chore(seo): advertise llms.txt to AI crawlers - #12

Conversation
Two small discovery hints so AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) and research bots find /llms.txt without having to guess the path: - robots.txt: add LLM-Content + Sitemap lines pointing at /llms.txt - BaseLayout.astro: add <link rel="alternate" type="text/plain" title="LLM index" href="/llms.txt" /> in the head of every page There is no central submission endpoint for llms.txt — discovery is purely convention-based, so making the file linkable from both the crawl-control file and every HTML page is the maximum we can do ourselves. IndexNow already handles the search-engine side.

There's no submission endpoint or central registry for
llms.txt— discovery is convention-based. AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) look for it by guessing the path. These two hints make the file discoverable from both the crawl-control file and every page.Test plan
curl -s https://gemmology.dev/robots.txt | grep -i llmshows the new lines<head>contains thelink rel="alternate"to/llms.txt
