# Reading this site as an agent

If you are an agent, you do not need the HTML. Start here:

| Path | What it holds |
|---|---|
| `/llms.txt` | the index: systems, transmissions, signals, with links to their markdown twins |
| `/llms-full.txt` | everything published, in one markdown file |
| `/index.json` | every item with its type, dates, tags, summary and a content hash |
| `<page>.md` | the markdown twin of any page: a small YAML header, then the text |
| `/feed.xml`, `/feed.json` | transmissions and signals, full content (Atom, JSON Feed 1.1) |

`/transmissions/feed.xml`, `/signals/feed.xml` and `/systems/feed.xml` carry one section each, in
Atom and in JSON.

The content hash in `/index.json` changes only when an item's text changes, so an agent that
keeps a copy can fetch only what moved.

Reading and training are both allowed; [/robots.txt](https://overinf.com/robots.txt) names the agents it expects.
