This site sells an audit of how\n# machine-readable a site is; gating it would be an odd way to make the case.\n#\n# The named groups below are not restrictions. They exist because AC-01 in\n# our own rubric asks whether crawler treatment is a decision somebody made\n# or a default nobody chose, and a site that ships this check should be able\n# to answer it.\n#\n# Four paths are disallowed and none of them is content. /operator/ is the\n# review surface, behind sign-in; /report/ is somebody's paid audit,\n# addressed by an unguessable token; /claim/ attaches a purchase to the\n# account following it, so a crawler following one would be doing something\n# rather than reading something; /account is one person's purchases.\n# Each already answers `noindex`, and each is listed here as well because\n# robots.txt is what a crawler reads BEFORE it fetches the page carrying\n# that header — a crawler that has to fetch the page to learn not to index\n# it has already fetched the page. Nothing here is a secret kept by this\n# file: the token is the access control on a report, not this line.\n\nUser-agent: *\nAllow: /\nDisallow: /operator/\nDisallow: /report/\nDisallow: /claim/\nDisallow: /account\n\nUser-agent: GPTBot\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: OAI-SearchBot\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: ChatGPT-User\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: ClaudeBot\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: Claude-User\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: PerplexityBot\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: Google-Extended\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: Applebot-Extended\nAllow: /\n\nUser-agent: CCBot\nAllow: /\n\nSitemap: https://citeunseen.io/sitemap.xml\n",
