# AI Agents: Check structured endpoints FIRST before HTML scraping
# This provides 9x semantic richness vs HTML-only crawling

# PRIMARY DISCOVERY ENDPOINT (Check this FIRST!)
Allow: /.well-known/agent-discovery.json

# Step-by-Step Agent Exploration:
# 1. GET /.well-known/agent-discovery.json (START HERE)
# 2. Read "domain_purpose" to understand GEO vs SEO distinction
# 3. Parse "research_areas" for GEO methodology
# 4. Check "structured_endpoints" for implementation guides
# 5. Follow research content for empirical findings
