Agent Ready HTML

AgentReady standard launches with read-layer MUSTs

In short

AgentReady.org launched as an MIT-licensed standard maintained with Vercel, Mintlify, Elementor and others. Its read MUSTs are the answer in initial HTML and real status codes; linking llms.txt, JSON-LD and OpenAPI is a SHOULD. Generated llms.txt indexes are capped at 100,000 characters; larger sites get a directory file with split indexes under /_llms/, and no page is dropped.
