO configurations. An Originality.ai 2025 study found that over 35% of the top 1,000 websites block at least one major AI crawler, and 5-10% block all AI crawlers. Blocking AI crawlers is the single fastest way to become invisible in AI-generated search results.


Complete AI Crawler Reference

Tier 1: Critical for AI Search Visibility (RECOMMEND: ALLOW)

These crawlers power the AI search products where users actively look for answers. Blocking them directly reduces your visibility in AI-generated responses.

GPTBot
  • Operator: OpenAI
  • User-Agent: GPTBot
  • Full User-Agent String: Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.2; +https://openai.com/gptbot)
  • Purpose: Fetches content for ChatGPT's web browsing, plugins, and search features. Content accessed by GPTBot may be used to improve OpenAI models.
  • Impact of Blocking: Content will NOT appear in ChatGPT Search results or be accessible when users ask ChatGPT to browse the web. This is the highest-impact AI crawler to allow.
  • Recommendation: ALLOW -- ChatGPT has 300M+ weekly active users as of 2025. Blocking GPTBot removes your content from one of the largest AI search surfaces.
OAI-SearchBot
  • Operator: OpenAI
  • User-Agent: OAI-SearchBot
  • Full User-Agent String: Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; OAI-SearchBot/1.0; +https://docs.openai.com/bots/overview)
  • Purpose: Specifically powers ChatGPT's search feature. Unlike GPTBot, content accessed by OAI-SearchBot is NOT used for model training -- only for live search results.
  • Impact of Blocking: Content will not appear in ChatGPT's search results even if GPTBot is allowed.
  • Recommendation: ALLOW -- This is a search-only crawler with no training implications. There is no strategic reason to block it.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
