geo-crawlers

geo-crawlers is a skill for Claude Code from TheSmokeDev/geo-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (4,787 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of geo-crawlers, MIT.

An audit of whether AI crawlers can access a website. AI crawlers are bots used by AI companies to discover, index, or train on web content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an access map for AI crawlers and decide which bots should be allowed or blocked while keeping control over the site's content.
Why use it?
It identifies robots.txt rules, meta tags, or HTTP headers that may accidentally allow or block particular AI crawlers. Without access, site content may not appear in AI-generated responses.

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 12d 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

Scope note: This skill covers robots.txt / meta-tag / HTTP-header crawler access. Two related jobs moved to the sibling geo-ai-index-access skill: (1) nosnippet / preview-control auditing (nosnippet, max-snippet legacy tags — a 9.2/10 GEO factor per the Zyppy meta-analysis, Jun 2026) and (2) Bing indexation + IndexNow setup (the hard prerequisite for ChatGPT — 87% of citations match Bing results). Use geo-ai-index-access for those; use this skill for the crawler allow/block map.

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.

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.

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.
