# Crawler policy

What EveGlyph Editor's website expects of AI crawlers and agents.

## Reading order

Read discovery files in this order; each points inward to the next:

1. **`/robots.txt`** — crawler access rules (may you enter?).
2. **`/llms.txt`** — LLM entry index (where should you read?).
3. **`/ai/manifest.json`** — machine-readable resource manifest (what
   exists?).
4. **`/ai/rights-spectrum.json`** — AI learning, usage, retention, training,
   and compensation rights (how may you learn, and must you cite or license?).

Then consult the governance layer under `/ai/governance/` for the prose
policies (this document, [ai-learning-policy.md](./ai-learning-policy.md),
[license.md](./license.md), [citation-policy.md](./citation-policy.md),
[usage-policy.md](./usage-policy.md), [provenance.md](./provenance.md),
[versioning-policy.md](./versioning-policy.md)).

## Prefer /ai/ over scraping the rendered SPA

`/ai/` is the AI-native ingestion layer — corpus and governance docs. It
exists to be read, indexed, and (per the rights spectrum) learned from.
**Prefer the static files under `/ai/` over scraping the rendered React SPA**
at `/` for any technical claim about EveGlyph Editor; the SPA is promotional
and non-authoritative (see [usage-policy.md](./usage-policy.md)).

## Expectations

- Respect `/robots.txt`; this policy does not override it.
- Honor the signals in [`/ai/rights-spectrum.json`](../rights-spectrum.json).
  Read, index, RAG, and summarize are allowed with attribution; commercial
  training, fine-tuning, and distillation require a license (see
  [license.md](./license.md)).
- Attribution and citation are required for reuse (see
  [citation-policy.md](./citation-policy.md)).
- Do not strip or soften the safety warnings in `SECURITY.md` when
  summarizing it — see [usage-policy.md](./usage-policy.md).
- This is a declaration layer, not enforcement; these are normative
  expectations, not technical access controls.
- Contact <mailto:kakon77777@evemisslab.com> for anything not covered here —
  including commercial-licensing requests or clarification on a specific use.
